Winner of Exquisite Awards 2024 – Best Cliffside Villa Resort: Alila Villas Uluwatu
Perched on limestone cliffs 100m above the Indian Ocean, Alila Villas Uluwatu blends eco-conscious luxury with breathtaking natural beauty, making it one of Bali’s most desirable cliffside retreats. Designed in partnership with the acclaimed architectural firm WOHA, known for its environmentally sensitive approach, the resort embraces the land with thoughtful integration of natural materials, including hand-cut stone, bamboo ceilings and volcanic batu chandi rock, all contributing to a structure that feels like a seamless part of its surroundings. Each villa is positioned on tiered terrain to ensure unobstructed ocean views, creating a serene sanctuary that feels both expansive and intimate.
Inside, the villas feature spacious, open-plan layouts with sliding glass doors that open onto private pools and cabanas, merging the indoor and outdoor spaces in harmony with the natural environment. The interiors are defined by earthy tones and textures, with wood, stone and rattan furnishings enhancing the understated elegance of the design. Rooms are equipped with modern conveniences, while the bathrooms offer deep soaking tubs and are stocked with Alila’s signature bath essentials.
Dining is a culinary journey. CIRE offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes rich in seasonal vegetables, fish and olive oil. For a private setting, BATIQUE serves rare single malts and fine cigars. The Warung celebrates Indonesian and Balinese cuisine in a relaxed, semi open-air setting, while the Sunset Cabana Bar offers stunning ocean views and artisanal cocktails, ideal for sunset watching.
For those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, Spa Alila offers an extensive menu of treatments that blend Asian and western techniques, utilising natural active ingredients designed to restore and invigorate. With its serene environment and skilled therapists, Spa Alila offers a holistic sanctuary for guests, open throughout the day and into the evening, ensuring ample opportunity for complete relaxation.
