Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali
More photosExpert reviews
“The 85-unit Alila offers gracious service in a setting where the blue of the ocean contrasts with the green of the surrounding (hotel-tended) rice fields.”
“Alila Villas Uluwatu has received much praise for its architecture and its quality service. Perched high in an elevated plateau at the southern coast, this prominent luxury resort sprawls across 35 acres by the cliffside of Uluwatu, which is renowned for its magical sunset.”
“A stylish, modern hideaway on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, this cliffside resort has 65 of what one reader called “the best villas in the world” thanks to thoughtful design and jaw-dropping ocean views. The 182-foot pool is another property highlight you might indulge once you’ve had enough of the private plunge pool that comes with your villa.”
Featured in Travel+Leisure’s Top 100 Hotels in the World.
“On a cliff-top in the famed Uluwatu area, this may be one of Bali’s most visually stunning resorts. With streamlined, contemporary architecture, the island’s most-photographed infinity pool, and villas so chic you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into an Instagram feed, Alila Villas Uluwatu is a jet-setting getaway.”

Architecture. Serenity. Rooms and the size of it.
This kind of hotel doesn't come cheap at Christmas.

One of the best hotels in the world - lived up to the hype.
This place is heaven on earth. Huge rooms, plenty of privacy, the most unbelievably attentive staff.
Any criticisms would be nit-picking.

You never want to leave!
We love everything that Alila Villas offers, the nature, the ambiance, the spa and yoga classes!! The staff were super helpful and the quality of the services were excellent. And finally we extended our stay to 4nights.
Some little fixations needed in the rooms. (Lightining, doors)

Beautiful setting & room. Hospitality staff were amazing
Cost, couldn’t see value for money at $1700 per night. Conflicting information regarding bottle of champagne, if included in price or extra cost. Poor check out service.

Very nice property and area but service is just so-so
Nice property with pleasant views, rooms are very spacious and the outdoor area with the pool is quite nice and private. The spa was nice and surprisingly affordable and so was the food.
I felt there are not enough sun loungers by the pool for that many villas. Also, one restaurant was closed, and we wanted to have lunch once and there was only one table left. On another instance we wanted to have a drink at the bar before dinner, but it was full. That was a bit disappointing. I expected the staff to be super attentive and very well trained, but I think they never got our order right. Not once! Something was always forgotten, or the wrong order was brought. For the price we paid, I expected wayyyy better service! We still had a good time, but I feel like we wasted our money.

amazing place terrible noise and horrible sleep
the place is magical and the experience over all is exceptional .
had the worst night sleep of my life as the pool noise was unacceptable. I believe the drain was blocked so all night it sounded like a gurgling coffee percolator.

Great views and lots of sun
Service was excellent when we asked for things. restaurant was spectacular. great views and lots of sunshine.
The property was not well-maintained and looked weathered. It wasn’t a good value for the amount of money you’re spending per night. It also took a while for the staff to realize we were on our honeymoon and expected high levels of service. Once we shared feedback they delivered excellent levels of service And even had a personal butler take care of us for the day.

Really Disapointed
location and view
1.5 hour wait for lunch
no pool towels initially
electric sockets didn’t work
the blinds have all gaps in them so the sunlight comes straight through . you will wake up at sunrise
for $5,000 AUD per night it was a really disappointing stay
