With a flawless design and a spectacular setting, Alila Villas Uluwatu marries Balinese culture with modern design. Perched atop a magnificent plateau abutting limestone cliffs, the ocean below bellows with the sound of crashing waves and creates a melodic echo with every crest. There are 84 sustainably-designed villas concealing interiors that are contemporary and uncluttered, with overtones of traditional Balinese textures including rattan and stone. The multi-room villas, each with its own pool, radiate with luxury and boast such appointments as private bars, outdoor dining nooks, private cabanas, and stylish baths with both indoor and outdoor showers. There is also 24-hour butler service, which adds an effortless element to your stay.

Family of 3 from Boston. Stayed 3 nites and 4 days. Due to traffic and relatively narrower roads arrived around 7pm, coming from Ubud. We checked in and headed to Indonesian hotel restaurant. The Indonesian/Bali food was wonderful. The staff took the time to explain each dish. We had carried an opened bottle of Bali wine (from lunch in Ubud) and the staff was kind enough to serve that in proper glasses. And here we met Putu. The next 3 days Putu made our stay especial through attention to details. As we were curious of Balinese cuisine and drinks , he recommended drinks (mixed, beer) and dishes for lunch and dinners. Next day in the AM we took in the view of the grounds. Just phenomenal view to the ocean. We had breakfast in the International restaurant, complement for being Globalist. This was a la carte, with familiar and Balinese cuisine. And here Putu once again helped navigate the cuisine. The fruit serving was excellent, with a variety of mixed fresh fruits l. We were more found of a specific subset, and Putu made sure were got that subset for each breakfast. The villa was spacious with private pool and cabana. Outdoor (very private) shower included. We spent half of one day in our pool. The grounds are large enough for a morning run of 5km or more, which I took advantage of each day. For a nice PM activity, the large sized cabana by the pool overlooking the ocean was just nice. Very breezy with ocean winds to cool off the heat. And here Putu recommended mixed drinks for cooling down. From this cabana there is a set of stairs to go to the ocean level for a small private beach. The steps are a bit over 600. Thus 1200+ for round trip. This alone will give you a good workout. The beach is mix of sand and volcanic rock. We took advantage of the professional photographer photo shoot session. The basic set is complementary, but we got the full package (mix of hard and digital copies), which was worth it. During our 4 days of stay , except one lunch, we dined at the hotel restaurants. The quality of food and service was that good. One evening Putu arranged for a prefix course dinner with wine pairing. Wonderful again. Fusion Balinese cuisine. From the gardeners to buggy drivers , the entire staff are friendly and courteous. We were blessed to have experienced this stay.

Our stay at Alila Uluwatu was truly exceptional. Victoria and her star team member, Henry, went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. From thoughtful touches to seamless service, their genuine care and attention to detail made all the difference. We felt completely looked after and deeply appreciated their dedication. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Alila Villas Uluwatu. The views from the reception and restaurants are magical. All the staff are extremely friendly and professional, the hotel manager answers WhatsApp message requests within minutes! The rooms are modern, spacious and well maintained with a large outdoor area and private pool. The breakfast, lunch and dinner served at the hotel is fresh, delicious and 5 stars all-around! The local Indonesian cuisine at the hotel for lunch/ dinner is a must, the flavours and quality is exceptional. There is also access to a remote and untouched beach 600 steps away from the pool area - definitely worth a trek and visit in the morning hours! We couldn't recommend Alila Villas Uluwatu more! A+

“The Alila Uluwatu is a truly gorgeous property with breathtaking views. It was the perfect end to our honeymoon. I strongly recommend the hotel for a private getaway for couples although there were some families present at the time we were there. Definitely a very pricey hotel. The saying ""if you have to ask then you probably can't afford it"" I think fits well. However with views and luxury behind them I figure one shouldn't complain. Really miss waking up to seeing my private pool, cabana and the blue skies and seas of the Indian ocean sprawled out before me. Service couldn't be flawed either. Smiles everywhere accompanied by genuine interest to make sure all was well with meals, spa, rooms etc."
