Alila Villas Uluwatu

The villa itself is absolutely beautiful and the staff were amazing throughout our stay. The hotel also has incredible views of the Indian Ocean. We specifically chose Alila for a staycation because we wanted somewhere peaceful where we could relax, enjoy the villa, and not really have to leave the property. For that purpose, it would have been perfect. That said, I would strongly reconsider staying here over a weekend, especially if there is a wedding or event happening at the hotel. Unfortunately, there was a wedding during our stay, and the loud music, screaming, and overall noise completely ruined the tranquil atmosphere we came here for. Even from inside our villa, the noise was very noticeable late into the night (past 10pm). For a resort at this price point, I really expected the guest experience and peaceful atmosphere to be better protected, especially when private events are taking place. (I also talked to a staff member and they mentioned that this seems to be a recurring concern shared among other guests. They host a lot of weddings and therefore this hotel tends to be noisy during weekends. I would avoid booking Alila during weekends completely just to be safe!) Another thing to keep in mind is that there really isn’t much nearby, and the hotel itself is relatively small. If you’re coming to Bali to explore, go to restaurants, or have lots of things to do, this probably isn’t the most convenient location. But if your goal is simply to stay in a beautiful villa, relax, and enjoy the ocean views, it’s a wonderful setting. Unfortunately, the wedding noise was a big enough issue that it really affected my overall impression of the stay. The property, villas, views, and staff are all lovely, but for the price we paid, I was hoping for a much more peaceful and relaxing experience.

This resort has serious drainage and plumbing issues. For a luxury resort charging around $800 per night, the condition of the facilities was extremely disappointing. I stayed in Villa 220. On one occasion, the shower in my villa did not drain properly, causing water to overflow into the bedroom while I was showering. On another occasion, the shower in the spa facility also failed to drain, and we had to use towels to prevent the water from flooding the changing room floor. The water pressure for the bathtub in the villa was also extremely low. It would have taken more than an hour to fill the tub, and I eventually gave up on taking a bath in the bathtub because it was taking far too long. The staff were friendly, but the resort’s basic plumbing and water facilities are not remotely up to the standard expected of a high-end luxury property. There are many resorts in the Uluwatu area offering views of this caliber. I recommend choosing a different resort. I regret choosing this resort.

Incredible staff and highly accomodating. We were very impressed with our pool villa and was a perfect place to relax at the end of our honeymoon. Would highly recommend to couples or guests looking for a luxury stay in Uluwatu.

Alila Villas Uluwatu is an incredible place with amazing staff. Our stay here was amazing and we highly recommend Alila to any guests planning a trip to Uluwatu. The staff at Alila are at the ready, anticipating your needs and happy to welcome you each and every day. The food options were phenomenal, breakfast each day was such a pleasant experience. The villa was clean and immaculate, the property is well thought out and maintained very well. Our stay was so relaxing and fulfilling, we will return one day.

Top notch service by the staff, amazing location and good food. Proactively took care of the family even before our arrival and paid attention to details.
