Virgin rating

The hotel

This hotel blends contemporary design with traditional Balinese architecture. Design-led and very stylish, the Alila Ubud is a secluded hillside retreat renowned for its dramatic infinity pool with amazing views, which appears to float over the valley below. Its lush gardens, secluded courtyards and terraces create a wonderfully intimate and peaceful atmosphere. The Spa Alila nurtures body and mind, and sources many of its spa ingredients locally in the Balinese foothills, and with the therapists using ancient asian healing techniques and age-old beauty recipes you are sure to feel rejuvenated and refreshed after a visit. If you wish to get out and about there is a leisure concierge that will help you discover more about this fascinating area by trekking or cycling locally or organising cultural learning with visits to Balinese dancing events.

We stayed for 4 nights, on arrival my daughter was ill and the staff looked after us and asked after her constantly during our stay. We upgraded to a villa with a balcony which was stunning and perfect for me and my 19 and 20 yr olds! The pool, spa, location and staff were all incredible, thank you for a wonderful stay.

I understand the critique of the hotel being that it's a bit away from the Ubud action... But honestly, I found that to be a strength. The location is absolutely stunning, and the hotel is only about 20 minutes from Ubud center on a motor bike. Exceptional service -- there was a mix up with an activity I had planned that day and I had to check out a bit later than planned. Staff were very accommodating... It's possible they just didn't quite need the room yet, but I appreciated their kindness and understanding nonetheless. Food at the restaurants was tasty, and I found the room to be very romantic. Will return here on my next trip! Read less

The hotel location is perfect. Nice and clean rooms, great pool, timely shuttle service to Ubud, variety of activities throughout the week, nice rotating breakfast menu, and super friendly and helpful staff. Only drawback is that the property is not really suitable for physically challenged/ elderly people due to the vast number of steps one has to climb up and down throughout the property. Other than that it's a great place to unwind and have a relaxing vacation. I would definitely stay here again. Read less

The Alila is a beautiful hotel, the pool area and the views are stunning however we did not like this hotel. As two young travellers, we found the Alila to be far too quiet, to the point we felt we could not speak whilst in the pool or sunbathing, which for us is not fun. This hotel is more for people who are looking to relax quietly and peacefully and it isn’t a hotel for a group of friends. It’s also so far out of Ubud and whilst the shuttle service is a lovely touch, the last shuttle back is at 5pm so no good for a return after an evening meal, which we had to have in Ubud town as a meal at the hotel is the most expensive we have found after travelling around Bali and Lombok. Way over priced as well as the spa which was equivalent to £70-£80 English pounds for a massage (you can get a massage in town for the equivalent of £5!) There are certain aspects of this hotel that I can see to be a 5 star but for me it certainly wasn’t. Read less
