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.

Amazing experience of luxury! We were treated like royalty and couldn’t recommend staying here anymore. The hotel feels like a paradise located in a jungle where you can experience monkeys and wild nature and are thoroughly taken care of by the staff

Nice hotel in the middle of the Jungle. Laid back with great service and a shuttle bus or cheap taxi ride into the middle of Ubud. Great base for exploring the wonders of Bali. Daily visit from the monkeys surrounding the hotel adds a touch of excitement to the day,

Wonderful stay at Alila, a real retreat in the jungle. Excellent service and thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. Great seeing the monkeys at close hand although you had to watch your things! Would definitely recommend if you would like a relaxing holiday. Food was great although only 2 restaurants and 1 pool.

Stayed here for the second week of our honeymoon! The facility is beautiful with stunning views that the pictures don't capture. Booked through the World of Hyatt to get a bit of a discount. Stayed in the pool villa, which was absolutely gorgeous. There are two places to eat, the plantation for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the pool restaurant for lunch, high tea, and dinner. We ate breakfast at plantation everyday and went to the pool restaurant a couple of times for lunch. Both have great food. I’d say not to be in a rush to go anywhere as the bill takes a bit of time. We had activities on TripAdvisor pre booked. But ended up adding two through the hotel. The VW Thing 1-hr tour and the Silversmith class. We loved both! We also went to a Baron Dinner hosted at the Plantation restaurant. They also have free shuttle service to central Ubud which runs every 2hrs. I’d say this place is best for R&R. They do have monkeys! Read less

The Alila resort is one of the most unique and stunning places we have ever stayed in and we are so glad we visited as part of our honeymoon. The hotel felt special from the moment we arrived and reception softly welcomed us to “The Jungle” along with face towels and a refreshing drink. The views around the pool and bar area are absolutely spectacular and the monkeys give a fun and non-intrusive immersion in nature to the whole experience. The breakfast was delicious each day and really in fitting with the overall luxury feel of the hotel. There are plenty of choices for breakfast which were all really fresh and well presented. This theme continued with the afternoon teas which we enjoyed multiple times during our stay. All the staff throughout the visit were absolutely brilliant. The room we stayed in (Deluxe Room) was slightly on the small side but had amazing views of the jungle valley and a beautiful outdoor shower and bath. Whilst at the hotel we thoroughly enjoyed the morning Thai Chi class and morning rice field walk. The local village is a really nice place to stroll through and meet smiley locals. As other people have noted Ubud town centre is a taxi journey away but apps can easily be used to get a ride into town which is fully worth doing to enjoy the plentiful restaurant options and catch a Monkey Dance. Given the traffic, it is genuinely quicker to get a ride to the near side of the town and walk the final few minutes to the centre. Alila Ubud is fully worth the visit for people after a special stay in the most unique setting. Read less
