Alila Villas Uluwatu
Indonesia
Alila Villas Uluwatu sits high above the Indian Ocean on Bali's Bukit Peninsula, with open views and sharply defined contemporary architecture. Latticed pavilions and an expansive infinity pool make the clifftop setting integral to the resort's identity. Every villa has a private pool, with indoor and outdoor living areas that allow guests to spend much of their stay in their own space. Larger villas accommodate families and groups, while the one-bedroom options are well suited to couples seeking privacy and ocean air. The Warung focuses on Indonesian cooking in an open-air setting. CIRE takes a broader approach, drawing on Mediterranean and Asian flavours, and Sunset Cabana Bar makes a natural place to watch the light change over the water. Spa treatments and time beside either the main pool or a private one encourage a slow rhythm. The resort works particularly well for travellers drawn to architecture, seclusion and dining, with the wider beaches and temples of southern Bali available for days spent exploring.
