Alila Ubud

Alila Ubud is a boutique resort in a secluded hillside setting, a mere 15-minute drive north of Ubud. Inspired by a traditional Balinese village, all rooms come with breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below, the Ayung River that runs through it, and the volcanoes surrounding the resort. Designed by Kerry Hill, the rooms stand on stilts and blend modern materials with traditional design. Suites feature terraces or balconies, and villas include either a wrap-around deck or a private outdoor bath. Start your day with a guided trek in a nearby mountain village, then come back to the hotel for a massage in the open-air Mandara Spa. In the afternoon, go for a dip in the picturesque infinity pool, which appears to “float” above the valley and forest.
