The same goes with the villas. Incorporating locally sourced materials, bamboos were used to take advantage of fresh air coming in while large glass windows ensured guests enjoyed uninterrupted views of the ocean. Flat, lava rock roofs complemented the native furnishings of the rooms with Balinese touches. Modern conveniences such as complimentary Internet access were added in subtly. Snug, cozy and comfortable, each villa was carefully designed to evoke relaxation in a natural surrounding, equipped with private cabanas. It is no wonder guests staying in Alila Villas Uluwatu find it hard to leave when the time comes for them to go.
Perched on a cliff top plateau on the Bukit Peninsula, the Alila Villas Uluwatu offers panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. As guests enter the lobby, they are greeted with sweeping views of the infinity pool that seemingly reaches up to the sky and the cerulean sea beyond. Rarely found in other resorts, Alila Villas Uluwatu’s infinity pool truly lives up to its name. Guests seemingly swim in an endless sea with the horizon almost within one’s reach. The wooden cabana, also called ‘stick pavilion’, hangs precariously at the edge of the cliff. More than half of the cabana juts out into the ocean making it an excellent viewing deck. Box-like with open-air ambience, it is also perfect for watching the sunset or sunrise as one basks in the breathtaking ocean view.
Activities guests can indulge in include yoga in the middle of the scenic surroundings. All 61 villas are equipped with a plunge pool for guests’ thorough enjoyment. Wii and Nintendo are readily available too. A visit to the Spa would surely leave everyone relaxed and rejuvenated.
