Alila Villas - Uluwatu, Uluwatu

Alila Ula Watu is an ultra-modern, luxury hotel with an incredibly dramatic setting atop a limestone cliff. With little else within sight, the striking white and stark modernist design creates a dynamic contrast with the sea, cliffs and surrounding countryside.

The hotel has 60 luxurious, private, large pool villas, all with a comprehensive range of modern amenities and facilities and stunning views from private cabanas at the end of the good sized private pool. With a private butler on hand to meet your every desire, the service is fantastic. The clever design means that the villas, all stretching above and behind the reception, all have complete privacy with an unhindered eye line over the cliff and coast below. The bathrooms are large and well equipped, with the bedroom opening out onto the pool.

The combination of both a fine dining and local styled restaurant means quests have a comprehensive dining choice, all of which can be ordered through your butler and brought to your villa. There is a stunning communal infinity pool on the edge of the cliff and a wooden terrace overhanging the cliff with views along the untouched coastline.

The beach is 500 steps down from the hotel and you will be accompanied by a member of staff to look after you. For those looking to sample alternative eating options, Jimbaran is a mere 15 minutes away but the remote, private, incredibly romantic setting with the personal and attentive service mean people rarely make it.
