Inside the Alila Uluwatu: Bali’s Most Luxurious Resort

The Alila Villas Uluwatu, is Bali’s most luxurious resort. This is part 8 of our Bali’s best hotels & resorts series. Our Bali 10 best hotels had to be cut down to 8 because we tried some others that were disappointing - we only recommend what we've tried and love. The architecture, designed by the legendary WOHA, is a work of art, blending the best of modern luxury with the natural beauty of Bali.

Our ultimate resort and hotel guide will take you inside the best hotels in Bali. We visited 30 hotels and stayed at 10 to find the 8 best; how can you make an honest recommendation if you don't try a hotel first. We'll share our candid and uncensored opinions so that you can see if this hotel is the right place for you.

The 65 palatial suites have great views of the Indian Ocean from your private garden complete with your own pool, palapa and dining table.
In terms of the dining options here, first up, we have Cire, serving up contemporary Indonesian cuisine plus western dishes. Then there’s The Warung, where you can try authentic Balinese + Indo cuisine in a laid-back atmosphere. This restaurant has an open kitchen and a wood-fired oven, giving you a front-row seat to the cooking - but I’d go for the patio tables and be one with nature.
If you're looking for some serious R&R, this place has got you covered with a world-class spa and maybe the most beautiful infinity pool ever. Note there’s no beach here, but you could go to some close by beaches in Uluwatu.

Our goal is to save you time by finding the best hotels and experiences for you, and eliminate the stress of paying for something before you understand if it’s right for you. We work with total editorial independence. That means nothing appears in our videos as a recommendation unless we’ve tried it and loved it. These are the hotels and activities we choose for ourselves and recommend to our family and friends.

We strive to be the most trusted, the most transparent, boutique hotel recommendation service…. ever. If you choose to use our link to book a hotel, you are supporting our work. You can go around us – it won’t save you any money. This hotel commission fee supports us as we travel the world looking for the best places, small booking commissions are how we cover most of our expenses.

Totally agree. There is a huge misconception that it's Bali is a beach destination. The views are amazing but not a a lot of swimmable beaches without plastic in the water and trash on the shore. I had no idea. We went snorkeling at the Blue Lagoon and it was gorgeous and equally sad to see plastic bags floating in the water.😭 Did you stay at Desa Hay?

I've stayed at the Four Seasons in Jimbram and I disagree... the views of the airport are a deal killer for me... I've also stayed at the Amankila... what a disappointment... I don't understand how you can say the Aman is better when you havent stayed there.... We are all entitled to our own opinions.... but I think a bit more civility would be better for us all.

It is not the most luxurious resort, not by a mile.There are at least 10 more luxurious resorts in Bali such as Amans, 4S, Jumeirah, six senses. If you want to grow audience, get knowledgeable of the destination and avoid exaggerations.
