Alila means "Surprise" in Sanskrit, which suitably describes the refreshing character of our properties and impressions of our guests when they stay with us.

To stay at any of Alila's hotels and resorts is to embark on an authentic destination experience. Be it in recreating the flavours of the local cuisine, enhancing your well-being through ancient healing arts or the thrill of adventure sports... Indulge in the joy of discovery at Alila.

Tailor-made 'journeys' and 'Destination Experiences' offer guests a unique opportunity to discover and interact with a place and its people. Through customised activities, which are designed to integrate indigenous nature, traditional culture and the local community, guests gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of what defines the destination, while pursuing their personal interests.

We are dedicated to being responsible members of our host communities and treading lightly on our environment. Many of our resorts are designed and built in accordance with strict standards from Earth Check, the world's leading programme to assess environmental sustainability.

With the implementation of the Zero Waste to Landfill policy, Alila Resorts in Bali now have a zero contribution to the waste situation in the island. The next step will be to replicate the system to the rest of the Alila properties.

We strive to create hotels that are contemporary interpretations of its destination by incorporating traditional materials and cultural artifacts in the design concept.

Sustainability of the natural and cultural environment is key to the design of our hotels. From conceptualisation and design through to construction and operations, we aim to minimise our impact on the natural surroundings and the local community, while stretching the bounds of contemporary aesthetic.
