5* Alila Villas Uluwatu - Bali

100 metres above the Indian Ocean, Alila Villas Uluwatu is a seriously stylish and secluded wellness retreat set on an incredible clifftop plateau. Cutting-edge in design, this luxurious eco-resort was the first in Indonesia to receive the highest level of Green Globe certification for Environmentally Sustainable Design. A stay here isn’t just about the picture-perfect ocean views; in the resort you’ll find a stunning 50-metre cliff-edge infinity pool, plus the renowned Spa Alila and a spectacular overhanging cliff-side cabana where you can enjoy the unique experience of aerial yoga.

The food choices are excellent with three on-site restaurants. The panoramic ocean views at CIRE serve as a spectacular dinner backdrop – here you can enjoy gourmet comfort food ranging from classic Asian specialities to favourite international dishes. In a tranquil poolside setting, The Warung is the sophisticated but casual restaurant serving traditional Indonesian cuisine. Quila is the newest addition to the dining portfolio, and possibly the most exciting. Described as a ‘gastronomic journey’, you’ll need to embrace your sense of adventure when trying the daily-changing dinner menu. An exclusive experience limited to ten guests a night, it’s worth booking in advance.

All of the villas here are incredibly luxurious. There’s the indulgence of a dedicated butler, plus a stunning outdoor area furnished with relaxation cabanas, an outdoor shower and a beautiful private pool. While the One-Bedroom Pool Villas are the perfect setting for a romantic retreat, the Two-Bedroom Pool Villas are a great choice for families with older children. Three-Bedroom Pool Villas are ideal for larger groups, and while most are situated on the hillside, guests can be upgraded to an exclusive cliff-edge setting if desired.
