What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
They’ve got a knack for combining stylish modern architecture and clever, immersive landscaping to create the sort of sequestered seclusion…
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Jalan Petitenget's lively cluster of beach clubs, art galleries, and fashion boutiques sits just a short walk down the sand.
The rooms
Slatted wooden screens and floor to ceiling glass open onto private balconies styled with minimalist wood and stone.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Daybeds line the beachfront infinity pool, looking straight out over Petitenget Beach and the surf.
The spa and yoga
Spa Alila has stone Vichy shower suites for bodywork, and morning yoga classes run daily.
Restaurant
Seasalt
Wild-caught seafood seasoned with Kusamba sea salt is served on an open-air timber deck facing the ocean.
Its low-key, albeit high-luxe design—think clean lines, minimalist furniture, and a buzzy rooftop watering hole—helps it to fit right in with its surroundings.
How it began

Preserved Balinese temple grounds sit at the heart of the resort, surrounded by living green walls and shaded courtyards.
