Alila Villas Uluwatu

Bali, Indonesia

A well-dressed haven to modern minimalism, the property salutes the sea from a plum spot at Uluwatu, on Bali’s southern stretch. Alila Villas Uluwatu is an ocean retreat that’s as much about awe-inspiring architecture as it is the scope for awe-inspiring adventures. Poised on the Bukit Peninsula, one of the Island of the Gods’ highest points, the space finds the sweet spot between respect for local craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. The result is an intoxicating scene integrated seamlessly into the landscape. Singaporean firm WOHA is behind the sustainable framework, which renders native lava rock, bamboo and wood into a clean-lined, flowing design that includes a cantilevered bar serving craft libations that juts over the abyss. Delivering seclusion and tranquillity in spades, slick villas – think light-filled and breezy with muted colourways and contemporary Balinese accents – complete with pools and cabanas are perfect for drinking in views of the swelling Indian Ocean that frames the scene in an area known for its quality surf. Relaxed yet efficient service is part of Alila’s bedrock. Alongside a fine Mediterranean restaurant, all-day eatery Warung honours local cuisine, while activities offered hone in on Balinese culture.
