It is a sophisticated and contemporary luxury resort, of private villas - each with their own pool - and a great range of amenities. It's popular with honeymooners, of course, but also families, owing in part to the impeccable staff and the range of excursions/activities they can organise.

The facilities

The restaurant lies on two levels, and serves delicious Indonesian cuisine with a few Western favourites. There's a chic lounge area, complete with balcony beds and a cocktail bar. Spa Alila is first-rate, a secluded sanctuary located below the reflective pond at reception level, offering a range of traditional treatments and massages.

The rooms

Each of Alila Villas Soori's private villas share the same luxe-contemporary style as its communal areas. All come with flat screen televisions, DVD players, minibars, safes, nightly turn-down and of course a generous private pool area.Wifi internet is complimentary.
