Alila Seminyak and Studios

This sleek beachfront hotel sits at the hip heart of stylish Seminyak.

With its minimalist modern design of dark wood, floor-to-ceiling windows and 'living' walls, this large luxury hotel is perfect for couples and honeymooners who want to be at the centre of Bali’s beach scene. Its popular neighbour is the Potato Head Beach Club, where the quirky cinematic design and younger vibe make it the place for going out in Seminyak.

The hotel is eco-friendly; sensitively designed from local materials, with energy-efficient systems and innovative green spaces, and there’s a traditional temple in the grounds. Five infinity pools include one adults-only, a family pool and even an ultra-cool party pool for private hire. For wellbeing, Spa Alila offers bespoke treatments using fresh local ingredients and there are complimentary morning yoga classes. The hotel's on-site restaurant, SeaSalt, offers a selection of fresh seafood with a Japanese twist. There’s also a coffee shop and a popular beach bar with chilled-out music and DJs, and fuss-free room service comes served in a recyclable backpack with bamboo cutlery; all part of the eco ethos.

Rooms are divided between the main resort and a separate studio area. Studios and suites are light and airy with clean lines.
