Overview

Alila Manggis features contemporary architecture in harmony with the natural surrounding of Bali's East coast, a tranquil meeting point between the sea and Mount Agung, Bali's sacred mountain. A contemporary interpretation of traditional Balinese architecture is artfully combined with modern amenities to create a relaxed environment in harmony with its natural surroundings.

Location

Alila Manggis is situated within the regency of Karangasem, close to the village of Candi Dasa, and provides the perfect base from which to explore unspoiled East Bali. This area of the island is renowned for its spectacular beauty, where the steep rise from coast to mountain creates magical scenery. Various walking tours are available, taking in sights like Mount Agung, home to Bali’s mother temple at Besakih, and the spectacular terraced hillsides.

Accommodation

The 54 rooms and two corner suites of Alila Manggis are housed in traditional two-storey thatched Balinese pavilions reminiscent of the village wantilan or meeting hall. All rooms and suites face the ocean with clear views across the straits to Nusa Penida. The Superior Rooms, located on the lower floor of each block, boast a private terrace while the Deluxe Rooms on the upper level have a balcony with day bed. All rooms are designed to maximize the views across the coconut grove, the swimming pool and the sea.

Design

Alila Manggis combines contemporary features with traditional Balinese design to form an exemplary symbiosis. This resort demonstrates creative function, elegant luxury and pure well-being. World-renowned architectural firm Kerry Hill’s interplay of light, water, plants and geometry result in details which never fail to excite the eye. Alila Manggis' swimming pool is a central feature of the resort and is designed as an unusual inverted pyramid. This creates shallow waters around the edges and deep water in the middle. Set in landscaped gardens under swaying coconut palms, it provides the perfect place to lay back and enjoy the resort's peaceful, sunny environment.
