Bali, Indonesia[view map]
- Style
- Traditional thatched tranquillity
- Setting
- Soothing seas, soaring peaks
Sumptuous yet unassuming, this ocean-fronted retreat lies in the shade of Mount Agung, held up as sacred by Balians, though you’ll be glad to hear that it does get plenty of sun. Surrounded by opulent coconut groves, Alila Manggis boasts an award-winning cookery school, a beautiful natural spa and some wonderful snorkelling opportunities along the unspoilt East Bali coast.
