Alila Manggis
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 superb snorkelling along the unspoilt East Bali coast.

A very nice place, with lovely rooms. The food was great. Also worth a mention are the stunning black sand beaches.
