Unlike the gleaming white sandy beaches that most of Bali's resorts rest upon, Alila Soori sits in a deserted black sand landscape in a less-trodden part of the island. What the hotel lacks in stereotypical sunbathing and swimming spots, it rewards with panoramic Indian Ocean views and an escape from the trappings of tourism that litter Bali's more popular beaches.
Designed by SIngapore-based SCDA Architects, the resort is made up of a network of pool villas with beach, ocean or rice field views, as well as high reaching walls that conceal each villa from its neighbours. Opt for an Ocean Pool Villa for infinity pool indulgence and engage in the signature Alila spa massage at sunset, before trying out the heated outdoor shower in the villa's inner courtyard.
