Alila Villas Uluwatu Bali

Roxuai @ Alila Villas Uluwatu Bali

The new generation of luxury resorts in Bali are ultra-exclusive and very design-oriented. One of the prime examples is Alila Uluwatu. Heralded as the latest Sustainable Luxury Resort in Bali, Alila Uluwatu was built using mostly local materials to reduce its carbon footprint and its impact on the local environment. Even the landscaping was done using mostly local native plants.

Staking a stylish claim on Bali’s rugged Bukit Peninsula, Alila Villas Uluwatu is a cool, contemporary cliff-hanger of a resort which delivers dramatic eco-friendly design in a jaw-dropping setting. Panoramic views over the Indian Ocean complement architecturally striking pool villas, each with serene, minimalist interiors, seductive outdoor living spaces and personal butlers on tap. Stir in a top spa, fine dining and legendary surfing, and it's a delicious cocktail.

The Architects

The architects are WOHA from Singapore. Borrowing heavily from Carlo Scarpa, they have created a design that is simple in planning, yet very rich and stylish in details. The basic forms are rectilinear, augmented by careful detailing to give depth to the structures. Courtyards, sun-screens and gazebos are designed to catch the light and provide visual interest, besides serving as tranquil hideaways for the guests.

As with many Bali high-end resorts, the location is purposely remote and difficult to find. This small road seemed to go on forever before you reach the resort.

The main entrance porch - typically understated, except that here you have a whole coterie of hotel staff to greet you upon arrival.

The Alila Uluwatu is a resort which once you arrive, you don’t want to leave. The rates start at around USD 650 per night, so it is not cheap to enjoy such luxury - but it is definitely worth the money for the location, spectacular design, exclusivity and service. I would definitely stay here if I could afford it !

Here they have also added some fun/ comedy in the show by depicting Hanuman as monkey with monkey like behaviour. Here he mixes with the crowd, scratches his hair, body , mixes with the crowd and even attempts to clear the lice from their hair!! But in India, Hanuman is considered as God and worshiped in entire East & North India in Temples. No one makes fun of him as he is a highly revered God himself, who has been given the blessing of immortality ( Amaratwa) by his mother Anjani. He is son of God Pawan and is a bachelor. In among all school of wrestling in India Hanuman is worshiped as he is considered Mahaveera ( The most powerful).

Uluwatu Temple is situated at an altitude of 1997 meters (6551.8 feet) above sea level. It is also a sea temple. In front of the temple there is a small forest called kekeran base, serves as a support of the sanctity of the temple. Each of the seven Balinese sea temples are said to be visible from the next, forming a ‘chain’ around the coast of Bali. Many of the most important sea temples are along the south-west coast of the island.

Bali, the famed Island of the Gods, with landscapes of lush rice terraces, volcanic hillsides, mountains, rugged cliffs, sandy beaches and wonderful waves for surfing. That is what people might think of for a vacation to Bali. But even from this sweet infinity pool at the Boutique Hotel Ubud Hanging Gardens, there is a temple in the background. In fact, after looking around a bit, there is little wonder why Bali is also called the “island of a thousand temples.

I spent quite some time at Alila Uluwatu and almost missed the sunset at Pura Luhur Uluwatu. Luckily I made it there in the nick of time. The sunset there is breathtaking as always.

The parking area outside the temple compound is usually full with cars and tourist vans. There is a short walk to the temple through a footpath. Before going through the gate, don't forget to pay the small entrance charge and put on a sarong which is mandatory for men, or ladies wearing short pants. There is no lighting along the footpath, so it can get a bit dark. Bring a torch if you can.

Pura Luhur Uluwatu is located at one of the most spectacular locations in Bali. This is where you come to watch the famous Bali sunset over the Indian Ocean, and it is quite a sight to behold. Somehow the old temple architects have found a way to harmonize their structures with nature, with the man-made structures serving to enhance the view rather then detract from the natural beauty. This is the lesson that architects often learn from Bali - that it is possible to work with nature and achieve more rather then to compete with it.

The spectacular coastline at Uluwatu. I particularly love the colour of the sea here.

The Temple itself is very old - it is one of the oldest in Bali. The original temple structure - built of coral stone, is in a ruinous state, which adds to the mystery of the place. Like all the temples in Bali, this is still a fully functioning temple. Devotees come to worship and make offerings here on special occasions, like during the night of my visit. The priest wasn't too happy with my phototaking - but the rest of the devotees didn't mind so much.

Like many other temple areas in Bali, there are lots of monkeys around. Monkeys are considered sacred in Bali, and are featured frequently in Hindu legends. You are advised not to play with, or feed the monkeys. They can be a bit aggressive, so hold on to you handbags, hats and sunglasses or they may grab them.

Pura Luhur Uluwatu is one of the must-visit places in Bali, and it is easy to see why. This is what Bali is about.
