Terrace tree villas
by Alila Hotels and Resorts
From their lofty hillside perch on the sunrise side of the resort, the 120 sqm Terrace Tree Villas invite you to unwind in the lap of nature high above the valley. Enjoy serenity and relaxation out on the spacious wood-decked terrace, surrounded by soothing views of lush plantations and rice paddies on the banks of the valley. Delight in glimpses of Ubud wildlife.
Located high above the Ayung River, Alila Ubud hotel has been laid out as a Balinese hillside village complete with its own community centre and pedestrian lanes. The resort’s rooms and villas stand above a ravine on stilts like tree houses and are set into the banks of the river valley. The world-renowned architectural firm Kerry Hill Architects has made use of traditional Balinese design, but transforming it into modern geometry in the exotic creation of the Ubud villa hotel. Smooth plaster walls and concrete meet thatched roofs; terrazzo tiles meet gravel or crushed rock; wood meets glass, making for one of the most uniquely designed boutique hotels Ubud has seen.

Moonlight Remedies
Spa Alila at Alila Ubud puts a whole new spin on natural spa treatments, now offering Moonlight Remedies in a wonderful outdoor setting, drawing on the energy of the moon in its new and full phases and the rhythms of nature. Moonlight Remedies are only available during the new and full moon every 1st and 15th day of the lunar month.
Spa-loving guests can choose to be pampered within the sanctuary of Spa Alila’s indoor spa suites, or outside amid the lush green surroundings of the resort’s Sculpture Garden on the banks of the magical Ayung River.The remedy evokes complete mind and body relaxation as you are surrounded by nature’s lushness, breathing in the fresh air and lured by the sound of bird calls. During the period of a new moon or full moon when the moon’s energy is believed to be at its strongest, the massage treatments are conducted outdoors in a custom spa tent, open to nature yet completely private, harnessing good lunar energy to promote healing and spiritual growth.
The Moonlight Remedies treat you to a complete spa ritual that begins with the Spa Concierge personally escorting you from your room to the garden and into the caring hands of your personal Spa Alila therapist. In the spirit of Balinese tradition, treatment begins with a prayer that is meant to relieve stress, calm fears and reduce anxiety, instilling a sense of well-being both physically and mentally. As you close your eyes and open your senses to nature’s serenity, your therapist’s healing hands draw upon the lunar energy to relax and rejuvenate you. Each session ends with the therapist harmonising the body through methods rooted in the spiritual traditions of Reiki.
Currently, four destination-inspired massage therapies are offered by moonlight: Balinese Massage, an ancient therapy that combines gentle stretching, long therapeutic strokes and pressure techniques to alleviate stress and tension; Alila Recovery Signature Massage, which combines Balinese long soothing strokes, Swedish deep tissue massage techniques and acupressure for a complete body re-awakening; Reflexology, which improves the flow of energy around the body through pressure applied to specific points on the feet and hands; and Indian Head Massage, dating back nearly 400 years, which reduces stress and boosts vitality through the stimulation of pressure points on the head, neck, shoulders and face.
