Sustainability
At Alila Ubud, we take pride in minimizing our environmental impact, and engaging with local communities to create real and lasting economic opportunity.
Traditional Balinese Design
Inspired by traditional Balinese design, Alila Ubud’s design seamlessly weaves contemporary style with Balinese elements, creating a harmonious retreat that echoes the spirit of the island.
At Alila Ubud, every space is thoughtfully crafted from natural materials, reflecting the island’s timeless spirit. Coconut pillars frame the Plantation Restaurant, alang-alang thatched roofs shelter each room and facility, and stones from the Ayung River blend effortlessly into the landscape—a sanctuary inspired by Bali’s rich heritage.
Under the Forest Canopy
Nestled beneath the rainforest canopy, Alila Ubud is deeply committed to preserving the natural landscape, ensuring that local flora and fauna thrive undisturbed, in harmony with their surroundings.
Built with profound respect for its natural surroundings, Alila Ubud preserves native trees and habitats, creating a sanctuary where local wildlife—including monkeys, squirrels, and a rich variety of bird species—flourish freely. This thoughtful design invites guests to experience the vibrant life of Bali’s ecosystem in its purest form, untouched and thriving.

A Perfect Collaboration
Collaboration with Local Communities and Partners for Fresh, Healthy Cuisine
Through close partnerships with our local community, Alila Ubud offers guests an immersive taste of Bali’s rich culture and flavors. Local performers bring the island’s vibrant heritage to life during our dinner events. Collaborations with nearby farmers provide freshly harvested rice straight to our kitchens, while the daily bounty of Payangan Market supplies fresh ingredients, ensuring an authentic farm-to-table experience. Our organic gardens and nearby farms deliver free-range eggs and poultries, bringing the finest of Bali’s offerings to each meal and deepening our connection to the land and its people.
Zero Waste Initiatives
Alila Ubud’s Commitment to Zero Waste to Landfill
Through thoughtful partnerships and sustainable practices, Alila Ubud proudly achieves zero waste to landfill. We’ve eliminated single-use plastics from guest rooms, introduced zero-waste cocktails, and transform organic waste into compost for our gardens. Food scraps support local pig farms, while glass bottles are upcycled into drinking glasses. Candles are repurposed, paper waste is recycled by the local community, and even slippers are renewed. Each initiative reflects our deep commitment to preserving Bali’s natural beauty and fostering a sustainable future.
