At Alila Ubud, Nyepi unfolds gently, inviting a genuine opportunity to pause, reset, and welcome the Balinese New Year in complete stillness.
As Bali’s Day of Silence (Nyepi) approaches, Alila Ubud offers a secluded hillside retreat framed by dense jungle canopy. Perched above the sacred Ayung River, the resort invites guests to step away from everyday pace and experience the island’s most contemplative moment in a setting designed for calm, reflection, and deep stillness.
Blending contemporary lines with traditional Balinese architecture, Alila Ubud unfolds through quiet courtyards and layered gardens overlooking the valley below. During Nyepi, when the island observes minimal activity to mark the Balinese New Year, this natural setting becomes especially meaningful. While movement and noise takes a pause all over the island, guests are encouraged to unplug and settle into simple rhythms, whether that’s resting in nature or embracing the uninterrupted quiet for a day of profound spirituality.
The resort’s traditional Balinese village-style accommodations aren’t mere aesthetics; it’s an invitation for stillness. For those observing Nyepi, the space is positioned for seclusion amidst lush greenery, offering 56 rooms and 18 private villas that also functions as a sanctuary for true immersion. Lower-floor rooms are open to individual garden terraces, while upper levels offer spacious balconies overlooking the jungle. The expansive Two Bedroom Villa, standing as the resort’s largest, spans around 240sqm, featuring a private pool, outdoor soaking tubs, and a separate dining space.
In addition to the tranquility of the space, wellness is central to the experience at Spa Alila, providing guests with a variety of massage options, along with meditation and personalised regiments grounded in both traditional healing and modern insight. Every moment becomes a journey toward balance as tailored programmes focus on natural nourishment, encouraging an evening of renewal and restoration at a measured pace.
