Alila Manggis is situated within the regency of Karangasem, close to the village of Candi Dasa, and provides the perfect base from which to explore unspoiled east Bali. This area of the island is renowned for its spectacular beauty, where the steep rise from coast to mountain creates magical scenery. Here the local people follow a traditional lifestyle, whether it is cultivating rice, farming, fishing, weaving baskets and the famous double ikat textiles or salt making.

The 53 rooms and two corner suites of Alila Manggis are housed in traditional two-storey thatched Balinese pavilions reminiscent of the village wantilan or meeting hall.

The Superior Rooms, located on the lower floor of each block, boast a private terrace while the Deluxe Rooms on the upper level have a balcony with day bed. All rooms are designed to maximise the views across the coconut grove, the swimming pool and the sea.

The two spacious Suites are situated on the upper level of the building closest to the beach. Large balconies surround the suites suitable for use as an outdoor dining area or sundeck. The spacious rooms include a living and dining area. All interiors are designed with fabrics and finishings to reflect the local environment.

Enjoy blissful bedscapes featuring down comforters and soft high thread count bed sheets, a pile of plump pillows and a new fresh, white look, inspired by the niche brand 'Ploh' – hand-finished, distinctive bedlinen that's all about understated luxury.
