Welcome to Alaya Resort.
Indonesian Culture is the theme at Alaya Resort Ubud.
At Alaya Resort, they are proud of their Indonesian/Balinese heritage, which shows throughout the Resort’s design. You’ll notice a solid Indonesian flavour everywhere, whether in your hotel room with a lovely interior touch, the staff in their thoughtfully designed outfits, or the restaurants by the lush green rice fields. A rich piece of Indonesian Culture and lifestyle surrounds you.
If you are in Indonesia, then you should feel like you are in Indonesia. It may seem odd to talk of a resort’s proud Indonesian heritage within its own country, as it’s not always the case in a typical Balinese resort that goes the Western way. That was the point of difference the owners wanted to make when designing the Alaya resort, which was completed in 2013.

Alaya Resort in Bali is the perfect destination for any food enthusiast. It showcases two exceptional restaurants, The Petani and Manisan Restaurants, to cater to all types of palettes. Despite their different approach, both restaurants serve delicious dishes, sure to tantalize your taste buds!
While The Petani serves traditional Balinese cuisine with a twist, Manisan introduces you to the region’s conventional flavours through tantalizing fusion plates. Whether it’s classic dishes or something new, Alaya’s pride and passion for quality will make your dining experience truly one of a kind.
Superb food of Alaya.

With Petani restaurant right by the lobby, Alaya serves a varied menu of International and Indonesian food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The lively atmosphere is perfect for socialising with friends, relaxing over drinks and enjoying Balinese live music available during dinner hours at Petani.
Alaya ensures quality service for its guests during all three meals. It has exceptional cooking at all times – from traditional delicacies from that far corner of the world to traditional favourites from around the globe!

Breakfast at Alaya is made differently than other resorts, as it only offers A-La-Carte. No buffet. I loved the concept. Everything comes to your table fresh, from the fruit to your Western or Indonesian breakfast. It’s a great way to start your day.
Curry prawn crepes are not your typical breakfast, but they’ll do me fine.
Luxury Rooms with gorgeous views
One hundred five rooms make up the Alaya Resort; most of the time, the Resort is at 100% occupancy. Alaya has a good reputation in Ubud, and bookings in advance are recommended.
Perhaps the Resort’s strong reputation comes from the cheerful staff, the lush scenery, or the two delicious restaurants that await you at the Resort. However, another part of that equation is due to their stylish rooms, which come with that natural hint of Indonesian.

– Deluxe Rooms – Stylish, elegant and all the comfort levels you would expect from any top-class Resort. The spacious Deluxe room has a modern bathroom design with a quality interior design, a comfortable Kings size bed and a magnificent balcony view.

It has all that the deluxe and Alaya rooms offer and much more, including a large bathtub that will get couples sipping champagne in a romantic setting, and it’s the ultimate honeymoon alert for all you newlyweds out there.

A Dala Spa to remember
You will feel at home, you will feel relaxed, and you will feel refreshed at the Dala Spa. Be prepared to be pampered and given a Balinese blessing before the treatment of your choice begins. Close your eyes, breathe and let the professional masseuse take care of you for the duration of your massage.
The Dala Spa offers a range of treatments with plenty of great packages available to suit your personal needs. I strongly recommend the Sandalwood Healing Massage; it’s all in the name as the Sandalwood is rolled all over the body, releasing any aches and Pains. Perfect if you prefer a massage on the solid side.
