Nearby Ubud, on some hills above the valley of the Ayung River, I discovered one of the most spectacular hotels I’ve ever been too, the colored recommendation that I tell about with delight and share with all my heart: Alila Ubud Hotel.

The scenery near here and the architecture of the place, the feeling of intimacy you live are perfect. Alila is a boutique hotel  which I fell in love with from the beginning and here is the colored list of reasons why I recommend it to you:

Alila Hotel " Colored List":

• The rooms and  the villas are arranged in such a way that they make a small Balinese village, watching over the river and the volcanoes
• If you feel like being alone, close to nature, or drawing your  inspiration from something special, or simply enjoying a so-called „therapy" with Balinese flora and fauna, Alila Hotel is the one!
• The minimalist design is wonderful because they integrated many details like wood, glass, stone, reed, with concrete and plastered walls, to accomplish a perfect geometry
• The library, the Indonesian modern art gallery, the spa, the pool, but also the trips you can  go on, with the assistance of the hotel concierge-to the rice fields, on the terraces of Tegalalang or at the springs of Tampaksiring, to the Batur Lake or to see the white egrets in Petulu-all of them are waiting to delight you
  
  

• Another delight, this time regarding  the taste papilla, you’ll enjoy at the restaurants in the area, Plantation Restaurantand Cabana Lounge, with authentic Balinese food, you’ll savor in a setting with pools, coconut-trees and green grass. Once a week they organize here a 100% Balinese dinner, Spice Market, and the dishes are super tasty
  
  

• If you are lucky enough, you can attend a Legong dance show, performed by Balinese little girls, under the guidance of a teacher
