Alila announces next three sites
Asian boutique hotelier, Alila Hotels & Resorts, has announced three new properties to its lifestyle collection next year, marking the company’s entry into the Middle East.
Alila Jabal Akhdar in Oman will provide access to one of Oman’s most spectacular and untapped areas, overlooking a dramatic gorge, with views of the Al Hajar mountains.
The 78-bed resort will provide nature lovers with an escape from the desert heat, with a cliff-side restaurant, pool, Spa Alila, and a fitness centre.
A second site, Alila Seminyak, opens on a beach in Bali late next year. Designed as a secret garden, it will feature 240 chic, contemporary rooms and suites.
A heritage fortress in India’s Jaipur district is being transformed into the Alila Fort Bishangarh. This is the group’s third Indian property and features stunning views over the Aravalli mountain range. The 59-suite property offers a Spa Alila, two restaurants, a pool and fitness centre.
Alila Hotels & Resorts has a strong pipeline of developments: 21 in Malaysia, China, India, Indonesia and Indochina, with seven due in the next two years.
As a brand, Alila aims to create different experiences which are authentic and sympathetic to the destination. For example, the Oman resort will use locally sourced materials, and as the region is famous for pomegranates, these will feature in the spa signature treatments. All properties adhere to strict EarthCheck standards.
