"Alila" means "surprise" in Sanskrit - a term perfectly suited for the refreshing character of these elegant properties; it's also a word that perfectly conveys the reaction of guests who stay with us.

In support of sustainable tourism, Alila hotels employ EarthCheck operating standards, which encourages the integration of natural, physical and cultural elements within a given environment. To stay at any of Alila's hotels or resorts is to embark upon a journey of learning. Whether recreating the flavors of the local cuisine, enhancing a guest's well-being through ancient healing arts, offering the thrill of local adventure sports, or participating in volun-tourism, you'll find life at Alila an inspiration.
