Alila Manggis

The swimming pool is a central feature of the resort and features an unusual design - that of an inverted pyramid. This creates shallow waters around the edges and deeper water in the middle. Set in landscaped gardens under swaying coconut palms, the pool provides the perfect place to lay back and enjoy the resort's peaceful, sunny environment.

Two to six-hour treks are available at Alila Manggis in the company of knowledgeable local hotel guides. Trips include a trek to Gumang Hill for stunning views of verdant rice terraces and Mount Agung; Kastala to Tenganan, a trek off the beaten track through rice terraces and small farms to the Bali Aga village of Tenganan, famous for its double ikat weaving and unique basket-making, and the Mount Agung trek for the truly adventurous, a four-hour climb reaching the top in time for sunrise.
