Alila Ubud Bali in Bali, Indonesia is located in the traditional Balinese hill village of Payangan and on the banks of the Ayung River, and is just five kilometers from Bali's artistic centre of Ubud. The resort has been designed in traditional Balinese architecture, has secluded courtyards, spacious terraces and private gardens that combine to create a feeling of intimacy. The 56 rooms are housed in 14 two-storey blocks designed to resemble a Balinese village. All rooms have panoramic views of the Ayung River and surrounding volcanoes.

In 2010 Alila Manggis engaged in many activities within the property to become more responsible in behaviour towards the environment and its sustainability: from water saving through better supervision, and garbage segregation in-house rather than through a third party, to composting green waste and isolating wood for firewood for the benefit of the traditional villagers who may still prefer to use it. Moreover, a programme has been developed to encourage the habitants of Buitan to 'invest' their time and effort in this bank to create a litter-free future. Plastic waste being disposed at random from households and the communities in general is a serious threat in Bali, one that can be countered only through interactive sessions of training and guidance along with the promise to manage their collected waste systematically and long term. It aims to motivate the community through learning and rewards for the little things that they may do to make a difference.
