Two Alila houses are in the Stanza collection; both are four-star addresses, labeled as such. They stand on two coasts of the Pacific: Alila Villas Uluwatu, on the cliffs of Bali's Bukit peninsula, with pool villas of lava rock and recycled wood, the cantilevered cabana on the cliff edge over the Indian Ocean and Spa Alila; and Alila Ventana Big Sur, the original luxury resort of Big Sur, founded in 1975 and hidden in the redwoods a thousand feet above the ocean, with fireplaces and hot tubs in the suites, a Japanese bathhouse, two pools and an all-inclusive table. Both are four-star addresses, labeled as such; Ventana holds Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection.

Good to know
Where does Stanza list Alila hotels?
In two destinations. Alila Villas Uluwatu stands on the cliffs of Uluwatu, on the Bukit peninsula of Bali, fifteen minutes from Uluwatu Temple and forty from the airport at Denpasar. Alila Ventana Big Sur stands on Highway 1 in Big Sur, about forty minutes south of Carmel-by-the-Sea; it appears on the Carmel, Pebble Beach & Big Sur page. Each destination page lists every hotel we keep there, five-star first.
What distinguishes the Alila houses in the collection?
Landscape first: each house is built into its site rather than on top of it — lava rock and recycled wood on the Uluwatu cliffs, low wooden buildings hidden among the redwoods in Big Sur — and each carries Spa Alila. Both were admitted on their own merits, one hotel at a time, and both are written as four-star addresses; Ventana holds Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection.
When is the best time to stay at an Alila house?
Bali is at its best in the dry season, from April to October, with the surf of Uluwatu strongest in the middle of it. Big Sur is clearest from September to November, foggy on the coast from June to August, and winter storms can close stretches of Highway 1. Each destination page carries its own season note, and the concierge can advise on dates.
How do I reserve an Alila house through Stanza?
Search your dates on the hotel's page to see reference rates, then send the concierge a request. The concierge confirms exact rates and availability with you before anything is booked, and any payment and its timing are set out before you confirm.
