Perched on the dramatic cliffs of Bali’s southern coast, Alila Villas Uluwatu unveils Festive, a season-long celebration of connection, reflection, and coastal tranquillity from 20 December 2025 to 1 January 2026. This year’s program invites guests to embrace the holidays through a thoughtful journey that blends movement, creativity, cultural expression, and elevated culinary experiences, all set against sweeping ocean horizons. “Festive is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeper, and rediscover the graceful pace of life,” shares Vincent Durier, General Manager, capturing the essence of the resort’s year-end spirit.
Each morning begins with restorative rituals at the iconic Cliff Edge Cabana, where Mat Pilates, Vinyasa, Hatha, and Aerial Yoga welcome the sunrise with mindful intention. For those seeking invigorating encounters with nature, guided jogging routes and the dramatic 663 Steps Down to the Beach offer grounding moments shaped by Bali’s coastal landscape. As the day unfolds, guests are invited into a tapestry of creative and cultural encounters, from Air-Dry Clay handbuilding and Sustainable Macramé to Kite Painting, Cookie Atelier, Mask Making, and Mandala Art on Tote Bags. The rhythm of the island deepens in the evenings through Traditional Keroncong Nights and the spirited Pasar Malam with Kecak, each performance weaving sound, movement, and storytelling into an immersive cultural journey.
Culinary rituals form the heart of the festive experience, presenting guests with refined dining moments that celebrate the season’s flavours. Weekly Brisa Brunches, Afternoon Tea Rituals, and “Sip & Bites” at the Sunset Cabana Bar invite lingering conversations and gentle pauses throughout the day. As night falls, the resort transforms into an elegant dining destination with signature events such as the Christmas Eve Dinner, Exclusive Local Lobster Dinner, Drappier Champagne Dinner, and a dazzling New Year’s Eve Dinner with Countdown Party. For those craving a more relaxed yet equally memorable evening, the Seafood Market Dinner offers the pleasure of selecting from the day’s freshest catch, prepared to order and enjoyed beneath the stars.
Balancing celebration with serenity, the Cliff Edge Spa Experience provides moments of profound renewal in cliff-front cabanas suspended above the Indian Ocean. Meditation interludes woven throughout mornings and evenings further encourage guests to find stillness, presence, and quiet reflection amid the holiday season. Wellness, kids’, and creative programs are thoughtfully curated for in-house guests, with advance bookings recommended to ensure personalised attention, while select wellness sessions may also welcome outside visitors by reservation.
To elevate each guest’s experience, festive dining events will replace à la carte menus throughout the season, with limited seating available for all signature evenings. Early reservations are strongly encouraged to secure preferred dates and times. In harmony with Alila’s commitment to sustainability and freshness, program schedules may adapt to Bali’s tropical climate or ingredient availability, ensuring every moment resonates with authenticity and care.
At Alila Villas Uluwatu, the festive season becomes more than a celebration, it transforms into a journey of mindful indulgence, soulful encounters, and unforgettable moments at the edge of paradise.
