The Conrad Bali will customize its hotel amenities to suit the personal taste of its guests, reported Thailand’s The Nation daily Wednesday.

The Rock Bar at Ayana Resort and Spa Bali takes the concept of “on the rocks” to a whole new level !

The Rock Bar is literally served straight up on the rocks – 14 meters above the ocean – with the Bali waves crashing against them.

Accessed via an inclinator that traverses the cliff-face, the Rock Bar is a spectacular feat of architecture and engineering.

The Alila Ubud is located near the artistic and cultural center of Ubud on the edge of the Ayung River.

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 pool at Alila Ubud has a global reputation, and no wonder: it’s a watery sliver of infinity that seems to overhang the valley plunging beneath it.

Looking at these amazing Alila Villas Uluwatu in Bali, Indonesia. Designed by Singapore based WOHA and built on 14.4 hectacres, the Alila Villas are a prime example of amazing sustainable architecture.

With Alila Villas Uluwatu, the architects wanted to create more than the usual stereotypical ideas of Bali, creating a design that worked with the dry Balinese Savannah vegetation and gently sloping site, not against it.

These modern contemporary Balinese villas use sustainable wood for construction (old timbre telegraph poles and wood railway sleepers) to replicate the typical dry Balinese Savannah vegetation.

Notable design features include the flat roofs, laid with batu chandi (local volcanic rock). This porous Javanese rock (a product of Mt Merapi’s eruptions) serves a threefold purpose: insulation; as a means of blending in with the local landscape; and for water absorption to support plant life.

Even the jigsaw-like exteriors of the pavilion serve more than an aesthetic purpose. The slats of these exteriors are made from a mixture of recycled wood and bronze, allowing for breeze to circulate yet maintaining privacy in partially shielding its occupants away from prying eyes.

The villas are perched on limestone cliffs with a stunning view over the Indian Ocean, large windows that extend into the natural open spaces. This green resort opens its doors to the public in 2009. Via Contemporist
