A few resort-like facilities or yoga classes do not a “resort” make. Instead, the secluded Alila Manggis East Bali, filled with its natural beauty, fits the definition of a true resort stay.

Alila Hotels & Resorts will expand into Oman in late 2014 with the opening of Alila Jabal Akhdar in the mountainous Jabal Akhdar region of Oman.

Alila Hotels & Resorts, the boutique resort company with properties in Bali and India, plans to launch its own luxury wooden sail boat, the Alila Purnama.
