We recently stayed at Alila Manggis, part of the Hyatt Hotel family and it was truly lovely.
To be transparent, I am trying to build up our travel portfolio and therefore am getting as many posts up as I can. One of our major goals is to thoroughly explore Bali and I am hoping to do that with the help of some travel partners! I have covered travel around the US pretty extensively over on instagram, and some here on the blog and am looking to expand this part of my blog business.
That being said, I just HAD to share these gorgeous photos of our stay at Alila Manggis, which was in no way sponsored. It is located just an hour and fifteen minutes away from Sanur in East Bali right on the coast. I asked a new friend who lives in Bali with littles for a resort recommendation that would be a relaxing weekend for us and for my mom. Something with a luxury feel, that was affordable, close and toddler friendly. She hit the nail on the head with Alila Manggis (thanks, Libby!)
I can’t believe this hotel is only a Category 1 in the Hyatt family. It felt much nicer, even if it is almost 30 years old! And on top of that, its totally family friendly. Actually, most places in Bali are because the Balinese love children and are so kind.
It is breathtakingly beautiful. The food was delicious, the coffee divine. We chose an all inclusive plan which I highly recommend! It made meal times so easy. All of the rooms have a view of the grounds and the sea and we chose a balcony room as opposed to a lower level room, which was great. It is down the road from the village of Candidasa, which I heard is very charming if you want to explore off grounds. There are also temples to see and snorkeling to do if excursions are your thing! We were looking to simply relax, but we definitely plan to go back and take advantage of some of the other activities.
So, without further ado: here are some photos from our stay.
If you’ve seen the movie Ticket to Paradise with George Clooney and Julia Roberts you may recognize the gorgeous grounds of Alila Manggis from some aerial shots! Pretty cool when I was watching the movie to see that!
If you have plans to visit Bali, or live here now, you must put this on your list! You’ll thank me later. Be sure to bookmark this post to refer back to if you think you may visit in the future.
