Guest sentiment
A secluded 55-room Alila resort on Bali's east coast near Candidasa, set in a coconut grove away from the island's busier tourist areas.
Last updated August 8, 2026
Alila Manggis sits amid a coconut grove on Bali's east coast, near Candidasa and roughly 90 minutes from Seminyak, deliberately away from the island's busier tourist hotspots. The 55-room resort draws consistent praise for its peaceful atmosphere, attentive service, and complimentary activities like cooking classes and yoga, with guests describing rooms as spacious, clean, and beautifully designed despite being on the smaller and more traditional side. It's a genuine retreat rather than a base for exploring Bali's nightlife or shopping, so it suits travelers specifically seeking seclusion over central convenience.
