Alila Villas Uluwatu is already known as a Regenerative Tourism trailblazer. Under its No Plastics initiative, the resort has eliminated unnecessary plastic packaging and items in all villas and restaurants and, as a proud signatory of the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative led by the UN Environment Program and the World Tourism Association, has targeted to eliminate all single-use plastic from the resort by 2025. In efforts to increase its self-sufficiency, Alila Villas Uluwatu bottles its own drinking water, grows ingredients for its restaurants in an Organic Chili Garden, and has an on-site waste management facility, the Sustainability Lab, where all waste is sorted for reuse, recycling or up-cycling in collaboration with community partners, ensuring no waste is sent to landfills.
“We feel that the modern-day luxury traveler is looking for sustainability in travel and to contribute in some form or other to the environment and the community,” says General Manager Hemal Jain. “With our new Positive Footprint booking, we will be able to provide a more personalized experience for those who desire a stay that is as sustainable as possible. It provides the best possible option for our guests, our community and our planet.”
The Positive Footprint booking option comes with a range of exclusive benefits, including:

• Complimentary minibar stocked with all-local products.
• Environmentally Conscious level of butler service with a mindful effort to save energy, water and waste.
