Green Initiatives. We are proud that Alila Villas Uluwatu has embraced environmentally sus-tainable design (ESD) principles and is the first resort in Indonesia to receive the highest level of certification from EarthCheck as a Best Practice Building Planning and Design (BPDS) de-velopment. We utilise many ESD measures, including use of local materials, water conservation with soaks and rain gardens and a waste water management system, using local plants from the special Bali savannah ecosystem, the deliberate use of sustainable/recycled materials, protec-tion of the natural environment, and measured work practices throughout construction.

Local Community. In the spirit of giving back to our local community, we have nominated the following two worthy foundations for support:

The R.O.L.E Foundation, our non-profit partner working to break the poverty cycle through Women’s Skills and Business Education. Approximately 30 million Indonesians are living in poverty; about 70% of the poor are women and their children. Most of them are unskilled. R.O.L.E. fights to empower women in poverty and help to break this cycle – through skills edu-cation, hospitality training and fair wage job support. R.O.L.E. believes that through the educa-tion of a woman, her whole family profits, leading to prosperity for the local communities. R.O.L.E. relies wholly on donations to fund this effective and life-changing programme.

Bali Life Foundation, a home that provides housing, education and health care to orphaned, abandoned and rejected children from the age of 5 to 15 in Bali.

Our responsibilities Alila Villas Uluwatu follows a dedicated environmental and social sustain-ability policy that cultivates eco-friendly concepts through environmentally sustainable design principles.

Water conservation: Installation of the soak away rainwater tanks, recyclable grey water system that directs used water through reverse osmosis tanks to be re-used throughout the property. plants mostly used in the surrounding landscape require minimum irrigation, thus reducing wa-ter wastage. Energy consumption is kept to a minimum: using recycled materials such as wood from railway sleepers and telephone poles and unique design of each villa with use of the lava rocks roof, bamboo ceiling and windows placement which encourage air-flow and minimize the use of lights and air conditioning. 

Locally sourced all building materials: local bamboo used for the ceilings, lime stones from the site, which is hand cut for the garden walls. Locally sourced lava rocks used for the roofs of each villa. Natural environment: local plants from the Uluwatu Bali savannah ecosystem on the Bukit are raised in a nursery on site to encourage local bird and animal life. 

Integrated architectural design: Alila Villas Uluwatu’s landscaping and architectural forms were derived from the local Bali savannah-like environment without intruding on the wild and sea-sonal surroundings. Using the idea of Bali’s rocky terrace fields and lush gulley, the architects have created architecture of terraced planes, which protect cool gardens.
