History
Meaning "surprise" in Sanskrit, Alila Hotels and Resorts was launched in May 2001[1] when the brand's first property, "Alila Jakarta", opened its doors in Indonesia’s capital city. The brand was founded primarily by Mark Edleson.[2].
Properties
Alila properties are located in unique destinations that are traditionally less-traveled, utilizing local materials and practices under a sustainable approach. As of June 2020, there are 17 open properties across Indonesia, Malaysia, China, India, Oman and the United States, and eight upcoming locations in Switzerland, California (United States), China, Vietnam, the Maldives, Malaysia and Oman.
In December 2012, Alila Hotels and Resorts added a liveaboard Phinisi sailing ship to their portfolio named the Alila Purnama.[3] It was the brand’s first luxury liveaboard ship. At present, the ship sails over the Indonesian waters of Raja Ampat and the Komodo area.
