Alila Seminyak is set to open on Bali’s southwest coast, having exceeded requirements for the sustainable design assessment carried out by Earthcheck called the Global Standards in Building, Planning and Design Certification.

Due to launch in September 2015, Alila Seminyak will feature 240 bedrooms and a number of suites for sale. Designed by architects URBNarc, the property is themed as a private garden, connected by a labyrinth of green corridors, natural landscaping, plus rooftop pools and gardens.

Steve Jeisman, the man who developed the spa brand for Alila in 2006 and has been director of spa and development ever since, told Spa Opportunities that the property’s signature Spa Alila will offer six double therapy rooms and one signature spa suite – complete with twin Vichy showers, a silk bath, heated treatment beds, twin rain showers and a steamroom. The other six couples’ suites each comprise an indoor day-bed, in addition to treatment beds and steam showers. Also within the spa, there will be a Thai massage room, a reflexology room – with five lounge beds – a spa lounge, as well as a hair and nail salon.

The fitness area at the property will offer a gym and a yoga studio.

"Spa Alila infuses a cosmopolitan edge within these lush tropical settings by embracing both the buzz of Seminyak and providing a luxurious spa sanctuary where nurturing treatments and therapies using 100% natural Alila Living products are tailored," said Jeisman.

The hotel’s construction has involved locally-sourced, recycled and reclaimed building materials. Additionally, low energy light fixtures have been installed, while rainwater is harvested for re-use and environmental building management systems have been implemented.
