Discover Glamping at The Hidden Valley Resort, Shangri-la
To come to fabled Shangri-la is to leave the worries of the world behind. A place from which to explore the mysteries of the Far East and to find the inspiration behind James Hilton’s book, the story of Lost Horizon. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it offers awe-inspiring views and experiences within a natural paradise where “being” is more compelling than “doing”.

A unique lifestyle and investment
Set dramatically on limestone cliffs along the southern coastline of Bali with clear views overlooking the Indian Ocean, Alila Villas Uluwatu lies very close to Bali’s famous Uluwatu Temple and is just 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport. This residential villa and hotel development will also include five-star resort facilities, offering an unparalleled lifestyle experience, and an exceptional investment opportunity with individual villas available for sale.
The long-term investment value of villa ownership is supported by the fact that Alila Villas Uluwatu is offered with a “Hak Guna Bangunan” or “Right to Build” land title, probably the best available title for foreign ownership. In addition, the turnkey contractor for the project is Indonesia’s reputable and very experienced PT Hutama Karya, whose extensive portfolio includes Begawan Giri, Amanjiwo and Alila Manggis.
