Enjoy a green holiday at Alila Villas Uluwatu 
 
We know. Everyone needs some quality time now and then, a bit of mind escape with that special someone, a chance to get off the grid, and go real remote. Somewhere as lavish and discrete as the Oval Office. But just because you don’t want your carbon footprint to look like the missing link’s Nikes, it doesn’t mean you have to sign up at your nearest palates studio or, God forbid, buy a baby blue Mini Cooper with a rainbow bumper sticker. Thankfully, we know of a place where living the good life and being green are not mutually exclusive.
 
The Alila Villas Uluwatu (the harder the name, the more exotic the hotel) opened recently on Bali’s isolated southern coast and offers the best of both worlds. The villas are modern and sexy, and the bathrooms are like stadiums for the kinky-inclined. There are cliff-top cabanas for cocktail hour, private infinity pools over-looking the Indian Ocean, Hefner-styled yakata robes, 500-thread-count linen and hot and cold butler service on tap. But it’s also one of the greenest resorts in Asia, with lava rock roofing acting as Mother Nature’s pink bats, grey water recycling, breathable bamboo ceilings and recycled hard wood frames – even the warm AC air is used to heat your shower.
 
Give your Jiminy Cricket a martini and lax out guilt free.
