The resort features 104 expansive suites starting at 86 sqm, with views of the sea or a lush private courtyard. The suites boast floor-to-ceiling windows, separate living rooms, double-vanity bathrooms, and a variety of distinctive spaces to unwind – most featuring a balcony and tranquil tearoom, others with a garden and private pool. Two exclusive rooftop suites offer 270-degree views and custom interior styles.

Two restaurants cater to diverse palates and group dining experiences. SEASALT offers all-day dining with a seafood-forward focus, while HOITONG delivers refined Cantonese fare with a farm-to-table philosophy. For networking or post-session unwinding, CHUN Bar is set against sweeping sea views – ideal for afternoon tea or a locally crafted cocktail.

The resort’s holistic wellness offering includes Spa Alila, with four treatment rooms, a salt room, hammam, and vitality pool. Additional amenities like a kid’s club, fitness studio, curated wellness workshops, and cantilevered infinity pool that stretches nearly 15m over the ocean.
