Alila Hotels & Resorts, an industry leader across Asia for luxury design, wellness, and sustainability is now delivering outstanding new culinary offerings. Here we bring you a preview from their properties in Bali and Cambodia to wet your appetite.

The Warung, signature restaurant of Bali’s Alila Villas Uluwatu has introduced their “8 Regencies Journey,” a culinary experience for guests featuring four epic nights of gastronomy crafted by a different esteemed guest chef for each event.

Inspired by beautiful ingredients from the eight regions of Bali, “8 Regencies Journey” will transform ingredients from two regions each night into sensational dining experiences that celebrate the best of the island.

This culinary journey will highlight ingredients such as boni (Balinese berries), salak (snake fruits), cassava, kluwek, andaliman, Kaffir lime, coriander, and turmeric, giving guests an authentic Bali tasting unlike any other.  

Also in Bali, Alila Seminyak’s coastal-inspired restaurant, Seasalt, is celebrating their new refined dinner menu along with a  sustainable cocktail concept. The delightful, fresh additions to Seasalt’s menu include 12 new flavorful dishes created with an array of ingredients that are locally sourced or homegrown at the resort’s rooftop organic garden.

Standouts include “Bowl of Smoke,” an elegant dish of black cod, moshio cracker, cured duck yolk and coffee wood smoked, along with “Off The Bone,” a grilled barramundi with sun-dried miso tapenade and sudachi emulsion. In keeping with the restaurant’s name, dishes are seasoned with traditional organic Kusumba sea salt from East Bali, where a small community of salt farmers continues a centuries-old tradition of producing 100% natural salt by sun and wind evaporation.
