"So infused with traditional Goan design is the graceful, tile-roofed architecture, so massive and gnarled are the mango trees growing in its courtyards and gardens, that it’s not initially obvious that the Alila is in fact, relatively new (it opened in 2010). The public rooms and corridors, open-sided and high-ceilinged, draw in the lush surroundings, which are cooled by reflecting pools and fountains. Dramatic lighting makes the outdoor setting, which includes an infinity pool with partially submerged recliners overlooking rice paddies and bamboo stands, even more magical at night. The 118 rooms and suites are furnished simply yet elegantly, enlivened by earth and jewel-colored headboards; the bathroom, enclosed by a lattice screen, has a tub, a walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. The open-kitchen Vivo serves multiethnic cuisine at all meals; Spice Studio, a purely Indian menu in the evening. There are some quibbles—the rooms are not well soundproofed, and tour groups can diminish the otherwise exclusive feel of the resort. But the Alila’s gorgeous looks and peaceful southern Goa surroundings together with its delightful staff outweigh the drawbacks."

"Alila, the Southeast Asian boutique-hospitality powerhouse, is expanding to the west, and they’ve alighted on Indian shores — the west-coast state of Goa, to be exact. There will be some of you who need little more encouragement than just the name, and it’s not hard to see why — the place looks pretty much exactly like what you’d expect from Alila in Goa, which is to say, crisp contemporary design, glassy infinity-edge pools, locally-inspired pitched-roof architecture, and a span of flawless sand between lush plantation land and the waters of the Arabian Sea." - Tablet Hotels
