The hottest couple on the Indonesian island of Bali right now is a pair of Alila Resorts. The sixty-four-room Alila Ubud (rooms from $180; 011-62-361-975-963) was designed by Australia's Kerry Hill Architects to be almost entirely open-air. Its infinity pool overlooks the palm-studded Ayung River Valley, and villas done up in dark wood have wraparound terraces and outside baths set in lotus ponds.

With fifty-three rooms, Alila Manggis (rooms from $145; 011-62-363-410-11), on Bali's eastern coast, is the perfect sybaritic complement to its artsy Ubud sister. Choose from cooking classes with chef Penelope Williams, deep-tissue massages beside the sea and spectacular diving a few minutes' drive away. alilahotels.com.
