Alila Yangshuo

Renowned as a paradise on Earth, Yangshuo is famous for its landscape of Karst mountains, green hills and winding rivers, resembling a beautiful Chinese painting. In the midst of this stunning scenic landscape, an old sugar mill takes on the heritage setting for a modern retro design resort that is Alila Yangshuo. Alila Yangshuo paves the way for an exhilarating journey into the region's natural and cultural splendours, where guests may explore the many curated arts, music, culinary and outdoor programmes available to them. Join in the rock wall climbing challenge, or catch a performance of the legendary 'Impressions of Liu Sanjie' water show, performed at night on the Li River.
Alila Yangshuo's unique architecture is a blend of new and the retro' 60s, resurrecting an era lost to the Cultural Revolution. The site is set against a green backdrop of misty hills, overlooking a beautiful panorama of the Li River.

The hallmark of Alila is the combination of innovative design and crafted luxury in unique locations, set apart by an unprecedented level of personalised hospitality, private spaces and bespoke journeys.

Alila means "Surprise" in Sanskrit, which suitably describes the refreshing character of our properties and impressions of our guests when they stay with us.

To stay at any of Alila's hotels and resorts is to embark on an authentic destination experience. Be it in recreating the flavours of the local cuisine, enhancing your well-being through ancient healing arts or the thrill of adventure sports... Indulge in the joy of discovery at Alila.
