What is not publishedthe gaps we looked for and did not find
The property's own domains, alilahotels.com and alilavillasuluwatujourney.com, now redirect to hyatt.com, which refuses automated requests, so the operator's current sustainability page could not be read and this record rests on the architect's own pages and on press. Air Ecology: large overhangs and cross-ventilation are published as passive design, and no filter grade, fresh air supply rate, carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound reading, and no mould inspection protocol, was found. No statement about combustion sources inside guest rooms was found either way. Water Integrity: rainwater soakaway tanks, retention ponds and a greywater loop through reverse osmosis tanks are published, but the published destination of that treated water is the gardens and toilet flushing rather than the guest supply, and no laboratory panel, filtration grade or pool chemistry figure is published for drinking or bathing water. Light Rhythm: the project's lighting designer, Lighting Planners Associates, publishes a minimum light concept for the resort and the scheme won an Illuminating Engineering Society Award of Merit in 2010, and low energy lighting appears in the architect's sustainability list under energy. Neither publishes a colour temperature, a flicker performance figure, a blackout specification or a circadian lighting system. EMF Harmony: nothing is published on network topology, cabling, access point or smart meter placement, shielding, or field measurement in sleeping areas. Booking platforms list free Wi-Fi, which is neither a topology disclosure nor evidence that one is absent. Materials and Textiles: stone, roof and ceiling materials are named, and no mattress composition, linen fibre content or textile certification, paint, adhesive or sealant emission class, or cleaning and laundry chemistry is published. Food and Kitchen: an on-site organic garden and Indonesian sourcing are described, and no share of produce, named farm or supplier, cookware, cooking oil policy or kitchen water specification is published. Sound and Sensory Ecology: no measured background noise level, acoustic separation specification, plant noise figure or fragrance policy is published.
Other standards held
Useful context. A held standard does not move a pathway score on its own. It moves a score only through the evidence that standard publishes.
Regional context2 public figures about the area, none of which scores
Public data about the surrounding area. None of it contributes to the score, because a property cannot be marked down for the conditions outside it.
- Safely managed drinking water, Indonesia: The World Health Organization reports 30 per cent of the population nationally, 35 per cent in urban areas, 24 per cent in rural areas using a safely managed drinking water service. This describes the country, not this property, and says nothing about what reaches a guest room here. It is recorded because it is the background against which a property's own treatment is worth publishing. Source
- Ambient PM2.5 and PM10 near Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia: Modelled ambient air over this location averaged 12.0 micrograms per cubic metre of PM2.5 and 16.9 of PM10 across the 720 hours to 2026-08-17, peaking at 30.5 PM2.5. The World Health Organization annual guideline for PM2.5 is 5. This is the outdoor air over the area, modelled rather than measured on site, and it is not a reading of the air inside any room. Source

Not published is not unsafehow to read these scores, and what this index does not promise
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
These scores measure disclosure. These scores describe disclosure, not property quality. This index has no commercial relationship with the properties listed unless a badge on the listing says otherwise.
Conditions change, and we will not always know. Every record is a snapshot of what a property had published when we read it, and that date is on the page. Conditions change: a property can refit, change suppliers or replace a system at any time, and nothing requires it to tell us. We re-read records and ask properties directly for updates, but there will always be a gap between what is true today and what was published when we looked. Use this as a frame of reference for what to ask, not as a substitute for asking. Take your own questions to the property before you book, and tell us if you find something we have wrong.
We report what properties publish. We do not inspect, certify or vouch for any property on this index unless a listing says we assessed it on site, and we accept no responsibility for decisions made or outcomes experienced on the basis of what you read here.
Questions travelers askwater, air, EMF, and whether it is worth it
Questions travelers ask about Alila Villas Uluwatu
Does Alila Villas Uluwatu publish water quality testing?
Yes, at specification level: a named system, supplier or standard is on the record, without a published measurement. Scored 2 of 3.

Is Alila Villas Uluwatu low-EMF?
No measurement is published. Only 14 of the 70 properties we have researched publish any bedroom EMF information at all, so this is the industry norm, not an outlier.
Is Alila Villas Uluwatu worth it?
We score evidence, not experience. On evidence, it ranks 27 of 70 researched records. The strongest documented pathways are Water Integrity and Materials and Textiles; nothing is published on EMF Harmony or Sound and Sensory Ecology.
