About the Destination

Located in the Jiangnan region, the centuries-old water town of Wuzhen is known as the last town surrounded by water in China, where ancient buildings stand perfectly preserved, displaying skilful wood and stone carving. Wuzhen is also known as the 'Land of Fish and Rice' and the 'Home of Silk', being situated on fertile land and a famous centre of silk production. The Grand Canal coursing through Wuzhen has nurtured the town's splendid culture throughout its more than 1,300-year history. Exploring Dongzha (west area) and Xizha (east area) of the town reveals many historic and cultural sites as well as bustling water markets. Ancient traditions also remain very much alive here, including Wuzhen's signature indigo fabric dyeing.

Design & Facilities

Alila Wuzhen's minimalist design is a modern reimagining of a classic Jiangnan village. Its well-proportioned spaces are a maze of twists and turns, reminiscent of village streets, lanes, courtyards and public areas, intertwined with waterways that correspond to those of the water town. A peaceful environment reigns in the resort's 125 generously appointed suites, villas and pool villas, all wrapped around by private courtyards and waterways. The iconic indoor pool is inspired by the Arabian Alhambra's starry bathroom where dappled sunlight etched delightful patterns onto its pitched roof. The main public spaces are gathered around a central water courtyard, with water features dissecting indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the resort, while also connecting the buildings like traditional villages of old.

Accommodation – 125 Suites and Villas

The resort will offer an exquisite stay in 125 generously spacious suites, villas and pool villas, wrapped around private courtyards and intertwining waterways.
