Doris Goh
Having the honour of being the very first employee of Alila Hotels & Resorts in 2003, Doris was tasked with starting up the corporate HQ in Singapore and building the Alila brand from scratch. With her knowledge of the luxury market, an eye for emerging trends and a passion for sharing the Alila vision, she made quick work of drawing the spotlight onto this young, exciting company, getting Alila featured in a CNA documentary within just eight months of starting operations. Fast forward to today, and Alila hotels and resorts are globally recognised for their destination-inspired contemporary designs, innovative lifestyle concepts and personalised destination experiences.
As Alila continues to expand into more destinations, Doris remains an integral part of a dynamic team in scripting the next chapter of the Alila story.... one that speaks of the pursuit of green initiatives and community-driven projects as part of its absolute commitment to responsible tourism.

I have to say I was pretty reluctant to leave beautiful Ubud, but I was still looking forward to seeing a different part of Bali; a more relaxed side to the island and one of Bali’s [...]
Book your holiday now: Alila Villas Soori, Bali
Breathtaking, isn’t it? We often take the quiet, the simple and the stark for granted. In the midst of frenzy, we forget to sink deeper under the covers, savor the sunsets, and settle calmly amongst the quiet. It’s easy to get lost in the thicket, I suppose. When I left New York last week I was anxiety-ridden, hunched over, and angry for reasons I couldn’t understand. Six days later, I leave Bali rested and filled with clarity. Perhaps I needed another coat of arms for all the warfare. Possibly I underestimated how much protection I’d need.
