Singapore -- (SBWire) -- 01/02/2012 --In the words of Winston Churchill, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give…" Alila embraces the spirit of giving back through its ‘Gift to Share’ programme, a community effort that encourages guests to engage in a no-obligation option to share the 'Gift' with local community endeavours initiated by our hotels and resorts.

Our properties regularly support or initiate projects that aim to improve quality of life and reduce poverty, particularly in rural areas, bringing real and lasting benefits to the community. And what better time to share a gift than in the season of giving! Come indulge in these meaningful Alila getaways.
