All visitors who have experienced the natural beauty and the creative designs of the resort would wonder about its designers. Leading the design team for Alila Villas Hadahaa is Chan Soo Khian, founder and principal architect of Singapore-based SCDA Architects. SCDA was named as one of the Design Vanguards of 2003 by the very prestigious Architectural Record, a monthly publication by the American Institute of Architects.

Indeed, Alila Villas Hadahaa is gentle on the earth. The design and construction blueprints were guided by environmental impact studies prior to implementation. In complementing the spirit of environmental stewardship, Soo Khian is careful to ensure that his design promotes rainwater harvesting and minimises disruption to corals around the island. The concept preserves and reinforces the existing foliage of the island. Waste treatment plants ensure that pollution to the island is minimised.
