Uluwatu

Clifftop Views, Surf Breaks & Sunset Magic

Raw coastline, luxury escapes, and the best sunsets in Bali — welcome to Uluwatu.

Perched on Bali’s southernmost tip, Uluwatu offers a different kind of island experience — dramatic cliffs, world-class surf, secluded beaches, and a laid-back, surfer-meets-luxury vibe. It’s the kind of place where you wake up to ocean breezes, spend the day exploring beaches below limestone cliffs, and end with a cold drink at a clifftop bar watching the sun melt into the sea.

As long-time locals, we love Uluwatu for its blend of natural beauty, cultural depth, and chill energy — and we think you will too.
