Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort

The entire resort has an open-air concept to make the most of the fresh ocean breeze and those views. At 360 Rooftop, tuck into breakfast as the waves crash below, then return for a dinner of Balinese crispy duck or succulent seafood paired with one of the cellar wines. Right at the cliff's edge, the Botol Biru Bar & Grill serves dishes from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, alongside cocktails and dreamy sunsets. Inspired by a traditional Balinese lumbung (stilted rice barn), the spa offers locally-inspired treatments to sooth any travel aches.

The 73 spacious suites, villas and penthouses boast the best views on the Bukit Peninsula and are beautifully-decorated with a contemporary Balinese flair, bold artwork and plenty of polished wood. The amenities range between different room types; some have direct pool access while others have their own private pool or hot tub; some boast a dining sala and others have a private garden. The bathrooms are slick with gleaming wood and slate-coloured tiling, and a bathtub with a serious view.

There's a smorgasbord of activities and day trips to enjoy whilst at the Anantara. Take advantage of the complimentary shuttle to nearby Uluwatu Temple; it sits at 70 metres above the ocean and is famous for the traditional Kecak dance performances. Then again, you might prefer to take a Balinese dance or tai chi lesson, or opt for a cooking class to learn about regional dishes and local ingredients. There are also water sports galore, as well as spectacular diving.
