Uluwatu Trips & Tours

Striking just the right balance of deliciously raw beauty and a vibrant atmosphere.
A sparkling gem on the southwestern tip of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, Uluwatu is famed for its limestone cliff and white sand panoramas – and its big-league waves. Surfers from all over the world come here for the surf breaks but if you don’t fancy joining them, head to one of the cliff-side restaurants or cafes to watch, cocktail in hand. Padang Padang, a gorgeous beach notched into the limestone, is another iconic hang out for the surfers but it’s also great for a swim and a lounge – and you might even recognise the scenery from the film Eat, Pray, Love. You’ll also spot Uluwatu Temple in the distance, one of Bali’s most iconic sea temples that gazes over the ocean some 70 metres below from its clifftop perch. Visit at sunset for the best views and then catch a traditional Kecak dance performance, accompanied by the chanting of male dancers.
Things to do

What to do in Uluwatu

Surf the world-class waves at Uluwatu Beach, a favourite among surfers from around the globe. Visit the iconic Uluwatu Temple, perched on dramatic cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, and stay for the mesmerising Kecak fire dance performance at sunset. Relax on pristine beaches like Padang Padang and Suluban, known for their turquoise waters and hidden coves. For a more luxurious touch, enjoy sunset cocktails at one of the clifftop beach clubs, where you can soak in panoramic ocean views in style.
