As Alila’s global flagship store, Uluwatu lives up to its reputation! The unique design concept, bold location, unique and amazing views, all-villa guest room configuration and warm and thoughtful service are all the reasons why I chose it! But the most important thing is that Alila Uluwatu is so photogenic that you can take photos with your phone! There aren't many varieties of breakfast, but the taste is good overall. The service is very good. They always ask for something and are proactive and enthusiastic. We had lunch at a local restaurant all day. The ordering was average, but it's worth mentioning that the service was also very enthusiastic and they sent a lot of side dishes. We had Western food for dinner one day. The taste was good overall. Black tiger prawns and pizza steak are both recommended. You can wait for the sunset in the birdcage from 5:30 to 6:00 every morning. The price of cocktails is also very conscientious, about 120 per cup. If you are a guest, it doesn't matter if you only order water to occupy a seat! Alila has built a small path to the bottom of the cliff, which feels pretty good. It takes about an hour to go back and forth. There is no beach, only reefs. The water is relatively clear, with many large black rocks and many caves washed by sea water. It's a bit magical. Hotel: Villa Alila in Ruwatu

I already wanted to live there when I saw this before This time my friend booked and invited me to go😍 The main tone of the whole accommodation design is orange and pink With the Morocco I've been to it seems every detail is beautiful There is a public pool in the middle where you can sunbathe The restaurant is also very vibes portions are very large If you like this style like me remember to book it 📍Terra Cottages Bali, Uluwatu #Bali #familygoodplace #summergoodplace

That’s the first thought that came to mind when I discovered this Cliff in Uluwatu. There really no signs on the roads showing that there is a magnificent cliff nearby so it’s kinda tricky to find but once you do, you’ll be sure to agree that checking it out wasn’t a mistake. Use any map application and type “Batu Jaran Cliff/Hill” There’s no official entrance or gate there so entrance is free, you can go with a motorbike/car and leave it nearby whilst you observe the view of a lifetime. If you’re lucky you could also observe some turtles swimming as you look down on the waves. If you’re ever in Uluwatu be sure to check out ‘Batu Jaran Cliff’ #MyTripVlog #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #campingglamping #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #bucketlistreboot #bali #balitravel #uluwatu #batujarancliff

#Cafe with a good view #Bali travel #Cafe recommendation Tapas del Mar, a pretty Balinese cafe with a pinkish sensibility💕 I happened to come across this place while wandering around the streets?ㅋㅋ The pinkish colors really caught my eye, so I took a seat without even realizing itㅋㅋ The cafe is like an indoor space, and it's a place where you can enjoy coffee and a light lunch☕️ No matter where you sit, you'll be hit by the pinkish Balinese sensibility view The inside and outside of the cafe are both pretty, so you can take as many pictures as you want~ If you especially like the color pink, be sure to stop by!💘 📍Tapas del Mar Uluwatu

One of the most viral beaches on Instagram recently It is nunggalan beach Because there is a graffitied broken boat on the beach When the tide is high the waves can wash up to the hull Unfortunately the tide had receded when we visited this time But the view is still beautiful and perfect for photography and sunbathing But be aware that you have to walk a mountain road to get to this one beach! 📍Nunggalan Beach, uluwatu #OverseasTravel #Bali

Uluwatu is located in the south of Bali. Since we stayed in a hotel in Kuta, we hired a driver for a day to explore Uluwatu. The drive from Kuta to Uluwatu takes about 30-60 minutes depending on a traffic. Upon arrival we started walking down the cliff passing by cute shops, cozy cafes and nice restaurants. Make sure to check the tide, because you can walk around the corals and go all the way down the cliff if you arrive during low tide. If you arrive during high tide, it will be filled with water and you won’t get the change to see the corals and walk around at the bottom the cliff. Once we were done, we started heading back up, we stopped at some cute shops to buy souvenirs and clothes. Since it was already almost sunset, we decided to have dinner at the Single Fin. We chose a table overlooking the cliff with a spectacular view of the breaking waves and sunset 🌅. I ordered chicken mushroom pasta and coca-cola. The food was delicious and the view was simply stunning. Enjoy your trip to Uluwatu and have a great day 😊 #gooutside #bali #uluwatu #travel #foodie #awesomepic #beachlife #passionpassport #indonesia #naturalwonders

#favouriteitinerary Uluwatu Temple is a stunning clifftop temple with breathtaking ocean views. The atmosphere is vibrant, especially during sunset when the sky turns golden. It’s a great spot to experience Balinese culture, with traditional Kecak dance performances in the evening. But beware—cheeky monkeys roam around and love snatching sunglasses, hats, and even phones! Hold onto your belongings while enjoying the beauty of this iconic temple. #uluwatu #travel

#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere #bali Uluwatu during the day is a living testament to the awe-inspiring artistry of nature. As I stood atop its dramatic cliffs, gazing at the endless expanse of the Indian Ocean, I couldn’t help but feel humbled by the sheer power and beauty of this place. The turquoise waves crashing against the rugged rocks below created a mesmerizing symphony, while the sea breeze carried a sense of peace. Exploring the iconic Uluwatu Temple under the bright sun revealed intricate carvings and panoramic views that were simply breathtaking. Travel tip: Visit mid-morning to avoid the midday heat and take your time strolling along the cliffside paths. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, and your camera—you’ll want to capture every angle of this natural wonder. Uluwatu is a daytime destination that leaves you in awe of nature’s grandeur.

#beachtime Bali, this sea is fortunate to be here. Uluwatu is my favorite place in Seminyak, with the most primitive natural scenery and even the sea in gradient colors. Who said Bali doesn't have a jelly sea? The restaurant is Roosterfish, which is so niche that it can't be any more niche. There aren't many people starting to lie flat and enjoy the beauty of the world. Life advice to go to this island to enjoy the life and natural sensations Comfortable island life is key to relax from worries Spring Vacation is good time to run from cold weather For me I called it Healing island life of Soul!! #trip #beaches #bali #localguides #familytrip

The beautiful scenery of Uluwatu is very attractive. This time we chartered a car for a whole day. The itinerary was rich and worthwhile! However, because I neglected sun protection, I was directly "taught a lesson" by the sun. I would like to share some experience with you, hoping that you can have fun more easily! 🏝️ Itinerary 1. Uluwatu Cliff It is best to arrive at 9-10 am, when there are few people and the scenery is beautiful, and you can easily take a photo! The cliff scenery against the blue sky is very stunning, and the blue sky and white clouds at noon are also very suitable for taking pictures~ 2. Lunch at the cliff restaurant We chose a cliff restaurant and enjoyed the Indian Ocean while eating. The scenery is beautiful! Recommended: Seafood platter + tropical juice, very suitable for holiday atmosphere~ Suggestion: It may be a bit sunny at noon, remember to choose a cool place or apply sunscreen. 3. Uluwatu Temple The temple on the cliff has a unique view, but the monkeys are really naughty. We saw a tourist's earrings being pulled away! Tips: Keep your glasses and accessories away, and don’t hold snacks in your hands~ 4. Padang Padang Beach Finally, we went to this small beach, the filming location of the movie “Eat Pray Love”. It was super relaxing to walk barefoot on the fine sand, but because I didn’t apply much sunscreen, I got sunburned! Everyone must pay attention to sun protection! 🚗 Charter travel experience Flexible time: Uluwatu attractions are scattered, chartering a car is very convenient, and the driver will help you optimize the route. High cost performance: The driver recommended by my friend was very reliable and provided considerate service. We also gave him a tip in the end. 🌟 Notes 1. Make sure to protect yourself from the sun! Not only is sunscreen necessary, but hats, sunglasses, and thin long sleeves are also necessary. We didn't pay attention to sun protection at the time, and when we returned to the hotel we found that our skin was sunburned and painful, and some places were even sunburned. It was too late to take remedial measures! 2. Monkey Temple Protection Monkeys are very agile, so it is best to keep small items such as glasses and earrings away. 3. Beach time selection The light in the afternoon is gentle and more suitable for taking photos. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.

Gorgeous Uluwatu, amazing smokes and crystal blue ocean

Arrive early to secure a good spot for the Kecak dance performance. 2.Dress Modestly.you’ll need to wear a sarong and sash (usually provided at the entrance). It’s a sign of respect for the sacred site. 3.Beware of Monkeys: The temple area is home to mischievous monkeys. They may try to snatch sunglasses, hats, or food, so keep your belongings secure. 4.Wear Comfortable Shoes: You’ll do a bit of walking, and some paths are uneven, so sturdy footwear is helpful.

| Lesser-known sea view restaurant! 20r for the whole Indian Ocean. During my time in Uluwatu, I didn't go to any popular attractions or restaurants, or even beach clubs. My daily routine: sleep in, find a restaurant for lunch and chill until 2 or 3 pm, then head to a lesser-known beach to sunbathe. 💙Charming Beach Resto I really like this sea view restaurant I found this time, with an average price of 20r for a stunning sea view! It's located under a cliff, and you have to walk a bit to get there, but it has a breathtaking sea view, a beautiful lesser-known beach, and the whole Indian Ocean! 🌊 Trust me, anyone who comes here will be amazed by the view in front of them. The endless Indian Ocean is right in front of me, with a clear sky and a pure blue sea, so beautiful～💓 The most beautiful sea I've seen in Bali is really in Uluwatu! When you open the map, you'll find yourself at the southernmost tip of Bali, so close to Australia, the world is so beautiful 🥹 🚶 The road down to the restaurant is really beautiful! No need to go to the popular cliff road, there's a similar one here haha～ It's not tiring to walk and take pictures along the way, with a cliff road view! Indonesian fried noodles and fried rice are about 20r, 🥥 coconuts are about 10r, the prices are not expensive, there are not many choices, but the taste is good. 🏖️ The beach below has clear water and white sand, with very few people, very niche! You can dive, surf, kayak... 💫 Some Tips 1. The beach and restaurant are in the same area, Pantai Gunung Payung, locals charge at the entrance above, 10k/person for tickets, 2k for motorcycles, even if you only go to the restaurant and not the beach. They started to trick me into saying 20k, but my Japanese friend told me 10k, anyway, they will trick as many as they can, so observe more. 2. You can choose to take a shuttle bus to the restaurant beach, it seems to be 15k/person, or you can walk down for about 10 minutes, it's not difficult, it will be a bit tiring to come up, but the scenery is beautiful. 3. The restaurant staff is really chill, maybe because there are few people? If there is no one in the lobby, be proactive and get the menu to order, otherwise, you will wait. 4. The restaurant itself is average, just sit in the first row of the sea view, the sea view in front of you is unbeatable. Nearby attractions: Pantai Gunung Payung: The beach below this restaurant, a super niche jelly sea Melasti beach: About 4 km by motorcycle, also a super beautiful beach jelly sea, the water is very clear and comfortable to soak in～ Uluwatu, Bali

#VisitBali "Uluwatu Temple" Uluwatu Temple is one of the oldest temples in Bali. It was built in the 11th century to worship the god of the sea. It is located on a high cliff with a pointed tip protruding into the sea at a height of more than 70 meters above sea level, allowing us to see the Bali sea with its turquoise water at 180 degrees. The architecture of the building is in the style of a Hindu temple. The design is divided into 3 parts according to beliefs: heaven, humans and ghosts.

Had a blast in Bali🤭

On my recent trip to Uluwatu, Bali, I stayed at the charming Gravity Boutique Hotel, a perfect retreat with its bohemian and relaxing atmosphere. If you are looking for a peaceful, stylish place to stay near Bali’s famous cliffs, I highly recommend it. #holidayvacation #aesthetic #relax 🏄🏽♀️ My day began with a visit to Bingin Beach, a hidden gem with stunning scenary and a relaxed vine. Known for its consistenf waves, it’s a great spot for both begginer and seasoned surfers. I rented a board directly from the beach and spend the morning catching waves. A tip for first-timers: make sure to check the tides, as low tide exposes the reef, which can be tricky to navigate. #beachlife 🍛 After a few hours of surfing, I explored some of the local warungs (small eateries) along the beach. They offer delicious and affordable meals - perfect for refuelling after an active morning! Try the nasi goreng or fresh seafood. #foodie #localfood 🌅 For the afternoon, I headed to El Kabron Balin, a Spanish-inspired beach clun perched on a cliff with panoramic ocean views. The highlight of the day was watching the sunset from their infinity pool. #sunset Overall, Uluwatu offers an amazing balance of adventure and relaxation, perfect for a beach-loving traveler. Whether you are surfing or just soaking up the views, it’s a destination you will remember. For those planning a trip, make sure to include Bingin Beach to your itinerary! #vacation Tips for travellers visiting Uluwatu: - Suluban Beach: also a prime surf spot - explore the caves at low tide! - Surfing: most beaches have surfboard rentals by the beach. Prices are negotiable, especially for half or full day rentals. - Single Fin Restaurant: this clifftop restaurant is perfect for sunset drinks and dinner with live music and a great vibe. - Getting around: the best way to explore is by renting a scooter. Roads can be narrow, so drive carefully. - Sun protection: the sun can be harsh, so pack plenty of sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat! 🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♂️ Uluwatu has a laid-back vibe compared to busier areas of Bali. Slow down, enjoy sunsets, and take time to soak in the beautiful cliffside views and serene atmosphere!
