Heading to Uluwatu? It’s one of Bali’s most sought-after neighbourhoods and is especially popular amongst surfers. First discovered in the 1970s, Uluwatu is still Bali’s number one surf destination, thanks to the quality and consistency of the waves. This is where the most experienced surfers come to play, so get your surfboards ready and dive in for a good time!

Set below stunning limestone cliffs, surfers flock to Uluwatu to test their skills on swells that come from all directions. There are 5 main “peaks” here that surfers are after, including Temple, The Bombie, Outside Corner, The Peak and Race Track

The Waves Here are Fast & Powerful

Remember to proceed with caution. The best time to visit Uluwatu would be June to August when the waves are the biggest and best. Those looking for smaller waves can try visiting from September to November.

But Uluwatu is not just for surfing. Home to Bali’s best beaches and waves, the entire Bukit Peninsula area of Bali is filled with white sand beaches, crystal clear water and great clifftop locations to wine, dine and party overlooking the famous Uluwatu views. The vibe here is friendly and relaxed, with a healthy mix of locals and international tourists and expats.

Uluwatu and neighbouring Pecatu, Ungasan and Bingin are all just minutes away from Bali’s best beaches. You can spend all your time exploring popular and hidden white sand beaches including Dreamland Beach, Melasti Beach, Padang Padang, Balangan Beach, Suluban Beach, Nyang Nyang Beach, Bingin Beach and more.

If You Just Want To Relax & Enjoy The View

You can do so from almost any clifftop perch in Uluwatu. Bring your sunblock and your sunnies and get ready to take in unimpeded views of the Indian Ocean for as far as the eye can see. Watch the waves miles below and see one of the most magical sunsets of your life.

Day-to-day living here in Uluwatu doesn’t differ much from Seminyak or Canggu. There are great restaurants serving international cuisine, vegan, vegetarian and Indonesian favourites. There are local warungs too, cafes and pizzerias.

By the beach, you’ll find a wide selection of beach shacks serving beach bites like burgers and staples like nasi goreng. There are great bars too and fun nightlife. Choose from relaxed low-key joints to luxurious beach bars like Single Fin, all serving delectable food, great drinks and fantastic entertainment.

Located 30 minutes away from the Ngurah Rai International Airport in Kuta, Uluwatu is definitely a must-visit. And if you’re staying in Uluwatu, you would have plenty of time to explore!
