Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort

The Resort – A luxurious cliffside oasis with unparalleled views

One of the region’s most prestigious resorts, the award-winning Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort is more than a luxurious retreat; it’s the perfect place to relax and rebalance in one of the world’s most beautiful settings. Poised on a clifftop overlooking the Indian Ocean, this sprawling 1.7-hectare resort offers a serene experience sheltered by native jungle, lush rice paddies, limestone cliffs and golden beaches.

Perfectly harmonising with its spectacular natural surrounds, terraced architecture provides ocean views from every angle, while hidden beaches and clifftop temples add to the serene ambience and laidback lifestyle. Stamped with a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2021 award and named among the Top 10 Resorts in Indonesia in Condé Nast Travelers’ 2021 Readers Choice Awards, this five-star oasis offers masterfully appointed, traditional Balinese suites, contemporary amenities and world-class facilities throughout.

Prepare to enjoy the ultimate in luxury with five award-winning restaurants and bars offering Asian, Indonesian, Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine, a traditional Balinese spa, a fully equipped fitness centre, revitalising wellness activities, theatre, private beach elevator — which takes you directly from the resort to the private sands below (subject to time and tide) — and in-suite, ocean-facing jacuzzis. Relish lazy days floating in the infinity pool or take advantage of the resort’s free shuttles to nearby beaches (subject to the hotel’s schedule).

Local Tips – Historic temples, beach clubs and Bali’s best surf

Less than an hour from Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), Uluwatu offers serene coastal beauty away from the bustle of Seminyak, Kuta and Nusa Dua.

Immerse yourself in the local culture with a visit to Uluwatu Temple, an ancient sea temple dating back to the 11th century, which boasts a dramatic clifftop position overlooking the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean. Soak up the views and meet the resident monkeys who roam the grounds.

Rub shoulders with glamorous expats and locals as you soak up the Balinese beach club scene at Ulu Cliffhouse, a chic clifftop playground where cocktails are sipped to the sound of live music overlooking the Indian Ocean, Single Fin or OMNIA.

Into surfing? The resort is ideally located above the Uluwatu surf break, one of Bali’s best spots. The world-famous Padang Padang and Impossible Reef are also within paddle from the resort.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – Daily breakfast, your choice of daily lunch or dinner, nightly cocktails, 60-minute massages and more

Each morning of your stay, ascend to the resort’s renowned 360 Rooftop restaurant to enjoy your included daily buffet breakfast. Dine on Western favourites like scrambled eggs and pancakes, plus Indonesian delicacies, while soaking up breathtaking vistas over the crashing waves below.

You’ll also enjoy a choice of daily lunch or dinner at either 360 Rooftop or Botol Biru Bar & Grill. Inspired by Indonesian, Asian and Western cuisine, 360 Rooftop offers delicious dishes including mee goreng and asam peda ikan kakap (deep-fried red snapper with chill jam). For those craving a taste of home, Western favourites like veggie bowls and pumpkin ravioli can be found at Botol Biru Bar & Grill.

Celebrate the famed Uluwatu sunsets as you savour a daily cocktail each at Botol Biru Bar & Grill. Take your pick of classics such as cosmopolitan, mai tai or pina colada, while enjoying unparalleled views over the ocean.

Rejuvenate mind, body and soul at onsite Anantara Spa, where you will be treated to one 60-minute Balinese massage per person. Relax in a tranquil oasis of calm and serenity and indulge in a heavenly treatment based around indigenous spices, local healing traditions and modern beauty.
