Places to see in Uluwatu

Beach club on a private white-sand cove below Ungasan, reached by inclined lift. Snorkelling, kayaks, and bonfires after dark.

Spanish clifftop club west of Bingin with a pool hanging over the Indian Ocean. Sunset is the whole point; book a table for it.

White-sand cove at the foot of the Ungasan cliffs, reached by an inclinator from the resort above. Access is paid and usually needs booking.

Wide, near-empty beach below a steep jungle track, with the rusted hull of a wrecked freighter sitting on the sand. The walk back up is the hard part.

Sea temple on a sheer 70m cliff at Bali's southwestern tip, famous for its sunset kecak fire dance.

Cliffside cove with a barrelling reef break, reached by steep stairs down from the clifftop warungs.

Secluded cove beach with tide-pool caves, reached via a long stone staircase down the cliff.

Long, largely undeveloped beach reached down a steep jungle path — one of the Bukit's quietest.

Small cove beach reached through a cave-like rock passage, famous surf break and a Eat Pray Love filming spot.

Long stretch of white sand reached by a stairway cut into the cliff, quieter than the surf beaches on either side.

Laid-back surf beach lined with simple warungs, a mellower alternative to Bingin next door.

Wide white-sand beach with a punchy beach break, one of the Bukit's more accessible beaches.

Restaurant and bar on the cliff road near the temple, looking down the coast — the closest proper dinner to the kecak performance.

Turquoise-water beach below towering limestone cliffs, road cut directly into the rock face.

Clifftop bar overlooking Uluwatu's main surf break, a sunset-drinks institution.

Dramatic cliff-cave beach access with a world-class left-hand surf break just offshore.

Garden café in Bingin, a short walk from the beach path — bowls and burgers by day, a live-music night midweek.

All-day café in Pecatu doing breakfast, pizza and coffee — the Bukit's everyday room rather than a clifftop occasion.

Clifftop lookout on the Bukit's western edge where the land stops in a sheer drop to the sea. No railing and no shade — come for sunset, bring water.
