What they say

Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Pura Luhur Uluwatu sits just along the coast, where the limestone cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula meet the Indian Ocean.
The rooms
Cliff pool villas open onto private sun terraces with plunge pools looking directly out across the ocean.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wooden loungers sit beneath palm trees on the stone deck, facing straight out across the open ocean.
The spa
A hydrotherapy pool sits beneath a timber pergola, and eight treatment suites host traditional Balinese bodywork.
Yoga studio and gym
Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open the timber studio to sunlight for pranayama breathwork, beside an indoor fitness room.
At the table
Rocka serves Indonesian dishes beneath an undulating timber ceiling, and The Cliff Bar bakes wood-fired pizzas over the ocean.
How it began
An active Balinese temple stands directly on the cliff edge, incorporated into the property when it opened in 2018.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
