Hotels Near Uluwatu Temple in Bali

The Asa Maia is such a wonderful place to stay that we stayed there once in February and again in March. I would highly recommend. First of all, I think Uluwatu is the best area to stay in all of Bali. It is not nearly as crowded as the other well known locations, has beautiful beaches, great restaurants and an overall good vibe. The Asa Maia is ideally located and an easy walk to many areas of interest. The staff is exceptional from the owner to the gardeners. Great care has been taken to make this place special. Morning and afternoon yoga, amazing restaurant overlooking the pool, contrast therapy (cold plunge), infrared sauna, breath work, massage, etc. The communal table makes it easy to get to know others guests if you like. I could go on and on, but this is one of the best places we have ever stayed.

We have recently returned from a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable 10 night vacation at Vivara Private Pool Villas & Spa Retreat in Jimbaran, Bali. Our aim was to get away from our busy life and take a complete break. The resort comprises 48 beautiful, private, self-contained pool villas, most of which are one or two-bedroom. Each villa is like your own home-away-from home, with pool decking and lounges, an alfresco kitchen bungalow (with a daily replenishment of non-alcoholic drinks in the mini bar), outdoor rain shower and bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with lounge area. It is clear that the resort aims to make every guest’s experience as comfortable as possible. As we were so comfortable in our villa, we were determined not to become complete ‘holiday recluses’ and, despite room service being the option for many of the guests, we always walked to the poolside restaurant for breakfast each morning, afternoon tea every second day, before feasting on a fabulous evening dining experience on alternate evenings. Needless to say, we did not leave Vivara hungry! The resort is like a small community, and staff are more than happy to transport you to and from your villa using golf buggies, or you can take advantage of the communal bikes and scooters and ride around the resort pathways. Additionally, a complimentary shuttle service to and from Jimbaran Beach is available, and times are customised to guests, creating a very personalised and welcome service. Being a spa retreat, we indulged in five deep tissue massages each, and they were a highlight of our stay. The private bungalows are built in a traditional Balinese style, are quiet and calming, and the masseuses provided a comfortable, relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Thank you, so much. The heart of the resort, though, is the staff. They were all, without exception, incredibly friendly, helpful, and always keen to converse and learn about their guests, or share their insights into Bali. We cannot recommend the Vivara staff highly enough. Thank you, Keke, and all your staff, for making our stay so enjoyable. We loved being immersed in the Balinese style of the resort, and Vivara did not disappoint as the ideal place for us to unwind and relax. We have no hesitation in recommending Vivara to any visitors searching for the same experience.

I first saw this place upon listing and caught my eye. It did seem a little absurd such a low price for the quality, by looking at the photos. I booked somewhere else for my first night also in Jimbaran. The second day I couldn’t resist the urge to book this place, and I not one bit regret my decision. Location is very easy to find, close to the main road which has convenience stores. Which is rare in this area, previously I stayed at Le Meridian and there was not one place where i could find an iPhone charger within 7km. Entrance is classy and nice, reception enthusiastically helped me with luggage and check in. After the process taking me to my villa. It was a nice walk, felt like I was in fairytale, greenery refreshing and truly made me feel like I am experiencing the essence of Bali. “Traditional Bali style” he told me. My villa was steep down the hills, which were all the one bedroom villas. At first I wasn’t happy about where it is located and asked for a higher unit. But once upon entering the residence I was completely shook. It went above and beyond my expectations, truly. The place was sparkling clean and view outside made me smile from the inside out. Not to dramatically pipe up the place but I felt they way underpriced the daily rate! The privacy is without complaint, especially for someone like me which is important. You are in the jungle in a luxurious treehouse. How much better can life get. Private pool is refreshing, freeflow running water; clean and clear. Bedroom is downstairs, going in is the most romantic woodlock bed and unfortunately I’m single but would be the most perfect for couples. Bathroom is ethnic and delicate. Spacious and well designed with a giant bathtub. Bath and toilet are separated, thank god. The night of I had the best sleep in a long long time. If one thing I had to complain would be the wifi, which for someone who works online can be frustrating.

My family and I have stayed here on a few occasions as well as other 5-star resorts, but we prefer Movenpick. The architecture is appealing from the outside to the inside. The rooms are large and well appointed with a large Bali bathtub, natural stone accents and color palette. Linens are luxurious, which include down comforters and oversized pillows. Service is superior to most Bali resorts. From the personal interaction with Maicel at the front desk to the servers in the restaurant & pool side bar….all creating a memorable & personal stay. Thank you Movenpick employees. We’ll see you in a few months for another great experience.

Amazing resort with private swimming pool and jacuzzi. Perfect for couples who want to chill and relax in the resort. Love the room size and atmosphere.

Kanishka provided us with the ideal holiday in Bali! It is centrally located in Seminyak. Just walk out the door and there are all the shops, restaurants and facilities. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. Our room came with a private pool. The staff are friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Kanishka!

Magnificent Ball. Magnificent hotel that will highlight the joy of staying on the island. Excellent location, beautiful view, new rooms, wonderful breakfasts (buffet + order European and local cuisine, we tried almost all the local dishes from the menu, it was very tasty), but the most important thing is the people working in the hotel. They are always ready to help with any little thing, very friendly and kind. This improves the mood throughout the day. I celebrated my birthday during my stay, I was very nicely congratulated. On the roof there is a swimming pool with an Instagram view. Open until 10 pm. It's a 5-minute walk to the sea. There are plenty of restaurants and shops around. The evening life is nearby, but the hotel is built in such a way that it does not interfere.

Had quite a nice stay at Manca villa in Canggu during our 5 nights stay in September 2023. Here are some positives and negatives from our experience. Positive: - Friendly young driven staffs - Quiet location off the main road - Super comfortable bed (firm side) and really really good sleep - Quite beautiful and good villa concept, excellent lighting inside bedroom - Good TV with all the major streaming services - Easy and walkable to get to the main streets Negative: - Staffs were attentive but at times, there would be no one at the reception - We noticed some wood dusts around the villa (possible termite droppings) - The shower area is not the cleanest. Yellow stains on shower walls and wonky floor tiles - The bathroom is semi outdoor so naturally, it's prone to ants and mosquitoes - Pool can be cleaner - In the kitchen area, the cutting board really need to be clean (had red stains all over) - Not enough cutlery provided, had to request for more - Towels with stains and smell of cigarette smoke (for 2 days the hotel ran out of hand towels and towels due to laundry delay, offered pool towels instead) - Main sliding doors are worn out and need to be serviced - Overall, need more attention to detail and up keeping :)

Tucked away in a quaint village far from the maddening crowds in Canggu et al, this is a retreat to recharge and get away from it all. The property is architecturally interesting and the room is unusually vertical, designed as a treehouse, with a bathtub and open air relaxing area at the top. The infinity pool is surprisingly deep, and there is a natural cascading waterfall right in front of it. Absolutely hidden gem of a place.

Bernie and I stayed at Akah Cottages for just under a week and were pleasantly surprised by the high level of hospitality and customer service provided by the owner and her staff. The rooms were beautifully maintained and demonstrated a love for the property itself. We had dinner one night at the restaurant and the home-cooked meals were authentic and delicious. After staying at supposed '5-star' accommodation back in Bali, these ritzy hotels didn't come close to Akah in terms of true attention to detail, care and customer service. Our host was lovely and we will definitely be coming back. Thanks for taking such good care of us! Olivia & Bernie
