2025 Uluwatu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#folkactivities #100WaysOfTravel Witness the mesmerizing Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Temple’s amphitheater, where the rhythmic chants of over 70 men create an enchanting atmosphere against the backdrop of a stunning sunset. This traditional Balinese performance, depicting the epic tale of Ramayana, is a captivating blend of culture, art, and nature. As the sun dips below the horizon, the temple’s cliffside location offers breathtaking views, making the experience even more magical. Don’t miss this unique cultural spectacle that beautifully showcases Bali’s rich heritage and the island’s natural beauty.

Uluwatu, located on the southern coast of Bali, is one of the most beautiful places on the island. Known for its cliffs and stunning sea views, this unique coastline has become a popular spot for watching sunsets! It is also home to the famous Uluwatu Temple, with an entrance fee of 50,000 IDR. The temple hosts renowned performances, and it is recommended to purchase tickets online for redemption! This trip to Uluwatu was planned using Trip.com's popular rankings.

As Alila’s global flagship store, Uluwatu lives up to its reputation! The unique design concept, bold location, unique and amazing views, all-villa guest room configuration and warm and thoughtful service are all the reasons why I chose it! But the most important thing is that Alila Uluwatu is so photogenic that you can take photos with your phone! There aren't many varieties of breakfast, but the taste is good overall. The service is very good. They always ask for something and are proactive and enthusiastic. We had lunch at a local restaurant all day. The ordering was average, but it's worth mentioning that the service was also very enthusiastic and they sent a lot of side dishes. We had Western food for dinner one day. The taste was good overall. Black tiger prawns and pizza steak are both recommended. You can wait for the sunset in the birdcage from 5:30 to 6:00 every morning. The price of cocktails is also very conscientious, about 120 per cup. If you are a guest, it doesn't matter if you only order water to occupy a seat! Alila has built a small path to the bottom of the cliff, which feels pretty good. It takes about an hour to go back and forth. There is no beach, only reefs. The water is relatively clear, with many large black rocks and many caves washed by sea water. It's a bit magical. Hotel: Villa Alila in Ruwatu

I already wanted to live there when I saw this before This time my friend booked and invited me to go😍 The main tone of the whole accommodation design is orange and pink With the Morocco I've been to it seems every detail is beautiful There is a public pool in the middle where you can sunbathe The restaurant is also very vibes portions are very large If you like this style like me remember to book it 📍Terra Cottages Bali, Uluwatu #Bali #familygoodplace #summergoodplace

That’s the first thought that came to mind when I discovered this Cliff in Uluwatu. There really no signs on the roads showing that there is a magnificent cliff nearby so it’s kinda tricky to find but once you do, you’ll be sure to agree that checking it out wasn’t a mistake. Use any map application and type “Batu Jaran Cliff/Hill” There’s no official entrance or gate there so entrance is free, you can go with a motorbike/car and leave it nearby whilst you observe the view of a lifetime. If you’re lucky you could also observe some turtles swimming as you look down on the waves. If you’re ever in Uluwatu be sure to check out ‘Batu Jaran Cliff’ #MyTripVlog #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #campingglamping #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #bucketlistreboot #bali #balitravel #uluwatu #batujarancliff

#Cafe with a good view #Bali travel #Cafe recommendation Tapas del Mar, a pretty Balinese cafe with a pinkish sensibility💕 I happened to come across this place while wandering around the streets?ㅋㅋ The pinkish colors really caught my eye, so I took a seat without even realizing itㅋㅋ The cafe is like an indoor space, and it's a place where you can enjoy coffee and a light lunch☕️ No matter where you sit, you'll be hit by the pinkish Balinese sensibility view The inside and outside of the cafe are both pretty, so you can take as many pictures as you want~ If you especially like the color pink, be sure to stop by!💘 📍Tapas del Mar Uluwatu

One of the most viral beaches on Instagram recently It is nunggalan beach Because there is a graffitied broken boat on the beach When the tide is high the waves can wash up to the hull Unfortunately the tide had receded when we visited this time But the view is still beautiful and perfect for photography and sunbathing But be aware that you have to walk a mountain road to get to this one beach! 📍Nunggalan Beach, uluwatu #OverseasTravel #Bali

Uluwatu is located in the south of Bali. Since we stayed in a hotel in Kuta, we hired a driver for a day to explore Uluwatu. The drive from Kuta to Uluwatu takes about 30-60 minutes depending on a traffic. Upon arrival we started walking down the cliff passing by cute shops, cozy cafes and nice restaurants. Make sure to check the tide, because you can walk around the corals and go all the way down the cliff if you arrive during low tide. If you arrive during high tide, it will be filled with water and you won’t get the change to see the corals and walk around at the bottom the cliff. Once we were done, we started heading back up, we stopped at some cute shops to buy souvenirs and clothes. Since it was already almost sunset, we decided to have dinner at the Single Fin. We chose a table overlooking the cliff with a spectacular view of the breaking waves and sunset 🌅. I ordered chicken mushroom pasta and coca-cola. The food was delicious and the view was simply stunning. Enjoy your trip to Uluwatu and have a great day 😊 #gooutside #bali #uluwatu #travel #foodie #awesomepic #beachlife #passionpassport #indonesia #naturalwonders

#springitinerary #bali #thingstodo #travel #naturalwonders There are views that take your breath away — and then there's Uluwatu. Perched high above the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean, standing at the edge of this iconic cliffside feels like touching the sky. As I gazed out over the endless blue horizon, the world fell silent. The ocean stretched out in every direction, its powerful waves colliding with the rocks below in a symphony of sound and spray. It’s not just beautiful — it’s humbling. Nature here doesn’t whisper; it roars, reminding you just how vast and wild this island truly is. With the sun beginning its descent, the cliffs were bathed in golden light, and everything seemed to glow — the ancient Uluwatu Temple standing watch, the jagged cliffs cast in silhouette, and the ocean sparkling like liquid gold. Every step along the edge felt like a meditation, each view more stunning than the last. It’s more than a photo spot. It’s a feeling — of stillness, freedom, and something deeply sacred. Uluwatu isn’t just a destination; it’s a moment of awe suspended between earth and sea. If there’s one place in Bali that truly captures the island’s raw, untamed beauty — Uluwatu Cliffside is it.

Bali is an island with hidden gems. We traveled a lot around the island and saw the most amazing places. The first one I would highlight is Uluwatu Temple. It is located above the sea on a steep cliff. There are many monkeys near the temple, so you need to keep an eye on your belongings. The second place is the Jatiluwih rice terraces. They have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2012. Initially, we came there for an hour, but we ended up spending half a day. It’s very pleasant to walk along the paths, breathe in the purest air, and enjoy the picturesque views. #travel#beachlife#seascapes

Escaped to a stunning hotel in Uluwatu, Bali, where every moment felt like a postcard. Spent my days savoring the most delicious oysters, swimming in the crystal-clear ocean, and soaking up the sun at the most vibrant beach clubs. From the breathtaking views to the laid-back luxury, this getaway was everything I needed and more! #balitrip #balitravel #uluwatu 📍Address: Hideaway Villas Bali Uluwatu by Kanaan Hospitality

Spending my 3 nights getaway trip with a cliff view in Bali, Indonesia. #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #naturalwonders #bali #uluwatu #staycation

I recently spent an unforgettable holiday in Bali to celebrate my birthday, and it was truly the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and culinary delight. One of the highlights was visiting Uluwatu, where I experienced a unique waterfall floating activity. It was absolutely magical — drifting peacefully in clear, cool water surrounded by natural beauty felt like a dream. Uluwatu itself is stunning, with dramatic cliffs and breathtaking ocean views. I also made sure to catch the sunset from the famous Uluwatu Temple, which added a spiritual touch to my journey. Another amazing moment was chilling at Finns Beach Club. The vibe was super lively — great music, amazing cocktails, and an unbeatable view of the ocean. I spent hours there just relaxing, sipping drinks by the pool, and enjoying the sunset. It’s definitely one of the best beach clubs I’ve ever been to! For my birthday dinner, I dined at Cuca in Jimbaran, and it was such a special experience. The food was creative and absolutely delicious — every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was intimate and cozy, perfect for a celebration. Bali exceeded all my expectations. The people were kind, the scenery was breathtaking, and there was never a dull moment. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and well-rounded vacation. I’m already dreaming of going back! #travel #bali #indonesia

#favouriteitinerary Uluwatu Temple is a stunning clifftop temple with breathtaking ocean views. The atmosphere is vibrant, especially during sunset when the sky turns golden. It’s a great spot to experience Balinese culture, with traditional Kecak dance performances in the evening. But beware—cheeky monkeys roam around and love snatching sunglasses, hats, and even phones! Hold onto your belongings while enjoying the beauty of this iconic temple. #uluwatu #travel

#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere #bali Uluwatu during the day is a living testament to the awe-inspiring artistry of nature. As I stood atop its dramatic cliffs, gazing at the endless expanse of the Indian Ocean, I couldn’t help but feel humbled by the sheer power and beauty of this place. The turquoise waves crashing against the rugged rocks below created a mesmerizing symphony, while the sea breeze carried a sense of peace. Exploring the iconic Uluwatu Temple under the bright sun revealed intricate carvings and panoramic views that were simply breathtaking. Travel tip: Visit mid-morning to avoid the midday heat and take your time strolling along the cliffside paths. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, and your camera—you’ll want to capture every angle of this natural wonder. Uluwatu is a daytime destination that leaves you in awe of nature’s grandeur.

#beachtime Bali, this sea is fortunate to be here. Uluwatu is my favorite place in Seminyak, with the most primitive natural scenery and even the sea in gradient colors. Who said Bali doesn't have a jelly sea? The restaurant is Roosterfish, which is so niche that it can't be any more niche. There aren't many people starting to lie flat and enjoy the beauty of the world. Life advice to go to this island to enjoy the life and natural sensations Comfortable island life is key to relax from worries Spring Vacation is good time to run from cold weather For me I called it Healing island life of Soul!! #trip #beaches #bali #localguides #familytrip

The beautiful scenery of Uluwatu is very attractive. This time we chartered a car for a whole day. The itinerary was rich and worthwhile! However, because I neglected sun protection, I was directly "taught a lesson" by the sun. I would like to share some experience with you, hoping that you can have fun more easily! 🏝️ Itinerary 1. Uluwatu Cliff It is best to arrive at 9-10 am, when there are few people and the scenery is beautiful, and you can easily take a photo! The cliff scenery against the blue sky is very stunning, and the blue sky and white clouds at noon are also very suitable for taking pictures~ 2. Lunch at the cliff restaurant We chose a cliff restaurant and enjoyed the Indian Ocean while eating. The scenery is beautiful! Recommended: Seafood platter + tropical juice, very suitable for holiday atmosphere~ Suggestion: It may be a bit sunny at noon, remember to choose a cool place or apply sunscreen. 3. Uluwatu Temple The temple on the cliff has a unique view, but the monkeys are really naughty. We saw a tourist's earrings being pulled away! Tips: Keep your glasses and accessories away, and don’t hold snacks in your hands~ 4. Padang Padang Beach Finally, we went to this small beach, the filming location of the movie “Eat Pray Love”. It was super relaxing to walk barefoot on the fine sand, but because I didn’t apply much sunscreen, I got sunburned! Everyone must pay attention to sun protection! 🚗 Charter travel experience Flexible time: Uluwatu attractions are scattered, chartering a car is very convenient, and the driver will help you optimize the route. High cost performance: The driver recommended by my friend was very reliable and provided considerate service. We also gave him a tip in the end. 🌟 Notes 1. Make sure to protect yourself from the sun! Not only is sunscreen necessary, but hats, sunglasses, and thin long sleeves are also necessary. We didn't pay attention to sun protection at the time, and when we returned to the hotel we found that our skin was sunburned and painful, and some places were even sunburned. It was too late to take remedial measures! 2. Monkey Temple Protection Monkeys are very agile, so it is best to keep small items such as glasses and earrings away. 3. Beach time selection The light in the afternoon is gentle and more suitable for taking photos. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.

Gorgeous Uluwatu, amazing smokes and crystal blue ocean
