10 Of The Best Hotels and Resorts In Uluwatu Bali (January 2025 Edition)

Boasting one of the most spectacular pools on the island, Bvlgari Resort Bali is built on the edge of a cliff. Its luxurious split-level infinity pool peers almost straight down onto the beautiful Nunggalan Beach 150 metres below, and the hotel even has an elevator that drops you straight onto its white sands. There’s also a sun terrace, a gym and a spa on-site, as well as two restaurants and a beach bar. Each double-aspect room has sliding doors that open to a sun deck, a small infinity pool and uninterrupted views over the ocean.

The cosy thatched treehouses at The Korowai are highly exclusive—there are only five available after all. The adults-only four-star resort is nestled halfway down a cliff-face, and features a garden, terrace, bar and restaurant suspended across its stunning tree-top network. A short walk from Bingin Beach, Impossible Beach and Cemongkak Beach, every room at The Korowai comes with a balcony overlooking the ocean.

Bali’s only World Green Council-certified resort, Six Senses Uluwatu focuses on recycling, composting and reusing, as well as using sustainable architecture with contemporary Balinese touches. The cliffside resort is perched on the southernmost tip of Bali, where a three-terraced pool unfolds with panoramic views over the Indian Ocean. The accommodation features farm-to-table dining across two on-site restaurants, a spa with 10 treatment rooms, and a dedicated yoga pavilion. 

A 5-star hotel, set in the cliffs above Nunggalan Beach, The Edge Bali has not one but two glorious swimming pools, one of which features a glass base that hangs straight down over the tropical escarpment below. The property features an ocean-facing sun terrace, a spa and a gym, and wood-floor villas with spacious open-plan living rooms so you can admire those epic views from all angles.

Ulu Cliffhouse looks like L.A. just washed up on Bali’s rugged coastline. With one of the most striking designs on the island, the cliff-side Art Deco resort is set 30 metres above the ocean, and dotted with thatched guest bungalows. Ulu Cliffhouse has a swimming pool, sun terrace and restaurant, as well as an on-site nightclub, with massages and yoga classes available on request.

Another cliff-top destination, Alila Villas Uluwatu hangs over the rugged Alila Uluwatu beach. The accommodation is home to four on-site restaurants, including Sunset Cabana, a cocktail bar that doubles up as a dessert parlour. Designed by the award-winning Singapore architectural firm WOHA, Alila Villas Uluwatu is just a 16-minute drive from the fabulous Melasti Beach, and eight kilometres from Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park and Uluwatu Temple. Guests have access to a 24-hour gym with yoga and Pilates classes, a spa, a private art gallery, a library and two swimming pools – including a 50-metre-long infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Probably the chicest option on this list, Grün Resort Uluwatu is a sustainable 34-villa resort nestled in the top of the hills in Uluwatu. Guests stay in their own contemporary treehouse, suspended three metres off the ground with large balconies or rooftop terraces. They also have access to an opulent elevated infinity swimming pool for hangs and an on-site restaurant and bar.

Perched a super breezy 11-minute walk from Dreamland Beach, one of the most coveted beaches on the whole island, the majestic Jumeirah Bali is a luxury resort with 123 stunning villas ready for visiting. Each of them boasts views over the Indian Ocean and their own private pool. Inspired by a tranquil Javanese-Hindu water palaceb (stop it), the dream-like complex features a gym, a spa, a swimming pool, and a tropical garden for meandering through. 

Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa is a five-star hotel within spitting distance of some of the best Uluwatu attractions, including GWK Cultural Park, Uluwatu Temple and Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center. The resort’s rooms feature floating baths, plush beds and private balconies, while guests have access to four swimming pools, a spa, a gym, a bar, an on-site Indonesian diner and live music at its Roosterfish Beach Club.

A few steps from Thomas Beach, The Asa Maia is a luxury retreat with a focus on holistic wellness. It features a swimming pool, a tree-filled garden and a gym, while its host of wellness experiences include yoga, breathwork, contrast therapy and massages. The suites are inspired by centuries-old Javanese architecture, with thatched roof, wood-walled studio rooms bringing authentic Balinese charm.
