The Basics

Located on the Bukit Peninsula, Uluwatu is approximately 25 kilometers from Bali’s Denpasar Airport. It is famous for the Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu), perched on a 70-meter cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. The area also boasts world-class surfing spots like Padang Padang Beach and Dreamland Beach, along with luxurious resorts and lively beach clubs.

Things to Know Before You Go

Temple Etiquette: Wear a sarong and sash, provided at the entrance, when visiting Uluwatu Temple.

Monkeys: The temple is home to mischievous monkeys; keep your belongings secure.

Sunset Performances: Don’t miss the nightly Kecak dance performance at Uluwatu Temple, starting around sunset.

Safety: If surfing, be aware of the strong currents and check tide schedules.

How to Get There

From popular areas like Seminyak or Kuta, Uluwatu is about an hour’s drive. Hiring a private car or scooter is the most convenient option. Ride-sharing apps like Grab are also available, though availability can vary. Many hotels and tour operators offer day trips to Uluwatu.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Uluwatu is during Bali’s dry season, from April to October. The weather is sunny and ideal for beach activities and outdoor exploration. Arrive at Uluwatu Temple by late afternoon to enjoy the sunset and secure good seating for the Kecak dance performance.

Day Trips from Bali

Combine a visit to Uluwatu Temple with stops at nearby beaches like Padang Padang and Bingin. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the cliffside restaurants, such as Single Fin. For an all-day adventure, add a visit to the GWK Cultural Park or the chic Sundays Beach Club for ultimate relaxation. Uluwatu’s charm makes it a perfect addition to any Bali itinerary.
