Where to Stay in Uluwatu: Best Hotels by Area & Budget

Anantara sits between Padang Padang and Bingin, built into the cliffs with open views of the ocean. Rooms are large with floor-to-ceiling windows, modern Balinese design, and deep soaking tubs. Some come with private plunge pools or terraces.

The rooftop restaurant is popular at sunset, and there’s a spa, gym, and a glass elevator that takes you down to a rocky stretch of beach. It feels like a resort, but you’re close enough to surf spots and cafes if you want to head out.

• Best for: Couples who want a quiet space with easy access to the beach and cafes
• Why book it: Ocean views, rooftop dining, close to Padang Padang.
