Uluwatu Villas – The Sweet View and Things to Do

Bali Uluwatu Villas – The perfect place to stay, relax and enjoy the Island

Pura Luhur Uluwatu is the best place on the island for an unforgettable sunset. Step outside of your villas in Uluwatu Bali to delve into a little spiritual island history. In Balinese, Ulu means ‘top’ and Watu means ‘stone’. Impressive views directly overlook the Indian Ocean and traditional Kecak dance performances can be witnessed in this magnificent locale. Traditional, arched gateways and centuries old sculptures adorn Pura Luhur Uluwatu, one of the 6 key temples which are considered to be the spiritual pillars of Bali. Set on a steep cliff towering 70 meters above sea level, this Uluwatu temple originates from the 10^th century, and humbly carries a rich historical narrative. Local beliefs hold that the 3 divine powers of the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Siva become as one on these spiritual grounds. Siva is the Balinese Hindu deity of every aspect and element of universal life. Pura Uluwatu thus exists as a place of worship of Siva, as well as a protective fortress guarding Bali from evil spirits of the sea. Pura Luhur Uluwatu also has many monkeys residing in the little forest within, who are revered as guardians of the temple. A one hour stroll will transport you from one side of the temple to the other, and you can stop at multiple viewing points to gaze down at where the powerful waves and stubborn rocks collide, or out to the endless ocean horizon.

If the perfect surfing beach was crystallized in the form of a perfect gemstone, then Uluwatu is the treasure chest overflowing with precious jewels. Bingin, Padang-Padang, and Pandawa Beach sparkle along the many clandestine corners hidden among the cliffs and crests of Uluwatu. Some of these beaches are more easily accessible than others, but always worth the journey. These beaches are the reason surfers, international celebrities and of course YOU come to Bali!

You Uluwatu Villa is on the door step on Bali’s finest and most secluded beaches

When you venture out from your villas Uluwatu, Padang-Padang can be reached by parking in a discreet paved lot and then by crossing the street into a modest little Balinese temple. Be prepared to get checked out by the resident macaques. They’ll quickly get bored of you and carry on their monkey business. The view from the temple is already mind-blowing. From here a flight of natural stone steps navigate you through an echoing cave, and as you emerge into the light you quickly discern an image of staggering beauty. A sweeping stretch of white sand unfolds before you and the crystal blue waters lap to shore on your left. Advanced surfers love Padang-Padang for the consistent swells while beach lovers delight in the serenity of seclusion.

If you don’t surf, you don’t have to feel left out of the water sport activities. Villas in Uluwatu, Bali are so close to Pandawa Beach, which is great for casual swimming and water sports like jet skiing. Having only been officially opened in 2012, Panda Beach has rapidly gained popularity among weekend locals and worldwide travelers. 1,000 meters of smooth snowy sand and indigo surf are dramatically framed by a gorgeous backdrop of huge limestone walls.

Bingin Beach is another phrase that will have the ears of pro surfers perk up. A tranquil, limestone fringed shoreline acts as the island’s gates against enormous swells and a reef break that should only be exploited by advanced surfers. The barrels are short but consistent, creating a challenge most riders will be determined to tackle. However, during low tides non-surfers and snorkelers can enjoy the glassy seawater for a refreshing swim. When coming from Uluwatu villas, Bingin Beach is just a few minutes north.
