Bars and restaurants line the cliffs around Pura Luhur Uluwatu in Pecatu, with resorts on the southern cliffs towards Nyang Nyang.
Uluwatu takes its name from Pura Luhur Uluwatu, the sea temple on a cliff 70 metres above the water. The temple, the surf break and Single Fin are the Bukit's best-known stretch, with bars, cliff clubs and restaurants around the main corner. Alila Villas and Bvlgari are on the cliffs, and Nyang Nyang and Nunggalan beaches are further south.
The Uluwatu break, for intermediate to advanced surfers, is four waves on one reef: Outside Corner, Main Peak, Racetracks and Temples. You paddle out through a cave at the foot of the cliff, and in the dry season the line-up is crowded by 8am. Nyang Nyang is a long, steep walk down, with a wave for experienced surfers.
The temple is open from 7am to 7pm, and the Kecak dance starts at 6pm every evening. Jalan Raya Uluwatu is the one main road in, so leave extra time around sunset and the Kecak.
Pecatu · tennis and padel club
Two tennis courts and four padel courts on Jl. Raya Uluwatu, one of the few places on the Bukit where you can play tennis.
Nyang Nyang · two-court padel club
A two-court padel club at the Uluwatu Estate above Nyang Nyang, at the southern end of the Bukit, with clinics split by level, including Bronze, Silver and women's groups.
Pecatu · four-court padel club with a pool and cold plunge
Four crystal panoramic courts under a high roof on Jalan Raya Uluwatu, where every court booking includes the swimming pool and a cold plunge.
Entry is $3 (Rp 60,000) for foreign adults in 2026, sarong included. The Kecak dance is $9 (Rp 150,000), every evening from 6pm, with gates open from 4pm.
Not the Uluwatu break, which is reef for intermediate and advanced surfers. Beginners learn at Dreamland, on the right side of Balangan, or in Jimbaran's calm bay.
