Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort
Uluwatu, Indonesia · Anantara · High Luxury
In June 2013 Anantara opened seventy-three suites, pool villas, and penthouses cascading down the Bukit cliff directly above Bali's Impossibles surf break. Every room faces the Indian Ocean, and a private cliff elevator drops guests to Impossible Beach when the tide allows. The spa sits in a rice-barn pavilion at the edge, close enough that treatments run with the sound of the reef.
- 73 rooms
- Opened 2013
- Neighborhood: Pecatu
About Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort
- A 2020 refurbishment redid the suites with Bose sound systems and Jacuzzi terraces cantilevered over the cliff.
- World Travel Awards named it Bali's Leading Villa Resort in 2025; Condé Nast Traveller readers ranked it 8th among the world's hotels that year.
- Private surf lessons run with Rip Curl School of Surfing; Bingin Beach is about seventeen minutes on foot along the Bukit.
History
A cliff-edge resort on Bali's Bukit Peninsula overlooking the Impossibles surf break.
Opened in 2013 directly above the Impossibles surf break on Bali's Bukit Peninsula, Anantara Uluwatu's 75 suites, pool villas, and penthouses cascade down the cliff face — every room faces the Indian Ocean, and a private cliffside elevator descends guests to Impossible Beach when the tide permits.
The setting
Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort unfolds on Jalan Pemutih in Pecatu, Kuta Selatan — a cliffside address on the Bukit Peninsula where terraced architecture ensures Indian Ocean views from every level. The resort sits directly above the Impossibles surf break, accessible by private beach stairs, while Bingin Beach — one of the Bukit's most photogenic hidden coves — is seventeen minutes on foot. The sacred Pura Luhur Uluwatu, the 11th-century sea temple that guards Bali's southwestern coast, lies a few kilometres along the ridge. Jumeirah Bali is 1.7 kilometres away, confirming the Pecatu escarpment as a firmly established address for clifftop luxury resorts that prize dramatic ocean sightlines and world-class surf culture over urban convenience. 2 km from Padang Padang beach.
