13 Stunning Uluwatu Beaches, Bali – The Ultimate Guide
Are you heading to Bali and want to know where are the most gorgeous beaches? I’ve written this article with you in mind. I’m giving you a guide to my top 13 favourite Uluwatu beaches with insider tips on how to get there and what to expect. Enjoy the read!
Uluwatu Beaches- useful tips
Some of the best beaches in Bali are located to the south of Denpasar, where the international airport is located on the Bukit Peninsula. There is something for every taste and budget. From small, quiet and intimate to stylish, hip and private beach clubs.
Bali – best time to visit
Bali climate is tropical, warm and humid with two main seasons to consider – dry and rainy seasons. The temperature in Bali oscillates around 30 degrees.
The rainy season starts in November and lasts until March. If you want to make the most of Bali’s beaches, I would avoid this time.
July, August as well as Easter and Christmas are considered high season. It’s the time when Bali gets the highest number of visitors. Beaches are crowded, traffic may get unbearable and accommodation prices are the highest.
Between April and June and September to October, crowds are lighter and hotel prices cheaper. Those months are still within the dry season with blue skies and clear water, perfect for scuba diving, snorkelling and other water sports.
On my last trip to Bali, which was in June, the sky was blue every day and I witnessed the most stunning sunsets of the year.

Uluwatu motorbike rental
The most convenient and cheapest way to visit Uluwatu beaches is to rent a motorbike. Rental shops are widely available throughout Uluwatu and Jimbaran areas. You can contact your hotel/hostel to arrange this for you ahead of your arrival. They can also advise you about the rental services closest to your accommodation.
Things to check
If it’s your first time, make sure you are shown how to operate your scooter. Check that breaks and lights work correctly. Always wear a helmet! Remember to drive on the left side (same as in the UK).
If you need to top up your fuel, petrol is sold in glass bottles on the side of the road. It’s cheap but doesn’t last very long. Always make sure you’ve got enough petrol to come back to your accommodation.
If you’re planning to watch the sunset, remember that you’ll be coming back in the dark, again make sure your lights work and your phone has enough battery so that you can use maps and get safely back to your hotel. Also, after dark, there is way more traffic so if you’re not so confident, consider another mode of transport.
All beaches can be found on Google Maps and are relatively easy to navigate to. When you’re on your motorbike, don’t look at your phone but put your headphones on and listen to the audio navigation. Read the next section on how to get cheap internet in Bali.
Price – 60,000-90,000 IDR per day
Uluwatu beaches by car
If you don’t want to rent a scooter you can get to places by ordering a taxi through Gojek or Grab. Simply download their apps to your smartphone. You can register your credit card, but cash is the preferred payment method while using these apps.
Car rental
Another alternative is to rent a car for the duration of your stay in Uluwatu and Bali. You can arrange this before your trip and pick up your car at Denpasar Airport.
SIM card
The cheapest way to use the internet on your phone in Bali is to get a local SIM card. You can choose, how many GBs you want and the card costs around $5. Best places to buy your card are specialised SIM shops, where you can buy your internet top up and they will set everything up on your phone so you don’t need to worry.
Be aware! SIM cards sold at the airport are a lot more expensive. Also, when you get a taxi from Denpasar Airport, your driver may stop in a shop for you to buy one. The prices of those SIM cards are at least 5 times more expensive and your ‘helpful’ driver gest a cut for bringing you to the store. Simply, politely turn down the offer and ask the driver to take you to your accommodation without any more detours.
Uluwatu Beaches Tour
If you’re pressed for time but still want to experience best Uluwatu beaches, take an organised tour. It will bring you to top spots in Uluwatu hassle-free.
Best Uluwatu Beaches – Map
1. Suluban Beach Bali
How to get here
Suluban beach also called Blue Point beach is located at the very South-West tip of the Bukit Peninsula in Pecatu Village. It’s about 30 min drive from Denpasar Airport. Other close beaches to Suluban are Thomas Beach and Padang Padang.
When you arrive, there is a 5,000 IDR parking charge for your scooter or 15,000 IDR for a car. Once you parked up, follow the stairs down to get to the beach. On the way down, there are various cafes where you can take a break and many interesting souvenir shops, which makes the strenuous walk down more attractive and even enjoyable!
Things to do at Suluban beach
- Take a selfie. When you get to the bottom you quickly notice that the beach is very popular with surfers and Instagram influencers posing for that perfect shot.
- Explore the cave. The beach is best explored at the low tide time when you can safely explore the cave and another smaller beach that becomes accessible during the low tide.
- Take a walk instead of swimming. The beach is not really for lounging and there is lots of coral and rocks which make it hard to swim.
- Take in the fascinating view. Watch the waves breaking on the cliffs and the surfers riding the wild waves.
- Watch the sunset in style. Arrive at the beach late afternoon and on your way back watch the spectacular sunset from one of the chic Uluwatu beach clubs!
Probably one of the most famous ones is the Single Fin beach club. Watching the sunset from this place is a worthy bucket list experience. The view over the Indian Ocean with dramatic cliffs is to die for. You can order a drink (65,000 IDR for a small Bintang) or take a dip in the pool while watching the surfers doing their thing.

2. Dreamland Beach Bali
How to get there
Dreamland beach is located on the western side of the Bukit Peninsula between Padang Padang and Balangan beaches. There is a 5,000 IDR fee to park your scooter like on most beaches in Bali. To get to the beach, just walk the path leading down the cliff.
Things to do
- Take a walk. This beach is one of my favourite in Bali. It’s got fine, white sand and the beach is wide great for strolling down and exploring its natural beauty.
- Take a refreshing dip in the sea and play with the waves. It’s got fewer rocks than other beaches in Bali and it’s not as shallow during the low tide. Having said that, waves are still crazy so it’s more playing with massive waves rather than swimming. But it’s great fun! If you’re not a very strong swimmer, be mindful of the sea conditions and make a judgement before you go for a swim.
- Sunbath. The beach has plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas to rent (I paid 100,000 IDR). You will need to negotiate the price based on how long you want to stay there. There are toilet facilities and shops to grab a drink and a light bite
- Surf. The beach is also great for surfing and there is a rental shop on the beach too.
- Get a foot massage on the beach.

To get to the beach, you will need to hike down the steep path for about 20 min. The path is not the safest and may not be suitable for elderly but if you are fairly fit without mobility issues, you will be fine. Wear some proper footwear- trainers or sandals with straps. The descent starts at the paragliding site.
Things to do
- Enjoy the serenity. If you’re a fan of secluded, peaceful beaches then look no further. You are very likely to enjoy this place with only a few other people at most.

- Make a picnic! The beach doesn’t have any shops so take your tasty snacks and plenty of water. Remember to carry back all your litter.
- On the way down or on your way back up, there is a café where you can rest and enjoy some incredible view!
- Nyang Nuang beach is only 5 min drive from the Uluwatu temple. After the beach, visit the temple. I highly recommend staying there to watch the sunset!
- Paraglide over the beach.

There is no parking fee here (which is rare amongst Uluwatu beaches), just leave your scooter by the small Warung on the cliff and walk down the steep path to the left, down to the beach. The descent is not too bad, the track is decent and it takes about 10-15 min.
What to expect
The beach is small and relatively quiet. There is a small cave where you can sit if you prefer to be in the shade.

- Watch the sunset. The sunsets in Uluwatu are one of the most epic I have ever seen! Have a Bintang and enjoy this simple pleasure.
- Have a BBQ at sunset. There are plenty of warungs where you can have fresh food from a BBQ at sunset time. The beach is not as touristy as other Bali beaches so you can enjoy its serenity. My favourite was Kelly’s Warung where you can enjoy great smoothie bowls, wraps, juices and Indonesian cuisine. The best thing about this place is that is right in front of where the wave breaks and all the surfing action happens!
