Introduction to Uluwatu
Uluwatu is something of a jewel in Bali’s crown, renowned for its stunning cliffs, turquoise waters, and laid-back, ‘surfy’ vibe. Beyond its natural beauty, Uluwatu is rich in Balinese culture, offering visitors a chance to explore ancient temples, traditional dances, and local art. There are so many Uluwatu activities to choose from, your only challenge will be fitting them all in.
Where Is Uluwatu?
Located on Bali’s southern Bukit Peninsula, Uluwatu is approximately a 45-minute drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport. Its proximity to popular hubs like Seminyak and Kuta makes it an accessible escape from the busier, more touristy areas.
Did you know? While most people think Uluwatu encompasses a large region of the Bukit Peninsula in southern Bali, it is, in reality, just a small village at the end of the Jalan Uluwatu, where you will find the Uluwatu temple. What is usually referred to as Uluwatu is predominantly the Pecatu area and a part of the Jimbaran and Ungasan areas. The famous Padang Padang and Bingin beaches are actually in Pecatu, and the GWK Cultural Park is in Ungasan!
