Who says Uluwatu is only for surfing? This 8-year OG cliff bar is the ultimate sunset spot
Think Uluwatu is just for surfing? Think again. Discover Ulu Cliffhouse, a veteran cliff bar that has been serving epic sunset views for eight years. This tropical paradise offers an unbeatable spot to watch the sun dip into the ocean from the edge of a cliff. Grab a comfy daybed, enjoy the chill music, and soak in the stunning colors of the sky. It’s a true Bali institution and the ultimate destination for an unforgettable evening.
Every time I come to Bali, my DMs get flooded with questions: which beach club has the best sunset view?
Honestly, trendy spots come and go, but for Ulu Cliffhouse to have been standing strong for 8 years[1], it's definitely got something special. Anjay, now that's a true veteran!
A Tropical Paradise on the Cliff
The moment you step in, you get that familiar Bali chill vibe. The whole club is built on the edge of a cliff, and the view is unbeatable. The music is just right, not too loud to chat with friends, but enough to make you want to groove along.
The best part, of course, is snagging a comfy daybed[2], sinking into the soft cushions, watching the sun slowly dip into the ocean as the sky turns from azure blue to orangey-pink, truly mantap[3]. You mainly come here to drink, nongkrong, and enjoy the scenery. Don't have high expectations for the food and drinks; they're pretty standard. You're mainly paying for the atmosphere and the view.
Real Talk Time
To be honest, this place is better suited for a large group of friends to party or for some kind of celebration[1]. When the vibe is right, every photo looks good. Just look at their previous 8th-anniversary celebration[3], with fireworks and performances, and you'll know how much they know how to have fun. If you're looking for a quiet place to read or just zone out, you might find it a bit noisy, after all, it's a high a** place.
A No-BS Guide
- Best Time: Arrive around 4 PM to get a good spot for the sunset.
- Throne Recommendation: If you want to completely lounge around, you must book a Daybed[2] in advance! Although there's a minimum spend, sharing it with a few friends, sipping on drinks in the sea breeze, it's totally worth it.
- Outfit Suggestion: Go all out with the island vacation style! A cover-up over your bikini, or a flowy maxi dress, is perfect for photos.
- Best For: Girl squads, groups of guys, couples on a date. In short, don't come alone, happiness is meant to be shared
