Tired of climbing endless stairs for that perfect Uluwatu sunset? Discover Uma Beach House on Melasti Beach, offering direct, elegant access to the sand. This chill spot is perfect for dates or family outings, with a relaxed vibe, live saxophone music, and golden Indian Ocean views. The menu features Japanese-Peruvian (Nikkei) cuisine with fresh seafood highlights. It's the ultimate hassle-free sunset experience, but be sure to book your spot in advance at this popular new Hilton gem.
Every time I tell my friends I'm going to Uluwatu to watch the sunset, their first reaction is always,"Gotta climb again?" Anjay… If you know, you know. For those gorgeous cliff views, you just have to accept climbing all those stairs. But this time, I really dug up an exception! Right on Melasti Beach, Uma Beach House by Hilton Umana actually lets me stroll elegantly from the entrance straight to the sand. It's a total lifesaver for lazy people, right?! [1]
The vibe here isn't a huge dance party, but more of a super comfy Chill & Nongkrong mode, perfect for bringing family or for a date night [2]. In the evening, the sunset paints the entire Indian Ocean gold, and the sound of a live saxophone comes from the poolside. The atmosphere is absolutely maxed out, Mantap! [3]
The food follows the Japanese-Peruvian (Nikkei) route, which is pretty interesting. The salmon in the Poke Bowl[4] I ordered was incredibly fresh, and the sauce was perfectly balanced. My friend's Fried Squid Rings (Calamari)[5] was also a total hit, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. As a seafood lover, I can say their Oysters[6] are also seriously good, super fresh!
But let's be real, after all the praise, I have to complain a bit. The portion sizes are generally on the small side, especially the seafood platter. For 550k IDR, you only get a few thin slices of sashimi and one or two shrimp. The value for money feels a bit low, and it's definitely not enough to fill the gaps between your teeth for two people to share [7]. Also, their Octopus[8] gets very mixed reviews. I didn't dare to try it this time, afraid it would be a miss. If any of you have tried it, let me know in the comments!
Editor's Key Points (Get your notebooks ready!)
- Do you have to pay for the lounge chairs? The daybeds have a minimum spend, starting from around 1,800,000 IDR[9], but it can be fully redeemed for food and drinks. When you think about it, lying around all day watching a world-class sunset is actually a pretty good deal.
- You must make a reservation! This place gets super popular when the weather is good, so you have to book in advance to get a good spot.
- Money-saving tip: If you're a Hilton Honors member, remember to show your status for a 10% discount! [10]
- Who is this for? Couples looking to relax, families with kids who don't want too much chaos, and friends looking for a beautiful place to Nongkrong. If you're looking for a wild party, this might not be the place for you.
