Things to Do Near Uluwatu, Bingin & Umalas

Our villas sit in three of the most loved corners of Bali. The Bukit Peninsula (Uluwatu and Bingin) is all about cliffs, turquoise water and world-class surf. Umalas is greener and calmer, with rice fields and easy access to Canggu and Seminyak. Here is how to spend your days, whichever you choose.

Uluwatu & Bingin

• Uluwatu Temple at sunset: a clifftop sea temple with one of the most dramatic sunset views on the island, plus the traditional Kecak fire dance in the evening.
• Bingin Beach: take the stairs down the cliff to a small reef beach with tide pools, warungs and a relaxed surf crowd.
• Padang Padang: a small, sheltered beach reached through a gap in the rocks, great for a swim when the sea is calm.
• Melasti Beach: white sand and clear water below tall limestone cliffs, ideal for a lazy beach day.
• Surfing: the Bukit is famous for its reef breaks. Beginners can book a lesson on the gentler days; experienced surfers will find some of Bali's best waves.
• Yoga and recovery: the area has plenty of yoga studios, gyms, ice baths and massage spots, perfect for a reset trip.

Umalas

• Rice field walks and cycling: quiet lanes, green views and a slower pace than the beach towns.
• Cafes and healthy food: Umalas and nearby Canggu are full of smoothie bowls, plant-based kitchens and great coffee.
• Beaches nearby: Berawa, Batu Bolong and Echo Beach are a short drive away for sunsets and surf.
• Easy day trips: Tanah Lot temple, Ubud and the rice terraces are all reachable for a day out.
