EDGE OF THE WORLD?

That’s the first thought that came to mind when I discovered this Cliff in Uluwatu. There really no signs on the roads showing that there is a magnificent cliff nearby so it’s kinda tricky to find but once you do, you’ll be sure to agree that checking it out wasn’t a mistake. Use any map application and type “Batu Jaran Cliff/Hill” There’s no official entrance or gate there so entrance is free, you can go with a motorbike/car and leave it nearby whilst you observe the view of a lifetime. If you’re lucky you could also observe some turtles swimming as you look down on the waves. If you’re ever in Uluwatu be sure to check out ‘Batu Jaran Cliff’ #MyTripVlog #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #campingglamping #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #bucketlistreboot #bali #balitravel #uluwatu #batujarancliff

Visit the spectacular Uluwatu Cliff

Uluwatu is located in the south of Bali. Since we stayed in a hotel in Kuta, we hired a driver for a day to explore Uluwatu. The drive from Kuta to Uluwatu takes about 30-60 minutes depending on a traffic. Upon arrival we started walking down the cliff passing by cute shops, cozy cafes and nice restaurants. Make sure to check the tide, because you can walk around the corals and go all the way down the cliff if you arrive during low tide. If you arrive during high tide, it will be filled with water and you won’t get the change to see the corals and walk around at the bottom the cliff. Once we were done, we started heading back up, we stopped at some cute shops to buy souvenirs and clothes. Since it was already almost sunset, we decided to have dinner at the Single Fin. We chose a table overlooking the cliff with a spectacular view of the breaking waves and sunset 🌅. I ordered chicken mushroom pasta and coca-cola. The food was delicious and the view was simply stunning. Enjoy your trip to Uluwatu and have a great day 😊 #gooutside #bali #uluwatu #travel #foodie #awesomepic #beachlife #passionpassport #indonesia #naturalwonders

The area is famous for its world-class surfing spots, like Padang Padang and Uluwatu Beach, which attract seasoned surfers and beginners alike.

The region also has a laid-back vibe, with cheap hostels, cafés, and warungs that cater to budget travelers. It’s perfect for backpackers looking for both adventure and cultural experiences.

Best Sunset Pura Luhur Uluwatu

#bestsunset Witnessing the sunset at Pura Luhur Uluwatu is a magical experience that words can barely capture. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, painting the ancient cliffs and the majestic temple in shades of gold, pink, and purple. The rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the rocks below adds to the serene ambiance, making it a perfect moment of tranquility and reflection. The traditional Kecak dance performance, set against this breathtaking backdrop, adds a touch of cultural richness to the experience. Truly, there’s no better place to end the day than here, where nature and spirituality blend seamlessly.

Beach vibeeee

Uluwatu was my favourite place . Very beachy , people go there for surf . Not to miss is Bambu gym , especially for cross-fitter and gym-rats. I would definitely go back again to learn how to surf🌊🏄♀️#uluwatu #bali #surf

Hidden gem in a not so hidden spot

#hiddengems I know there is nothing hidden about Bali and tourists can be found everywhere on this island. Here's my thing though, more often tourist end up limiting their stays to kuta, semijiyak or other over crowded spots of Bali. Ubud no doubt is the cultural hub but again plenty of tourists over there. Here is where I think and especially in comparision, there's a hidden gem in south of Bali and it is uluwatu. I've had several quiet stays here in very local areas where you'd get to experience the real bali. The beautiful culture of this island in the closest form. I don't want to give away too much. But consider indulging in a local stay in or around Ubud at a local family. It's a special experience. #hiddengem #uluwatu #bali #sunset #culture

Unforgettable monkey attack during our Bali trip!

#familytrips2024 This year, we decided to spend our CNY in Bali. We didn't plan much on the itinerary as we just want to chill and relax in Bali. The first day of CNY, we visited Uluwatu Temple which is the must go place in Bali. The temperature was hot and the walk in was fine until my father walk over to a corner which I supposed is the alter / stage area where 3 monkeys were sitting on the railing. My father went over nearer to take photo and suddenly the monkey snatched his spectacle and started to eat the rubber. I was carrying my daughter and of course all of us was shocked 😳. Before I start to move away from the crime scene, another 🐒 looked at me and our eyes met! All of a sudden, my sunglass was gone from my head. oops, snatched as well in the matter of seconds! Helpless, my father went over to the staff and they came bringing some rambutans. upon seeing the rambutan, the monkey threw away the spectacle in its grip in exchange for the fruit. That was how we got our glasses back. The pic above was taken after the event and we just quickly snap and go. Haha.. my mum run fastest! On our way out, we saw a Chinese guy chasing after a monkey which later confronted by a gang of monkeys coming from don't know where. Apparently his iPhone was snatched by the monkey 🐒! We didn't wait to see the ending so didn't know what happen to that guy. We left, chasing after my Mum who was already far in front 🤣

Ulywatu Temple

#mytravelhacks #ulywatu #bali Here you can enjoy the beauty of the Uluwatu temple, as well as the nature around the temple, such as steep and very beautiful rocks. In addition, there is a good Kecak dance performance, which you can also watch while admiring the sunset. The existing facilities are quite good. The service staff is also quite friendly. However, there are many wild monkeys around the temple, there is no security like in the Monkey Forest in Ubud, so it is better to be careful so that the wild monkeys do not take your things.

Bali sunsets: a daily dose of magic

Bali vibes: relaxed, rejuvenated, and free !

Instagram Worthy Location

This cliff mountain is located on the way to Tanah Barak Beach in Uluwatu. One of the most instagram famous places! I would recommend to go really early before all the tourists come. 😉 #instagramworthydestinations

Padang Padang Beach is a popular surf point in Bali with the great waves and white sandy stretch 100 meters from the north to the south. This surf point is situated on the white stone hill with nature scenery to the Indian Ocean and spectacular sunset at late afternoon that creates the romantic nuance. If you are experience or pro-surfer, Padang Padang Beach is the right place for you to enjoy the surf adventures during your holidays in the paradise island of Bali.

uluwatu ♥️

The most GORGEOUS hotel in Bali 🕊️

My boyfriend and I spent a few days in this stunning boutique resort in #Uluwatu 💭 This gorgeous place is called Le Yanandra and I couldn’t recommend it enough! It was such a gorgeous way to end our #bali trip - something more relaxing and romantic. We spent our entire 3 days by the pool and felt like we were living the true luxury life 😌 I’ll be back to stay at this hotel!

It’s alright, clean but the breakfast has got worse since the last visit.

Catch me if you can!

Indonesian sunsets are simply on another level - I would go on yet another trip to Bali/Yogyakarta to catch more sunsets. The pink and purple hues never fail to mesmerise me with each unique sundown. Bring me back please 🙏🧡 #2024wish #beachlife

Arabica Bali Uluwatu

This place is lovely, although it's not situated on the main road of Uluwatu, it offers a peaceful ambiance. It's a great spot to hang out with friends, and it's connected to Alchemy restaurant. While there's no scenic view like what people usually expect in Uluwatu, the outdoor fire deck adds a unique touch. You can still enjoy a delightful experience with a nice coffee and ice cream cone. The parking area is spacious, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Absolutely love this place! #balitrip

Alchemy Uluwatu

One of the best restaurants I have ever been in my life!! It is all plant based and the food is so delicious, the fruits and salads are so fresh!! The staff is incredibly friendly, smiley, helpful. I came back numerous time during my time in Bali as it is definitely a place where you can trust in the freshness and their work truly believing and for their purpose (sustainable and natural food that nourishes you and your soul). #balitrip

ON THE ENGE OF THE WORLD 🙈

Visiting Uluwatu area I could not miss a chance to come to this beloved spot . it’s a cliff edge not too far from Ritual Bar Kinda wild place but very beautiful and cozy ( I think the picnic there will be very suitable!) #travelinspiration #traveldestination #bali#balitravel #travelblog #travellovers
