Diamond Head Road

Southeast Asia's hottest surf spot…

You don't have to be a pro surfer to immerse yourself in the lifestyle and surf culture of Uluwatu - one of the world's most renowned international surf destinations.

Just a hundred or so steps down a stone stairway will lead you to a cliff front warung (casual open air restaurant) perfectly positioned to provide not only jaw dropping views, but fairly close proximity to many of the top surfers around strutting their stuff right before your very eyes. 

If you're up for a higher level of adventure including an energy cleansing swim, head down another couple hundred steep steps to the Uluwatu cave and white sand beach where the color of the Indian Ocean is a gorgeous milky turquoise.

Ask about the tide before you decide to go down though, as the cave can be treacherous on a high tide with big swell. This is where surfers paddle out to catch some of the most perfect and consistent waves on the planet. 

This surfing mecca is located near Pura Luhur, a Balinese sea temple built in the 11th century! Try the Blue Point Bay Villas & Spa if you want to be within walking distance or Alila Villas Uluwatu if you're looking for eco-luxury eye candy.
