Bali
Best Hostels in Uluwatu
Perched on the cliffs of Bali's Bukit Peninsula, Uluwatu is for travellers who want world-class waves, dramatic clifftop sunsets and a calmer scene than Canggu. It's spread along the coast, so where you base yourself shapes your days.
Surf
Serious, mostly reef breaks — Uluwatu, Padang Padang, Bingin and Impossibles — best for confident intermediate and advanced surfers. Not the place to learn, but hard to beat once you can handle a reef.
Vibe
Laid-back and surf-focused, with clifftop warungs and bars and a more sophisticated feel; much quieter after dark than the Canggu or Kuta strips.
Good for
- Experienced surfers
- Clifftop sunsets
- A quieter scene
- Couples and solo travellers
What to look for
How close it is to the break you're after (the Bukit is spread out and transport matters), whether scooter hire is sorted, and shaded space to rest between sessions.
