Alila Villas Uluwatu is an all-villa resort on the Pecatu cliffs: 65 villas, each with its own pool, a 50-metre cliffside pool and the Sunset Cabana Bar on the edge. It is built for couples who want to stay in, not for families or beach days. Book a One-Bedroom Uluwatu Pool Villa.
Alila Villas Uluwatu sits on a limestone plateau at Pecatu, where the cliffs drop to the Indian Ocean, 6 km from Uluwatu Temple. It has 65 villas and no ordinary rooms. Every villa has its own pool and cabana, the one-bedroom villas cover 290 m², most of it outdoor space, and a butler looks after each one around the clock.
You come here to stay in. There is a 50-metre cliffside pool, the Sunset Cabana Bar on the edge with violin at sunset on Saturdays, CIRE for international dishes with organic produce, The Warung for Indonesian and Balinese food, and Batique for whisky and cigars. Spa Alila runs a two-hour treatment in the Cliff Edge Spa Cabana, and there is yoga every morning. Meal plan varies by rate; you see what is included on the booking screen before you pay.
The trade-off is distance. Nothing is walkable, the beach is a small cove at the bottom of a long stairway, and there is no kids' club. Life here is outdoors, so go in the dry season, April to October. Book it for a honeymoon or a quiet week as a couple; with small children, choose AYANA Resort Bali instead.
A huge thank you to the entire team at Alila Villas Uluwatu for upgrading us to the 4-bedroom villa. It was truly a surreal experience! Villa H8 was simply out of this world — absolutely outstanding. The design, architecture and attention to detail were fantastic, and the whole villa had a real “wow” factor. It made our stay incredibly special and memorable. The resort also has a uniquely peaceful and exclusive atmosphere, as there are not many guests around, giving the entire experience a wonderfully private and luxurious feeling. A special mention also for the spicy tuna at breakfast — it was brilliant and one of our breakfast favourites! Thank you again to the wonderful team for making our stay so exceptional.
Stunning design. Well maintained. Great location. The food is delicious. The staff are amazing. Fabulous facilities.
Stunning property, incredible views and well thought of details. The staff was so kind and hospitable. Private villas were well-equipped and extremely spacious.
— The only minor thing was the bar noise echoing to our villa at night, most nights it was done before 10am but on Friday it did keep us up longer.
Not for small children. There is no kids' club, and every villa has its own pool. The hotel offers half-day children's activities such as archery, crafts and gardening; ask about ages and prices before you book.
Only a small one, down a long stairway; reviewers count about 600 steps. Go for the view, not to swim, and go at low tide. Swim in your villa pool or the 50-metre cliffside pool.
45 to 70 minutes depending on traffic, on about 23 km of road to the Uluwatu area. You can ask the hotel for an airport pick-up before you arrive.
One-Bedroom Uluwatu Pool Villa: 290 m², a private infinity pool, a cabana and a 24-hour villa host. The One-Bedroom Pool Villa is the same size with a regular private pool and a garden view, for less.
Nothing within walking distance. Uluwatu Temple and Padang Padang beach are both 6 km by taxi, Kuta 15 km. On site you have CIRE, The Warung for Indonesian food, the Sunset Cabana Bar and Batique, a whisky and cigar lounge.
Yes. Every villa has a private pool, a cabana and 24-hour butler service, and the Cliff Edge Spa Cabana offers a two-hour treatment on the edge of the cliff. Meal plan varies by rate; you see what is included on the booking screen before you pay.

April to October, the dry season; August is the driest month. November to March is rainy, and most of the pleasure here is outdoors: the cabana, the pool, the Sunset Cabana Bar. In the rainy months, plan more time in the spa and the villa.
It has the same 290 m² as the entry villa, but sits on slightly higher ground with a private infinity pool, a terrace and a 24-hour villa host on top of the butler. For a honeymoon, the higher ground and infinity edge are worth the difference.
Value pick:One-Bedroom Pool Villa — the same 290 m² with a private pool and cabana, facing the garden. It also comes with twin beds if you need them.
The nearest outing from the villa. The Kecak dance starts at sunset, so leave early, and keep glasses and phones away from the monkeys.
A proper sand beach, which the cove below the villas is not. About 120 steps down from the road, with an entrance fee; keep your bag closed, as monkeys grab belongings.
Bali's busy town beach, worth one afternoon if a week on the cliff gets too quiet. Come back to the villa for dinner.
