A small cove between limestone cliffs near Uluwatu. From the road you go down about 120 steps through a narrow gap in the rock. Baby Padang, at the side of the beach, is a gentle wave for first-time surfers. The main reef break is for experienced surfers only. The entrance fee is paid in cash at the top.
A tiny cove you reach through a crack in the cliff. Go first thing in the morning; by midday it's packed. The stairs are steep and narrow, so no strollers. Watch your bag at the entrance, the monkeys are quick.
The plan that stops here
A curator note — a personal recommendation, not a bookable product. Not automatically included in any stay or experience.
A small design hotel built around an art gallery, live music and a restaurant; there is no shared pool, and only the top suite category has its own. The beach is about six minutes on foot; light sleepers should factor in street noise and thin walls.
Prices and availability are checked live before booking.
