One of Bali's best-known reef breaks, a long and powerful left that runs along the cliffs below Uluwatu. Its sections are called Temples, the Peak, Racetrack and Outside Corner. Surfers get in at Suluban Beach: a zigzag stairway goes down past cliff-top cafés and board rental shops and ends in a cave that opens onto the reef. The wave is for intermediate and advanced surfers, not beginners.
One of the most famous waves in Bali, and not one for beginners. If you're still learning, watch from the cafés on the cliff: seeing the lineup from above is a show in itself. Going down to the cave? Only at low tide; at high tide the waves come right in.

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.
