Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort

We had a really enjoyable 3 night stay at the hotel and the guest team couldn't have been more hospitable. Service, food were all really strong.||First things first - Uluwatu is a lot more up-class that the more northern Bali beach areas like Kuta and Canggu. The hotel's setting is pretty good high above the cliffs overlooking some great surf breaks including "Impossible Beach" down the hotel's own staircase. My son is a surfer and really enjoyed that.||Secondly, we've stayed at 3 different Anantara's over the years; Oman Jebel Al Akhdar (hard to get to but pretty special incl. the cliff-face via ferrata right off the hotel!), and Abu Dhabi desert frontier Qasr Al Sarab (right on the edge of the deserted quarter), now Uluwatu in Bali. They are all interesting hotels for their locations alone. But generally, the feeling you get of Anantara hotels based on our 3 different experiences is that they aim to be great, but they are solid good. Their locations are pretty excellent. But the hotels generally feel like they just cannot afford the upkeep of A-grade hotels in this 4-5* category. They tend to be reasonably priced and perhaps that's the problem with their niche. They probably don't achieve the margins to really maintain yet alone enhance their properties. They feel a bit dated and a little rough around the edges (broken details, aging fittings and finishes, etc.). ||But would I stay in Anantara's again - yes. The service and food were excellent and like I said, Anantara do seem to have properties in quite unique locations .. perhaps because they were amongst the first to develop sites? They also tend to have a healthy-attitude to activities and experiences that push the boundaries.||So all in all - 4* GOOD. ||Shotish drives on Grab/ Gocek to lots of great nearby eateries, fantastic sundowner drink spots, culture (but it's Bali and you sadly have to work pretty hard to find culture as it's tragically overdeveloped these days).||Thanks Anantara.

Wonderful stay at Anantara. Beautiful resort with amazing sunset views. Staff are excellent (special mention to Dwipa, our butler who ensured we had a personalized experience). It was my wife’s 40th, and they had organized for a cake, wine and dessert box to be sent over to the room.||We got the 3 bedroom pool villa. ||I will have to say that the rooms need to be updated - safe didn’t work, plug points worked sometimes and the doors could be better. ||The 360 restaurant does an amazing buffet.||Overall we were satisfied with our stay!

Highly recommend this hotel. It was our honeymoon and they upgraded us to a pool suite with ocean view. The rooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable. The pool is beautiful and they pass out wellness drinks and snacks while you are there. All of the food we had was incredible, breakfast was expansive, in-room dining was amazing. It’s centrally located with a perfect view of the surf and 10 min ride to the temple. Most importantly, the service was the best we have experienced. They went above and beyond to support us during our stay and each person was kind. My husband unfortunately got bali belly and they took so much care to help me get him better. The doctor was incredible. They brought him a spread of wellness drinks and food to make him feel better, and checked in on us multiple times. We are so grateful that we choose this hotel and only wish our stay was longer ❤️

Staying at Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort was a truly memorable experience. We chose the hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we had unforgettable moments — especially during the special dinner overlooking the magnificent Indian Ocean.||From check-in to our last day, we were treated with care and kindness. Our personal assistant, Dwipa, was impeccable: always available and efficient. With his help, we easily rented a motorbike, made reservations at great restaurants, booked a massage at the spa, and learned about all the services available at the hotel.||The combination of the stunning scenery and warm hospitality made our stay simply perfect.|We recommend Anantara Uluwatu to anyone looking for a remarkable experience in Bali.

Clean, friendly, great service. Great view! Access direct to beach via stairs. There’s a lot of stairs everywhere….. just saying…. Almost need to be fit if you’re staying above ground level. I particularly loved the turn down service…. Coming back to the room with the blanked folded over, slippers put and a cup of hot chocolate. I would come back.

Had to edit this review because not only is the condition of the hotel annoying but also hazardous. One of our children cut herself on a jagged edge tile inside the pool. The hotel seemed unconcerned about this. Honestly don’t bother with this place. We had by no means the lowest tier of room and the whole hotel is due a refurbishment. From toilets that don’t flush to bedding that is of questionable hygiene. What an absolute sham of an Anantara.

We had a truly magical stay at Anantara Uluwatu. We stayed for three nights and four days in an Ocean View Pool Suite, which was spacious and beautiful, with enough room for two adults and our two children (ages 11 and 14). The entire resort is located dramatically on a cliff in Uluwatu, offering breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere. Breakfast at the 360 Restaurant was delicious every morning, and we also enjoyed two excellent dinners there. The food was consistently high quality, and the service was outstanding. The view is also outstanding! During our stay, my wife needed medical assistance due to a cut injury. The hotel arranged for a doctor quickly and took great care of us throughout. The hotel manager personally followed up to ensure everything went smoothly — a level of service and care that left a lasting impression on us. Thank you to the wonderful team at Anantara Uluwatu for such a memorable and safe experience. We would love to return and can warmly recommend both the hotel and its amazing staff. Exceptional service in a stunning setting!

Best hotel we have ever stayed at. A five star hotel that is a five star experience. We loved our stay here. The view is breathtaking from when you walk in the door. The food was some of the best we had in Bali but it was the staff that really made our stay so special. Everyone is so friendly and helpful to the maximum. We were sick for a few days and were really looked after by the staff. Couldn’t recommend this hotel more highly!
