Ulu Cliffhouse
Clifftop pools, sunset DJs and ocean views above Bingin · Uluwatu, Bukit Peninsula
Ulu Cliffhouse is one of Uluwatu's best-loved clifftop hangouts — a laid-back beach club perched on the Bukit cliffs above Bingin Beach, with two saltwater pools, a long hardwood sun deck, a wood-fired restaurant and a packed calendar of sunset DJs and live music.
About Ulu Cliffhouse
Set on the edge of the Bukit Peninsula's limestone cliffs, Ulu Cliffhouse pairs Californian-surf-town style with sweeping Indian Ocean views. Days are relaxed — swim in the pool, claim a daybed, and watch surfers on the reef below — while weekends turn up the volume with resident and guest DJs, live bands and the occasional beach-club festival.
The kitchen leans Mediterranean and wood-fired, there's a proper coffee and ice-cream counter for daytime visitors, and the sunset slot from a clifftop lounger is the main event. A retro shuttle and beach shack down at Bingin round out the experience.
It's more relaxed and family-friendlier by day and a lively party by night — check what's on before you go, as ticketed events can change the vibe and the entry policy.
