7 Days in Bali: Our Perfect One-Week Itinerary

Bali is a bigger and more diverse island than most people realise. You could spend weeks or even months exploring its lush jungles, pristine beaches, and charming villages, and still discover something new every day.

But if you’ve only got one week, don’t worry—you can still experience the highlights and seek out a few hidden gems.

After years of visiting every corner of the island, we’ve put together this jam-packed guide to spending 7 days in Bali, complete with our detailed one week itinerary, cost breakdown, and helpful tips for getting around.

Is 7 Days Long Enough in Bali?

If it’s your first time visiting Bali, 7 days is a little on the short side. If possible, we'd recommend extending your trip to 10 days or even 2 weeks, so you can enjoy more of the island’s diversity without feeling rushed.

That said, one week is still better than missing out entirely. Emily spent less than a week in Bali on her visit and it's what made her first fall in love with the island.

So if seven days is all you’ve got, go ahead and book your trip— our itinerary will help you make the most of your time! You won’t see it all—but that’s the best excuse to come back for more.

With just one week in Bali, we recommend dividing your time between two main bases. This approach lets you experience both inland and coastal areas without spending too much time jumping around accommodations.

Where To Base Yourself

For this itinerary, we recommend using Ubud and Uluwatu as your two bases. Spend most of your time in Ubud where there's plenty to keep you busy, then wrap up your trip by relaxing on Uluwatu's beautiful beaches.

How To Get Around

Bali doesn't have great public transport options for tourists or group tours, so we'd recommend either renting a scooter or making use of private drivers and online taxis.

Renting a Scooter

While renting a car in Bali is a bad idea due to the small roads and chaotic traffic, renting a scooter is manageable and gives you the freedom to explore the island by yourself.

But you should only choose this option if you’re an experienced driver and have an International Drivers Permit. We recommend renting from Bikago who have branches across Bali or can drop-off / pick-up the scooter at your accommodation.

You can typically travel with backpacks on a scooter, but if you have suitcases or larger luggage, consider how you'll transport these around with you.

You could also choose to get taxi transfers between the airport and hotels and hire scooters on a daily basis as and when you need them.

Private Driver

This option is best for day trips where you want to visit multiple destinations in one day. Private drivers are affordable and super knowledgeable about the island. Give them a list of places you want to visit and they’ll help plan your day.

Private drivers are better value (and less hassle) than getting lots of taxis, especially for larger groups. Use this booking form to arrange a driver.

Online Taxis (Grab or Gojek)

For simple A-to-B journeys, such as moving accommodation or travelling back and forth to one specific attraction, we prefer using online taxis such as Grab or Gojek.

Download the app, create an account, and order a car taxi or scooter taxi from most places on the island. Just be aware of any Gojek-free zones and make sure you always have mobile data.

Itinerary Outline

Here's a quick overview of our Bali 7 day itinerary. Keep reading for the full day-by-day breakdown.

How Much To Budget For 7 Days?

In general, we recommend budgeting between 500,000 to 1,500,000 IDR ⓘ per person per day for spending money. For a typical week-long itinerary, expect to spend between 3,500,000 to 10,500,000 IDR ⓘ per person on food, transportation, and activities.

The itinerary we've shared in this guide falls towards the top end of this estimate, costing around 9,500,000 IDR ⓘ per person in total. This can be broken down into:

• 3,500,000 IDR ⓘ on activities

• 1,000,000 to 2,500,000 IDR ⓘ on transportation (depending on how you get around and the number of people to share costs with)

• 3,500,000 IDR ⓘ on food and drink

These costs are vague estimates that do not include flights, accommodation or pre-trip expenses such as visas and insurance. See our full guide on how much does it cost to visit Bali for an up-to-date list of prices.

Full 7 Day Bali Itinerary: Day-by-Day Breakdown

Day 1: Explore Central Ubud

Morning

Ubud Story Walks

Start your visit to Ubud by getting to know the area and its history on the Past to Present walking tour with Ubud Story Walks.

This fantastic company offers unique small-group cultural tours led by passionate local guides. On the 3-hour walking tour, you’ll get to learn about Balinese history and culture as you explore some of Ubud’s main landmarks.

The tour even includes a visit to the Puri Lukistan Museum, Ubud’s oldest art gallery filled with historic Balinese paintings and woodcarvings from across the centuries, and a short break to try some Balinese coffee and snacks. The tour starts at 8.30am and booking is essential.

Lunch at This is Bali

Not far from where the walking tour ends, you’ll find a lovely restaurant called This is Bali which serves unique twists on classic Indonesian dishes. The small restaurant is bright, modern, and - in true Bali style - super Instagrammable.

Afternoon

Ubud Arts Market

Spend the rest of the afternoon exploring Ubud town centre on foot.

Start by wandering around the colourful craft markets, which sell everything from local handicrafts and artwork to t-shirts, sarongs, bags, and jewellery. The markets are a great place to pick up souvenirs for a bargain price – just remember to haggle!

The main sections of Ubud Art Market can be found along Jalan Arjuna and in a large new venue on the corner opposite Ubud Palace. But there are stalls all over the town centre – they’re not difficult to find!

Ubud Palace

While exploring the town center, make sure you stop by Ubud Palace, a grand palace that was once the official residence of the royal family of Ubud.

Today it's a free historical landmark and a fantastic example of traditional Balinese architecture.

Ubud Water Palace

Just down the road is Ubud Water Palace (Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati), a picturesque temple surrounding a large lotus pond dedicated to the Hindu goddess of learning.

You can pay a small fee to enter the palace, which includes traditional Balinese outfits, or admire it over a drink at Cafe Lotus next door.

Visit the Ubud Sacred Monkey Forest

Complete your afternoon in Ubud with a visit to the Ubud Monkey Forest, which sits to the south of the town centre and is open until 6pm each day.

This beautiful nature reserve is filled with ancient temples, peaceful rivers, and over a thousand free-roaming long-tailed macaques. Here you can watch these cheeky monkeys play and interact in their natural habitat.

Ultimately, it’s up to you whether to include this spot on your Bali itinerary. But if the thought of a monkey jumping on your shoulders makes you uneasy, it might be best to give it a miss.

Tickets to visit the Monkey Forest cost 80,000 IDR ⓘ on weekdays and 100,000 IDR ⓘ on weekends. You can book tickets in advance.

Evening

Dinner at Zest

Ubud is famous for its incredible veggie and vegan scene, with Zest easily among our top picks.

The cool bohemian restaurant focuses on locally grown whole food and plant-based cuisine. We’re usually meat-eaters, but we were very impressed by the dishes here.

You won’t find any animal products, refined sugar, or harmful oils in any of Zest's dishes. Yet every single item is still delicious, from the all-day breakfast to plant pizzas and colourful medicine bowls.

It's also a super cosy restaurant, with comfy sofas, board games, and a cool, laid-back atmosphere.

Lelong Dance Show at Ubud Palace

End your day exploring central Ubud with a traditional Legong dance performance at Ubud Palace, which takes place every evening at 7:30pm.

Legong is a traditional form of Balinese dance, characterised by intricate finger movements, complicated footwork, and intense facial expressions. Many of the dances act out traditional Balinese stories and legends.

It’s best to arrive by at least 7pm to get a good seat for the show. The performance lasts around 1 - 1hr30. You can buy tickets at the door for 100,000 IDR ⓘ. Don't stay out too late as you'll have an early start the following day.

Day 2: Kintamani Day Trip

Morning/Afternoon

Sunrise on Mount Batur

On day two, take a trip to the mountainous Kintamani region. If you can handle the early wake-up, we recommend beginning your day with a sunrise trip up Mount Batur, Bali's second-largest volcano.

At sunrise, you can experience the sea of oranges and reds appearing from the east and slowly revealing views of Lake Batur and the entire island in front of you.

There are two ways of reaching the top; by foot or by 4WD jeep:

Mount Batur by foot:

We chose to do the sunrise hike up Mount Batur and didn’t find it too challenging. It took us around 2 hours to reach the summit, getting to the top just in time to enjoy the sunrise with a banana sandwich (don’t ask!) and a hot chocolate.

It's best to do the trek with a local guide which can be arranged through your private driver. If you’re driving yourself, book a trekking guide here and head to the meeting point.

The hike begins around 4am, but you'll usually be asked to meet your guide and others in your group around 3:30am when you’ll have the chance for a pre-hike coffee and snack. This means leaving your Ubud accommodation around 2:15am.

Mount Batur by 4WD Jeep:

If hiking isn’t for you, there is also an option to reach the summit by 4WD Jeep, where you'll drive across the black lava fields and ascend to a viewpoint for sunrise. You don't go right to the summit with the jeep, but it's still an incredible view.

Toya Bungkah Hot Springs

Kintamani is home to a series of manmade hot springs, filled with spring water heated naturally by underground magma. A soak in the warm, mineral-rich waters is perfect to relax your muscles after hiking Mount Batur.

We went to Toya Bungkah which is the largest and most well-known hot springs resort in the area.

Entry was 200,000 IDR ⓘ on the door, but you can get a good discount if you book in advance here. Your ticket includes entry to the pools, a towel, a locker, and a welcome drink. We recommend allowing just over an hour here.

Pura Segara Ulun Danu Batur (Floating Temple)

After the springs, make a quick stop at Pura Segara Ulun Danu Batur, a peaceful floating temple sitting on the edge of Lake Batur. It’s accessed by a small bridge over the water.

The temple is far less touristy than many others around the island. You’ll often see local ceremonies taking place, making it a great place to experience authentic Balinese Hindu culture.

It’s completely free to visit this temple. But you’ll need to rent a sarong to enter, for which there’s a suggested 20,000 IDR ⓘ donation. Being a small temple, you’ll only need around 20 minutes or so here.

Café-hopping in Kintamani

Kintamani is full of stunning cafes overlooking the volcano crater where you can enjoy a late breakfast/brunch. Here are some we loved:

Batur Geopark Museum

If you're not too tired, make a final stop at the Batur Geopark Museum. This large, modern museum is free to visit and showcases the geological, biological, and cultural diversity of Mount Batur and the surrounding area.

It’s a fascinating place to learn more about the Batur region, which in 2012 was named Indonesia’s very first UNESCO Global Geopark.

The museum tells the story of the volcanic processes that have shaped the landscape of Bali over millions of years, with an impressive collection of volcanic rocks and fossils. Visiting takes around 45 minutes to an hour. You might want to adjust this itinerary slightly on weekends as the museum closes earlier.

After the museum, head back to Ubud for some well-deserved downtime. Each of the hotels in Ubud we recommended has a pool and an on-site spa. Use the rest of the afternoon to make the most of these facilities.

Evening

Dinner at Taman Dedari

If you still have the energy after your early start, take a 10-15 min drive north of Ubud to Taman Dedari, a traditional restaurant where four towering angel statues sit against a beautiful backdrop. We recommend getting here before sunset to properly enjoy the views over a leisurely dinner.

Although the restaurant has some Western dishes on the menu, we recommend sticking to the local options. There's plenty of choice and it's a great opportunity to try cuisine from across Indonesia that's both authentic and delicious.

Day 3: Ubud Outskirts

Morning

Pura Tirta Empul

Start your third day with a visit to Pura Tirta Empul, a magnificent Hindu water temple around 15km north of Ubud town centre.

This famous temple holds great historical and spiritual significance. Its natural spring waters have long been used for a purification ritual called “Melukat”, which aims to cleanse your mind, body, and soul.

Pura Tirta Empul is the most popular place on the island for tourists to take part in this well-known water ceremony, which involves praying and bathing under a series of fountains while wearing a special ceremonial sarong.

The temple’s popularity means it can get extremely busy. We’d recommend arriving as early as possible for a more peaceful experience. We visited around 8am and had the springs entirely to ourselves.

To take part, you’ll need to bring your swimwear and hire a Melukat sarong. There are changing rooms and lockers available. It’s also possible to hire a guide to walk you through the ceremony which we’d recommend doing. Allow around 90 minutes to explore the temple and take part in Melukat.

Pura Gunung Kawi

When you’re finished at Pura Tirta Empul, head just across the road to Pura Gunung Kawi, one of Bali’s most ancient archaeological sites. This hidden gem offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Balinese civilisation.

The temple complex is home to a series of 11th-century royal tombs carved into the steep cliff face that surrounds it. The ten huge shrines sit over 7 meters (23 ft) high and are surrounded by dense jungle, giving the site a real tomb-raider feel.

The tombs are thought to have been built by King Anak Wungsu as a tribute to his father, the great Balinese ruler Udayana, and the Warmadewa Dynasty.

Afternoon

Tegallalang Rice Terraces

Next, head to the famous Tegallalang Rice Terraces, around a 20 minute drive from the previous stop.

Recognised by UNESCO as part of Bali’s culturally important subak irrigation system, the lush green rice terraces cascade down the rolling hills, embraced by dense jungle on all sides. The terraces have become somewhat of a symbol of the island and are a must-see on any Bali itinerary.

Take a peaceful walk among rice paddies from one of the several entrances (quieter spots here and here) ). You’ll need to pay a small fee of around 25,000 – 50,000 IDR ⓘ in cash to enter.

Jungle Club

Spend the rest of your afternoon grabbing a bite to eat and relaxing at one of Tegallalang’s luxury cafes and jungle clubs overlooking the rice terraces. Here are a few you can choose from:

Evening

Dinner at Merlin’s Magic

After the rice terraces, you might want some downtime at your hotel before heading back into Central Ubud for dinner at one of Bali’s most unique dining experiences.

Merlins in Ubud is an unusual magic-themed restaurant and the first in the world where “the food chooses you”. This means that you each receive a tarot reading as you first sit at your table. The three cards you pick not only represent your past, present, and future, but they also reveal your starter, main, and dessert.

You can either stick with the dishes chosen for you, or you can opt to swap any of them out for something else on the menu. There are plenty of delicious choices to pick from, but we particularly enjoyed the steak and chocolate dessert!

No matter what you order, Merlin’s is a magical themed experience from start to finish, with its mystical candle-lit tables, robed waiters, innovative dishes, and elaborate presentation (think plenty of dry ice!).

Day 4: East Bali Day Trip

Morning

Taman Ujung

For your seventh day in Bali, take a day trip from Ubud to explore East Bali. We'd suggest either hiring a private driver or renting a scooter for the day. You don't need a super early start, but try to leave before 9am.

Your first stop will be Taman Ujung, a water palace built in the early 20th century by the King of Karangasem at the time. The palace includes beautifully manicured gardens, three large ponds, and floating pavilion-like buildings connected by bridges.

One of the architects hired to build the palace was a Dutchman (Bali was a Dutch colony at the time), which is why you can see a unique mix of Balinese and European architecture throughout.

Inside the main building are relics and photos that remain of King Karangasem and his family… he had A LOT of children!

You can climb a long staircase to reach a viewpoint overlooking the entire complex, which covers approx. 10 hectares of land, making it one of the island’s largest historical landmarks.

By visiting first thing in the morning, you’ll pretty much have this place to yourself. We’d recommend allowing around an hour here to fully enjoy it. Entrance costs 100,000 IDR ⓘ per person and you can pay with cash or card.

Lontar Museum

Next, it’s time for one of our favourite hidden gems in Bali, Museum Pustaka Lontar (also known as the Lontar Museum). This is about a 20 minute drive from Taman Ujung.

Run by locals from Penaban Karangasem village, the museum aims to educate tourists about the Balinese language and how lontars (a type of manuscript) are created and used for written records.

Our workshop was led by Kadek, who first explained a little about the Balinese language and how it’s different from Bahasa, the main language of Indonesia.

We then learned a little about the traditional "aksara" Balinese alphabet and lontars, which are palm-leaf manuscript used to keep written records throughout Balinese history.

As part of the workshop, we were taught how to write our names in the aksara alphabet and wrote them onto two lontars – one which we left behind at the museum in a special display area and another that we could take home with us as a souvenir.

The museum is free to visit but you must make a small donation of around 50,000 IDR ⓘ per person for the lontar writing. You don’t need to make a booking. In total, the experience took us around 1hr15.

Lunch at Bali Asli Restaurant

Just around the corner from the museum is Bali Asli Restaurant, which is a great spot to grab lunch. After learning about lontars at the museum, you’ll appreciate the restaurant’s unique menu which is etched onto a palm-leaf.

The restaurant is a great place to experience traditional Balinese food. Many of the ingredients are grown onsite or in their neighbour’s garden and they cook using traditional methods on mud brick stoves.

And it's not just the food here that’s amazing. The restaurant has an open-plan layout with stunning views out towards Mount Agung while you dine.

Afternoon

Tirta Gangga

Aftre lunch, head to Tirta Gangga, another water palace built by the same ruler that built Taman Ujung. He built a second palace after an inspirational visit to the Palace of Versailles in France.

The buildings that once existed here were mostly destroyed when Mount Agung erupted in 1963. However, you can still enjoy the manicured gardens, ponds, and intricately carved statues and fountains that depict characters from Hindu mythology.

The most famous activity here is crossing the trail of stepping stones over the main pond and feeding the koi fish that swim beneath. This is also one of the island’s most iconic photo spots. We’d recommend allowing around 1 hour here.

Lahangan Sweet

For your final stop of the day, visit Lahangan Sweet. This is a series of viewpoints overlooking Mount Agung from the top of a neighbouring mountain. The entrance fee is 50,000 IDR ⓘ, which includes all photo spots except the swing.

The ticket point is around 25 minutes drive from Tirta Gangga. However, cars can’t reach the top of the mountain, so those travelling with a private driver will need to stop part-way and take a return shuttle for an extra 50,000 IDR ⓘ.

If you have a scooter, you can continue a little further to the midway parking point and walk. But the track is muddy and quite difficult so we’d recommend taking the shuttle if you're not comfortable with this.

There’s also a lovely little warung at the viewpoint with amazing views over the surrounding valley and coastline. Stop here after getting your photos for a fresh coconut or cold beer before making your way back to Ubud.

Dinner at Warung Pondok Madu

When you arrive back in Ubud, head for dinner at Warung Pondok Madu, our top pick for delicious BBQ ribs.

This relaxed local spot is renowned for its signature ribs, which you can enjoy as a full rack with sides or as part of a full meal such as Nasi Goreng or Mie Goreng.

Although famous for their ribs, there are plenty of other options on the menu such as mozzarella stuffed chicken or beef burritos.

Unsurprisingly, there aren't too many veggie options here. But if you are veggie or vegan, there are plenty of fantastic plant-based restaurants in Ubud like Sayuri Healing Food and Plant Bistro.

Day 5: Hotel Transfer and Uluwatu

Morning

Brunch at Pison Coffee

Check out of your hotel and leave your luggage at reception to collect later. In the meantime, make the most of your final morning at one of Ubud's best brunch spots, Pison Coffee.

This large cafe and restaurant in southern Ubud has a cool industrial-chic decor and a spacious covered terrace overlooking a lush rice field.

Their varied all-day brunch menu features a fusion of Western and Asian-inspired dishes made with locally sourced ingredients.

From fluffy pancakes topped with fresh berries (10/10 would recommend!) to savoury options like their signature eggs benedict and the extravagant lobster toast, there’s no going wrong with whatever you order.

Jewellery making class

Ubud is famous for its many artisan craft workshops, with everything from silversmiths to woodworkers, many of which offer classes for visitors.

One of our favourite experiences in Ubud is a silver jewellery-making workshop with an experienced Balinese silversmith. It’s a fun way to spend a couple of hours and come away with an amazing souvenir to take back home with you.

This Ubud jewellery-making class is ideally located just a 5 minute walk from Pison Coffee. In a session, you’ll learn how to melt, mould, and shape silver to produce your very own ring, bracelet, or earrings. Just be prepared to sweat – it was a real workout!

Afternoon

Transfer to Uluwatu

After your class, return to your accommodation to collect your luggage and take a hotel transfer down to Uluwatu. We tend to use Grab or Gojek for simple transfers like this. Or you can arrange a private transfer with your accommodation.

By the time you arrive in Uluwatu, it should be time to check in.

The Istana

Spend the rest of the afternoon either hanging out at your hotel or relaxing at one of Bali’s top day spas, The Istana.

The Istana was designed as a place to completely unwind and detox, with mobile phones banned and no alcoholic drinks allowed.

They have all the typical spa facilities such as pools, saunas, and ice baths, but they also have more unusual additions including hyperbaric chambers, sound domes, and sensory deprivation tanks.

The Istana have morning, afternoon, and evening spa sessions. The afternoon session is 3 - 5:30pm, so time your visit accordingly. You’ll need to book this ahead of time.

Evening

Dinner at Mana

Right next door to The Istana is Mana, a restaurant perched on the clifftop with panoramic ocean views that’s perfect at sunset.

The restaurant serves a broad menu of Western and Indonesian dishes, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Day 6: Go Beach-Hopping

Morning/Afternoon

On your penultimate day in Bali, enjoy the island's best beaches with a day of beach-hopping around the Bukit Peninsula. Below are a handful of beaches worth considering.

Balangan Beach

Balangan Beach is a beautiful soft white-sand beach on the peninsula's west coast that's yet to see the same rise in development as much of the Uluwatu region, with only a few small rustic cafes and surf schools lining the back of the beach.

Balangan is easy to access, with two parking areas just a short distance from the sand. At the far end is a large cliff that offers a perfect vantage point for photos.

Dreamland Beach

Dreamland is one of the beaches in Bali we visit most often. It’s easily accessible, with scooter parking just a few metres from the sand and car parking a short walk away.

The sandy beach is well-equipped for tourists, with toilets, showers, shops, sunbeds, and a large local eatery with beach seating. We recommend grabbing some lunch here if you're feeling hungry.

Much busier than Balangan, Dreamland has a lively atmosphere throughout the day. Most visitors tend to congregate near the entrance where the beach is wider and most facilities are. But if you walk further along the beach, there's space for a more peaceful experience.

Bingin Beach

Bingin is a laid-back sandy beach sitting below a towering cliff, just a short drive from Dreamland. To access the beach, you’ll need to walk down almost 200 steep and uneven concrete steps, meaning it’s unsuitable for those with mobility issues.

At low tide, there’s a lovely stretch of soft white sand to enjoy. There are no sun loungers on the beach, so most people just lay down a towel on the sand. A few local women rent out parasols for protection from the intense midday sun.

There are also a handful of local restaurants with tables right on the beach where you can enjoy a freshly caught fish or seafood lunch.

Evening

Kecak Show at Uluwatu Temple

While staying in Uluwatu, you can't miss the famous Kecak and Fire Dance at Uluwatu Temple.

Kecak is a traditional Balinese dance known for its dramatic choreography and use of fire. It's performed by a huge chorus of 50-60 men who chant “cak-cak-cak” throughout.

Starting at dusk, the performance tells stories from the Hindu epic, Ramayana, focusing on Prince Rama’s quest to rescue Sita.

Once the sun sets, the dance culminates in a fiery climax where bamboo torches are lit, illuminating the temple in an enchanting orange glow.

The show lasts for one hour, but arrive a little early so you can enjoy Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu), one of Bali’s nine directional temples. It’s not huge, so 30 minutes is plenty to explore.

Dinner at Ours Home

Most people know Ours Home as a brunch or lunch spot, but we went for dinner after the kecak show and it didn’t disappoint. In the evenings, there’s an intimate vibe with softly lit tables and excellent service.

The menu takes inspiration from Mediterranean cuisine, but has a wide selection of pastas, burgers, salads, and seafood. The creamy truffle risotto was our favourite dish (pictured above), but the butter chicken curry was also good with great spices and a lovely flatbread.

Day 7: Day at a Beach Club

For the grand finale of your 7 days in Bali, relax in style at one of Uluwatu’s top beach clubs. Here are a few options to choose from depending on the vibe you prefer.

Sundays

Sundays is one of our favourite laid-back beach clubs in Bali, sitting on its very own stretch of private beach on the Bukit's south coast. Pristine white sand is lined with bean bags and sun beds where you can spend the day relaxing, eating, swimming, and sunbathing.

Sundays famous cable car will take you most of the way down the steep cliff to reach the beach, with amazing views over the coastline along the way.

The sea next to Sundays is surprisingly calm and great for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding, with free equipment available for guests to use. Stick around until sunset when a DJ hits the decks and you can roast marshmallows on a beach bonfire.

Savaya

Savaya scoops the prize when it comes to the most impressive beach club venue in Bali. Located on a 100m high clifftop in Uluwatu, the iconic beach club has two large infinity pools with swim-up bars, overlooked by its iconic cube bar suspended over the cliff edge.

Savaya is a popular hangout spot among Bali’s chic and affluent crowd, so make sure you dress to impress and be prepared to splash the cash. We'd recommend getting a day bed if you're planning to spend the entire day here.

If you like to party, stay until afterdark when the club gets lively. Savaya often hosts large international DJs and artists (you'll need a ticket for these events), while on other days, local DJs offer a fun evening party vibe.

OneEighty

OneEighty is a clifftop day club that’s part of The Edge, a 5-star resort in Uluwatu with luxury villas that overlook the ocean.

The day club is open to everyone, not just resort guests. The luxury spot has plenty of space to relax, as well as four different pools, including a unique natural pool known as the lagoon.

The club's most iconic feature is an infinity pool which extends 6m over the edge of the cliff. It has a glass bottom so you can see the waves crashing against the cliff below as you swim. Keep in mind that this is a popular spot so you certainly won’t have the pool to yourself as it seems in the photos.

If you spend the day at OneEighty, consider dinner at The Cave, a unique restaurant near the beach club where you quite literally dine in an underground cavern. The food here is fine-dining level, and so are the prices.
