Uluwatu (or just "Ulu") is a peninsula on the southernmost tip of Bali, which is famous for good surfing, lots of rocks, nice beaches and a very laid back atmosphere. It is definitely worth the trip, and offers secluded beaches, good restaurants, and a fantastic view from the top of the cliffs along the entire south coast, where there are many hotels, resorts and cozy surfer spots.

NOURISH CAFE

We eat both burgers, pizzas (wood fired!) and their salads here, and their chicken dishes are also on the favorites list. Right next to the cafe is their Grocery Store, where you can get a lot of delicious things, both local and imported. NOTE: Only place in Bali where you can buy Heinz Ketchup!

PADANG PADANG BEACH

You get down to the beach via a few steps and through a limestone crevice next to the large bridge. On the other side of the road before the bridge there is a car park. One of the favorite beaches for surfing due to the large break far from the coast, along the beach there is a white sandy beach, fantastic views and a small sandy area for sunbathing.

IMPOSSIBLE BEACH

As the name suggests, it is not easily accessible, but it is worth the walk. Start by looking behind the Radisson hotel and ask around, then you will find the entrance and can start the descent. Remember proper shoes, flip flops won't work here for once...
