Anantara Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa

This review could have taken a very different turn. What began as a near-catastrophic start to my wedding anniversary — stepping on broken ceramic in my private pool — turned into a shining example of Wawan’s super-hero problem-solving skills. Within 10 minutes (yes, I timed it!), he arrived with a team who swept, scoured, and vacuumed the pool like a Formula 1 pit crew, making sure we were safe and could enjoy the rest of our anniversary completely worry-free. When he learned how close we came to a painful mishap, Wawan went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after for the remainder of our stay. His “guest first” attitude and genuine empathy transformed what could have been a 1-star rant into a full-blown 5-star celebration — and that deserves the spotlight. I’ve stayed at multiple Anantara resorts, and I can confidently say Wawan is a true gem in the Anantara Uluwatu crown. As for the rest? The food at Botol Biru was an absolute treat — especially with that jaw-dropping sunset view — and the spa session we booked was nothing short of heavenly. Anantara Uluwatu is a serene escape from Bali’s usual tourist hustle, and we genuinely loved every peaceful, quiet moment.

We had a fantastic time from the moment we arrived. Staff were very friendly and always greeted us with a smile. The complimentary options of Balinese massage and cooking class were greatly appreciated. Dwipa, Eka Adi, Ari and Alan were always on hand to help with any issue. My husband enjoys Chai tea. Dwipa checked in with us on a daily basis to help make this request possible. The food at breakfast and dinner were superb with plenty of different cuisines to try. Teppenyaki was very enjoyable to watch. The cooking class was great. Giri livened the whole atmosphere and helped myself and family to create 3 fantastic Balinese course. The accommodation was lovely and the views of the ocean was superb. The bbq were had in our villa was also a good offering.

Beautiful hotel. Excellent rooms. Service was fantastic. Food catered for all tastes and dietary needs. Staff were so friendly and helpful.

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!

This was an unexpected gem of a hotel. We stayed here for 5 nights as an option to acclimate before 8 days at The Four Seasons. We picked it for its value and location, both of which proved excellent. That said, the staff and service were a standout. The concierge, Melda, communicated proactively, continuously and helpfully, going above and beyond at every turn. The room was spacious ans comfortable, the food solid to very good, the shoreline and sun-rises/-sets special. First hotel in a while where I actually felt regret and sadness leaving.
