Activities

Surf or Surf lessons

Bingin is one of the best wave you can find in Bali. Uluwatu is the temple of surf, and Padang Padang and Balangan can be a lot of fun. For beginners, better with water, which means mid or high tide if you want to be sure to avoid any injuries on the reef.
There are many surf schools who will provide surf boards as well. You can also rent if you feel secure enough to try on your own.
Our son’s coach Teko, is running TNT surf school, he will be happy to teach you or your kids : WA : +62 813 37791080.

Sunset at El Kabron

Perched 50 meters above sea level on the cliffs of Uluwatu – El Kabron Spanish Restaurant Cliff Club has the most Secluded Sunset on the Island Of The Gods. You will experience a truly Spanish atmosphere and our breathtaking 180-degree view of the Indian Ocean.
Bringing a touch of the Mediterranean to Bali with authentic and genuine Spanish, rustic flavors of home cooked cuisine. Very “Instagrammable”.
5 minutes in scooter on the way to Dreamland Beach.

Uluwatu Temple

It is perched 30 meters above the cliff facing the Indian Ocean, offering dramatic view of the surrounding areas.
At 18.00 every day, the Kecak Dance performance begins on a nearby stage with the setting sun as the background. Accompanied by the chanting of 50 male performers, the dance tells the love story of Rama and Shinta. Not recommended for the youngest.
15 minutes in scooter. Busy busy, get here early.

5 minutes in scooter through the shortcut of the Shilton Hotel (ex World Hotel still in progress). 15 to 20 minutes by car.

Walk

To Padang Padang beach on low tide. From Bingin Beach, when facing the ocean this will be on your left side. You can also reach Balangan, turn right this time when facing the ocean.

Jimbaran Fish Market

It is a bustling spot for locals, business owners and tourists alike, who visit in the early morning to get their hands on the freshest seafood around. With the traditional colorful boats crowding along the shore in the clear morning light and the lively flock of
sellers and customers, it’s a spectacular sight.

If you arrive at around 6 am, you can see the incredible sight of these vivid Jukung (traditional Balinese canoes) returning to shore after a night at sea. The market is made up of three sections: a wholesale area, an area for selling to the general public, and directly on the beach you can find local fishermen selling their wares.

Bring some back home, Faby can organize bbq for you!

La Baracca

Relax
Prices ok
La Baracca is my favorite one in the neighborhoods. You will require a mean of transportation to get there. It is just before the entrance to Uluwatu paving lane (to the Single Finn) on the right hand side of the road to Uluwatu from the villas.
Italian food but not only pizzas and pastas (although those ones are really really god)
Service is quick, which is pretty unusual in Bali, and most of the time everybody is getting its plate at the same time. Scooter 10 minutes.

Casa Asia

Relax
Affordable prices
Its at walking distance, on the road to Drifter Surf Shop.
Its an Italian Restaurant (doesn’t sound like), good pastas, good pizzas.
You can also order and take away if you prefer eating at the villas.
Nice team, busy place ! Love it.

Drifter Surf Shop

Relax
Prices ok
Located at the corner of the road to Uluwatu. Only for breakfast (all day) lunch now. In a nice garden on the back behind the shop. Good, healthy food, takes a while sometimes.
Movie nights !

The Loft Uluwatu

Relax
Price ok
“You’ll see it when you believe in it.”It is written on the wall. They invite you to sit by the sign and take a picture with these words, to remind you and your friends of the power of belief. They could have never created The Loft and Vida without truly believing in the capability of their team and the desire of their customers for a inviting & elegant space to socialize over incredibly tasty food. They hope their philosophy can impact every customer and team member to know that you’ll only see whatever you want happening
if you first truly believe it will.
Turn right at the Drifter corner, it will be a few meters away on the right side of the road.

Suarga

Fancy place
Price rather high
Suarga is one of the most beautiful and incredible bamboo architecture in Bali.
It is a hotel boutique and Spa 5 stars, but its restaurant is open to every one. You can book at the gastronomic restaurant or just have snacks on the left side by the pool.
Have at least a glance !
