16 Best Clifftop Villas in Bali (2026): Uluwatu Ocean-View Pool Villas

Alila Villas Uluwatu is an all-villa resort on the limestone cliffs, about 100 meters above the Indian Ocean, run by Hyatt's Alila brand. The clifftop faces west, toward the sunset, though not every villa looks straight out to sea: the one-bedroom villas look over gardens or have mixed views, while the two- and three-bedroom Cliff Edge Villas are the ones to book for an ocean view. This is a clifftop stay rather than a beach one.

Every villa has its own pool. Around the resort are a main pool; Batique Whiskey & Cigar, a dark, speakeasy-style lounge; the Sunset Cabana Bar for cocktails on the cliff edge; and the Cliff Edge Cabana and its lawn for weddings. Calm, polished service suits couples, honeymooners and families who want a quiet, design-led stay.

Its sister venue next door, Terrazza Plenilunio, a three-level villa of pool-front suites under the same management, is booked separately.

The ten king bedrooms sleep up to 20 guests, but the villa is best known as a wedding venue, hosting up to 200 seated or 300 standing guests. It suits wedding parties and large groups taking the whole property rather than couples. The last stretch of road is rough, so allow extra time.

Its glass-bottom sky pool, which extends 6.5 meters beyond the cliff edge, 162 meters above the ocean, belongs to the resort's oneeighty° day club, open to day-pass visitors, so the site is livelier than a private retreat.

Villa guests get a private butler and buggy rides. The One suits couples, with a private pool and Jacuzzi on the oceanfront, while The View sleeps ten across five bedrooms with two pools, a cinema and a children's room. The cave by chef Ryan Clift, The cliff bar and a spa round it off.
