Uluwatu is one of Bali’s hottest destinations right now. The coastal retreat is loved by surfers, holidaymakers, and digital nomads. As this part of the island undergoes rapid changes, one thing will always remain the same: Uluwatu’s rustic charms will never fail to impress tourists. The Bukit Peninsula is often incorrectly referred to as Uluwatu. In fact, the Jewel of Bali, as the peninsula is also known as, is home to a range of tourism resort areas, including Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Kutuh, Ungasan, and, of course, Uluwatu.
Uluwatu was first put on the tourist map by intrepid surfers looking to catch the best and most extreme waves the island has to offer. Over the last 10 years, Ulwuatu has caught the attention of the wider tourism market and has undergone a period of rapid development. Uluwatu today is one of Bali’s biggest and most in-demand tourism resort areas, welcoming tens of thousands of visitors every week.
