GWK Cultural Park or Garuda Wisnu Kencana:
Is the name of a cultural park on Bali’s hilly southern coast famous for the ongoing construction of a gigantic statue of Vishnu riding on the back of a ‘garuda’ (a supernatural eagle-like being). The completed part of the statue is of the upper part of Vishnu’s body, the head of the ‘garuda’ and Vishnu’s hands. The cultural park has become one of the favourite places in Bali for art and cultural performances, exhibitions, and conferences. GWK, once completed at 145 metres, will be one of the world’s tallest statues and erected on the top of the hill, with a magnificent panorama of Bali.
Padang Padang Beach:
Padang Padang Beach, locally referred to as Pantai Labuan Sait, is one of Bali’s most famous surf spots, located on the north-western coast of the island’s Bukit Peninsula, and just a kilometre southwest of the Anantara Bali Uluwatu. This beach features an exotic setting; a simply stunning one hundred meter-long stretch of sand that is accessible down a flight of stairs through a unique hollow rock entrance. The surf has a steady set of barrels during good weather, attracting wave riders from around the world.
Balangan Beach:
Is one of Bali’s most popular and most scenic, featuring a gorgeous half-kilometre stretch of golden sand bordered between vegetated limestone cliffs and a reef with one of the longest left-hander breaks on the island. This surfing paradise attracts wave riders from around the world, who enjoy most of the south-western Bukit coastline together with Balangan’s sister breaks of Dreamland, Impossibles, Padang Padang, Suluban and Uluwatu further south.
Suluban Beach:
It is located in Pecatu Village, South Kuta Sub District, Badung Regency and Bali province – Indonesia. This gorgeous beach & hidden surf point is situated in the white stone hill with breathtaking view to the Indian Ocean and perfected by the spectacular sunset.
Uluwatu Temple:
Without a doubt, what makes Uluwatu Temple spectacular is its cliff-top setting at the edge of a plateau 250 feet above the waves of the Indian Ocean. ‘Ulu’ means the ‘top’ or the ‘tip’ and ‘watu’ means a ‘stone’ or a ‘rock’ in Balinese. Several archaeological remains found here prove the temple to be of megalithic origin, dating back to around the 10th century. There are two entrances to Uluwatu Temple, from the south and the north. A small forest lies at the front and hundreds of monkeys dwell here. They are believed to guard the temple from bad influences. The serpentine pathway to the temple is fortified by concrete walls on the cliff side. It takes about an hour to get from one end to another as there are several fenced points along the way to stop. The views from the bottom of the water surging up against rocks and the ocean horizon are remarkable.
Sunday Beach Club:
Is a favourite venue on Bali’s Bukit peninsula. The beach club is part of a Resort on Ungasan Village. It’s where to go if you’re seeking a beach retreat with a pristine stretch of sand and swimmable waves. Here you can also enjoy Mediterranean cuisine under breezy, thatched-roof shades with ocean views.
OMNIA:
Omnia Bali Day club is a luxurious daytime leisure venue slated to open in late 2017, which will be an integral part of the leisure offerings at ALILA’s The Cliff, a new all-suites extension of Alila Villas Uluwatu. This cliff-top day club enjoys a broad section on the eastern side of the resort’s complex of tiered suites, with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean complementing this daytime chill-out spot’s cocktails, fine dining, swimming and poolside lounging.
Rock Bar Bali:
Is part of Ayana Resort and Spa which wins accolades from travel media the world over, partly thanks to its unique setting on a secluded limestone cliff. This premier sunset venue continues to win the hearts of patrons, some who fly to the island just to experience the signature cocktails, exceptional views, and moods set by its resident music director and a regular line-up of world-class international DJs. The Rock Bar boasts a minimalist design with an open-top platform seamlessly built onto the natural formation. Ambient lighting from around the bar and the shades at sunset, together with traditional fishing boat lanterns that dot the seascape add to the dramatic appeal of the bar.
Jimbaran Bay:
Famous for its cluster of beachfront seafood restaurants. The bay is found on Bali’s southwestern coast, just south of Ngurah Rai Airport.
