Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa

The Renaissance Bali Uluwatu sits on Jl. Pantai Balangan in Ungasan, on the high ground between the Balangan coast and the Bukit's central ridge. Accommodation runs from ocean-view rooms and suites to a three-bedroom Presidential Villa with its own pool.

Guests can choose between an infinity pool with ocean views, a lower pool and a children's pool. There are six places to eat and drink, including Double Ikat, Clay Craft, the R Bar and the Roosterfish Beach Club, and the spa offers massages, couples' treatments, a sauna and a steam room. A kids' club and fitness centre complete the facilities.

It is a polished, family-friendly choice at the more accessible end of luxury pricing, about 20 minutes from the airport. Balangan, Dreamland and the Uluwatu beaches are each a short drive away, so a car or driver is useful. The resort hosts weddings and events in its ballroom and on the Presidential Villa deck, so check whether a large function is scheduled during your stay.
