Set high above the Indian Ocean on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula is the breezy Ungasan Clifftop Resort, an exclusive getaway with sweeping views. Hidden in the quiet Ungasan village area, the resort offers high-end luxury with an intimate, personalised experience designed for ultimate relaxation.
Choose your sanctuary from a collection of spacious villas and one-bedroom suites, each laid out with privacy in mind. Unlike most resorts centred around one common pool, at the Ungasan, each suite shares a private pool and surrounding gardens with no more than four others. Guests booking three or more bedrooms will get the entire villa grounds to themselves – this is recommended for families or small groups looking for more peace and quiet.
As far as dining goes, the Ungasan has enough delicious options on the grounds, so you don’t have to leave the resort if you don’t feel like it. At Waatu, the Ungasan’s laidback yakitori and open-flamed grill, award-winning Australian chef James Viles brings the heat. The menu uses no gas or electricity – only open flames – to cook seasonal, locally sourced produce. If you are not in the mood to leave your private abode, order in-villa dining, whether for an Instagram-worthy floating breakfast or a juicy, customisable BBQ dinner.
If you’re looking for low-key beachside relaxation during your time in Bali, the famous Sundays Beach Club is right on site. Catch the short elevator ride down to one of the prettiest beaches in Bali and choose between splashing around in azure waters, sipping on a coconut, paddling a sea kayak, enjoying the bonfire, or all of the above.
