The allure of Bali runs deep, especially when you add a clifftop beach club into the mix. Sun-seekers, partygoers and foodies looking for places to stay in Uluwatu in Bali are flocking to Ulu Cliffhouse, a retreat with a world-class restaurant, panoramic views, an infinity pool seemingly suspended above the cliffs and an outstanding line-up of entertainment. But then, would you expect anything less from a beach club that falls under the Mandala umbrella, the private members club that’s built up a dynamic community in Singapore and beyond?
Soaring dramatically above the limestone cliffs, with the world-famous break below, Ulu Cliffhouse is carving out a niche for itself as the ultimate Bali escape – whether for a laid-back afternoon or a lively evening with beats. Here’s why it deserves a coveted spot on your Bali itinerary. Beach you to it!
