Six Senses Uluwatu is located along a steep cliff edge overlooking some of Bali’s most legendary surf spots and next door to a sacred temple, Bali’s spiritual center. Inspired by traditional Balinese houses with carved wooden doors and small courtyards, the villas blend into their surroundings. Here you will also find terraces with pools, the last of which is an infinity pool that seems to merge with the sea outside.
Six Senses Ulutwatu is the only hotel in Bali with a sustainability certificate, they compost food, drain their own water and recycle gray water. The terraces are landscaped with native plants and villas built almost entirely from sustainably grown timber. There is also an organic kitchen garden, an organic mushroom hut and beehive. The hotel’s sustainable efforts also include people, as the vast majority of staff are Balinese, many from the surrounding villages. Here you will be warmly looked after. Luxury at a very high level.
This program is a source of inspiration — each trip is unique and tailored to you.
Here you get a feeling of calm and that time stands still and from every corner of the hotel you have an uninterrupted view of the horizon.
Each villa comes with a “guest experience manager”, your personal host who looks after you and helps you book e.g. spa treatments or room service.
The resort offers an eclectic range of cuisine both in celebration of the local Balinese food culture and internationally inspired dishes. There are 3 restaurants and a bar to choose from.
The dining experience at Six Senses is exceptional with a changing menu of Asian and international dishes made from local sustainable ingredients. Incredibly fresh.

Some of the projects we support:
Yayasan Kasih Peduli Anak orphanage program by selling dolls in guesthouses while offering tools to donate money. This support includes providing food and education to children living on the streets and empowering less privileged parents with employment opportunities or basic necessities of life to empower them to build a brighter future. This is an important source of education and engagement for guests with the local community.
The Bali Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi) has been the official mascot of Bali since 1991. However, it has been declared critically endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) since 1994 and the main reason for its decline has been the sale and removal of the bird from its natural habitat to Europe, the loss of its habitat and the continued poaching for the pet trade. Six Senses Uluwatu supports the Begawan Foundation, a non-governmental organization that focuses on breeding programs for the Bali Starling. Between 1999 and 2005, the foundation’s captive population grew from four to 97 birds and total. Between 2005 and 2012, approximately 80 starlings were released into the wild, and a further 20 birds were released at the end of 2018.
