The beaches around Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort are said to have some of the greatest waves in the world and the resort is offering the “Ultimate Surf Break Package” for surfers keen to get back riding Bali’s famous barrels. The package for two people includes accommodation and breakfast, a private yoga session, a one-hour signature Anantara massage, a three-course dinner and a half-day surfing session, including transfers and insurance at one of the area's famous beaches.
If unsure about which beach to choose, the resort has come up with six of the best:
Impossible Beach
Perched atop the dramatic cliff, Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort offers great ocean views of the Impossible Beach right in front of the resort. This beach is one of the most famous surf points in Bali where surfers can descend through the resort’s beach elevator to the rocky beach. From there, it’s only a thousand feet to paddle out from the aptly named beach to the break that is suitable for surfing pros all year round.
Padang Padang Beach
The beach is the setting for the 2010 movie “Eat, Pray, Love” starring Julia Roberts, which is based on Elizabeth Gilbert's bestselling memoir of the same name. This beach is only accessible by a staircase through a hollow cave entrance.
Bingin Beach
One of the island’s hidden gems for wave riding, Bingin Beach is a paradise for surfers. Swells of up to eight feet break over the submerged reef giving strong left-handers to surfers. While getting to the beach is a difficult walk over rocks, surfers believe its well worth the effort with the stunning beachscape and challenging barrels.
Nusa Dua Beach
Famous for Bali’s big wave surf break, the ocean reef at Nusa Dua stretches around the coastline for over one mile. It has the most consistent right-hand reef breaks on the island. Depending on the conditions and tides, the breaks tend to vary but on the right day surfers can enjoy the ultimate surfing experience.
Dreamland and Balangan Beaches
Dreamland and Balangan Beaches are only a kilometer apart and separated by a small headland. Both are a mix of soft white sand and rockpools. For pros, the best time to surf is between May and September when southwesterly winds create swells ranging from one meter to over three meters, which can roll on for a good 1,600 feet. Both beaches are also great for beginners and intermediate surfers.
Green Bowl Beach
Green Bowl is one of Bali’s untouched beaches often overlooked in favor of other more famous surfing spots. It’s a steep descent down hundreds of steps attracting surfers who favor uncrowded waves and punchy right-handers. Most surfers recommend early morning sessions as the wind picks up throughout the day.
The “Ultimate Surf Break Package” is available from now until December 31, 2022.
