As life is slowly returning to normal, let’s find the perfect wave for the soul! It’s time to catch the ultimate break and discover Bali’s hottest surfing spots with Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort.
You know a surfing spot is hot when eleven-time world championship surfer Kelly Slater makes a trek mid-pandemic in search of the perfect wave. In December 2020 he did just that at Uluwatu on the southwestern tip of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula. The beaches around Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort boast some of the greatest waves in the world and the resort is offering the Ultimate Surf Break Package for surfer’s 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. Here are six of the best listed by 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 beautiful rocky beach. From there, it’s only 300 metres to paddle out from the aptly named beach to the break that is suitable for surfing pro’s all year round.
Padang Padang Beach
This beach is a stunning stretch of sand that is only accessible by a staircase through a hollow cave entrance
Bingin Beach
One of the island’s hidden gems for wave riding. Swells of up to 2.5 metres break over the submerged reef giving strong left-handers to surfers
Nusa Dua Beach
Famous for Bali’s big wave surf break, the ocean reef at Nusa Dua stretches around the coastline for over two kilometres. It has the most consistent right-hand reef breaks on the island.
Dreamland and Balangan Beaches
Dreamland and Balangan Beaches are only a kilometre apart and separated by a small headland. Both are a mix of soft white sand and rock pools. For pros, the best time to surf is between May and September when south-westerly winds create swells ranging from 1 metre to over 3 metres, which can roll on for a good 500 metres
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 favour uncrowded waves and punchy right-handers.
The Ultimate Surf Break is available from now until 31st December 2022 with prices starting from $US400++ per night for a minimum three-night stay.
