About Uluwatu Surf Villas

Uluwatu Surf Villas is a place where barefoot luxury meets surf heritage, Balinese tradition, and the endless horizon of the Indian Ocean.

Uluwatu Surf Villas was born from a dream shared by surfers, travelers, and visionaries who discovered Uluwatu’s magic in the early 1970s. When the now-iconic surf film Morning of the Earth revealed Bali’s waves to the world, Uluwatu became a sacred destination — not only for surfing, but for a way of life defined by simplicity, beauty, and connection to nature.

What began as a handful of villas crafted from reclaimed teak has grown into a sanctuary that honors those origins. Each space is designed to feel soulful rather than showy, inviting guests to experience the essence of Bali as it has always been — where ocean, jungle, and culture coexist in harmony. Over the years, USV has evolved to include yoga, dining, art, weddings, and retreats, but the core remains unchanged: a home where people can gather, celebrate, and recharge at the edge of the world.

At Uluwatu Surf Villas, we believe that true luxury lies in the details that make life feel effortless and meaningful. It’s in the cool ocean breeze that flows through open-air living rooms, the touch of handwoven fabrics on teakwood chairs, and the smile of a local staff member who remembers your name.

Our philosophy is guided by three principles:

Simplicity — Stripping away excess so that what remains feels honest, authentic, and essential.

Soul — Every villa, meal, or experience is infused with warmth, craft, and intention.

Connection — To nature, to community, and to oneself. Whether through surf, yoga, or sharing stories under the stars, USV is designed to create meaningful bonds.

We are committed to sustainability by using reclaimed materials, working with local artisans, and preserving the natural environment that makes this place so extraordinary.

From the first surfers discovering Uluwatu’s legendary waves to the creation of our cliffside sanctuary, Uluwatu Surf Villas has grown with intention — honoring the ocean, Bali’s culture, and a spirit of barefoot luxury every step of the way.
