Six Senses Uluwatu

SixSenses Uluwatu sits on the cliff edge of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula — the dry,limestone southern tip that has more in common with the Greek islands than withthe rice-paddy Bali of the travel magazines. The 103 suites and villas arebuilt into the cliff with ocean views from every angle, and the infinity poolappears to pour directly into the Indian Ocean 70 metres below. The Rockarestaurant — perched on the cliff face — is where we take people for the sunsetdinner that makes the Uluwatu temple crowd feel like a different postcode. Thespa runs an “Earth Lab” where guests make their own products from localbotanicals, which sounds like a wellness gimmick until you realise the personteaching you has been working with these plants for twenty years. We use thisfor clients who want a Bali beach stay with serious design and a location thatdoes not require an hour in traffic to reach something worth seeing. BlackTomato and Scott Dunn both feature it. The demand is clear.
