A luxury honeymoon dome with private beach access and sea views

Why guests love it

Bubble 5 is a honeymoon dome in Uluwatu with sea views, access to a private beach area and a private bathroom with a bath and a bidet. Room service, a continental breakfast and free WiFi are on offer. The 10 score rests on a single review, so I treat it as a first impression. I would recommend it to couples after something unusual and secluded rather than a full hotel, and I would not choose it for a family trip.

Adults-only clifftop retreat with beachfront access and ocean views

Why guests love it

Ulu Cliffhouse is an adults-only property, so it does not take children and is not a family option despite its other qualities. I list it for parents planning a couples' escape in Uluwatu. The year-round pool, the garden, the terrace and the Mediterranean restaurant with various dietary options are built for grown-up time, and some balconies face the sea. Families should look at other Uluwatu stays on this site.
