Driving right across the peninsula from Alila Villas Uluwatu, a well known and a popular Bali Luxury Villa, Uluwatu presents to you one of its most iconic beaches: Padang Padang Beach. A favourite among surfers and those seeking a respite from the busyness of their lives, Padang Padang Beach is known for its unique beauty.
A sensual stretch of sand extends along the beach, which can be reached by walking through a hollow rock entrance. Climbing down the flight of stairs that you then encounter, you are presented with an up-close and personal view of the sea, a view unlike any you have seen before. The palm fringed beaches and the welcoming white sands lead you to a stretch of blue Ocean that is spectacular but challenging. The waves crashing over the corals provide a perfect location for experienced surfers to test their skill. A number of little shops have opened up along the coast for this very reason, renting out surfboards in case you have forgotten or been unable to bring your own.
The beach is perfect for families too. You can always pack a nice picnic meal and spend a day down at the Padang Padang Beach. The kids will love frolicking in the shallow waters, collecting pieces of corals that have washed ashore and building sand castles on the beach. You, the parents, can always seek the shade of a palm tree or lie back sunbathing while indulging yourself in a good book or a bit of music. If a picnic meal is not really your thing, several boutiques have been put up along the shore that provides beverages as well as snacks for affordable prices. What better way to spend quality time with the whole family than to sit back, enjoying an ice cream, while watching the surfers from all across the globe come together to share their common passion?
