Uluwatu is the name of the area on the southernmost part of the island of Bali. The name of this area is taken from the name of a temple that stands at the end of a coral cliff which has a height of approximately 70 meters above sea level. The word Uluwatu comes from the local Balinese language which consists of Ulu and Watu. Ulu means end and time means rock. So, the meaning of Uluwatu is the tip of the rock.
The name Uluwatu was given to the temple which was built in the 11th century by Hindu priests who came from Java on a mission to spread Hinduism to Bali and Lombok.
The distance between Uluwatu and Denpasar Airport is approximately 39 km or around 20 km from the Nusa Dua area. From Denpasar Airport to Uluwatu takes approximately 30 minutes in normal traffic via Jimbaran. However, during the holiday season when many tourists visit Bali, traffic towards Uluwatu gets busier. Travel time from Denpasar Airport to Uluwatu can be longer, even up to 1 hour.
The geographical conditions of the southern part of Bali Island consist of limestone hills, dry land and rarely rain compared to other areas in Bali. It is certain that in the southern part of the island of Bali you cannot find rice fields and irrigation streams like Jatiluwih or Ubud which are in the central part of the island of Bali.
Before tourism was developed in Bali as it is today, few people wanted to live in the southern part of Bali because it was difficult to get water. However, after tourism began to be developed by building Nusa Dua as a resort with luxury hotels, the southern Bali area, including Uluwatu, began to experience rapid development. Tourism facilities such as hotels, villas, art shops, cafes and bars were built quickly. Many visitors, especially those whose hobby is surfing, choose to stay in the Uluwatu area and its surroundings.

Maybe this is a question for every prospective visitor who has plans for a holiday to Bali. From several of our car rental customers who we asked why they chose to live in the Uluwatu area, they had several reasons why they chose to live in Uluwatu, including:

The dancers only wear sarongs without clothes, forming certain formations according to the storyline while saying the words cak cak cak cak as background music. The storyline of the Kecak Dance is Rama and Shinta, one of the Hindu epics from India. The main actors will appear in the middle of the stage. An interesting action from the Kecak Dance is where one of the actors named Hanoman plays with fire. The Kecak Dance is performed every day from 6 pm to 7 pm.
- Enjoying the Sunset. The sunset view in the Uluwpatu area is very stunning and exotic, especially while watching the Kecak Dance. The Uluwatu area has many beaches that have beautiful and exotic views. Enjoying snacks and drinks at sunset is offered by several bars in the Uluwatu area.
