Final Thoughts

And, there you have it, my collection of the top hostels in Uluwatu! I must admit, I’m pretty impressed with myself for the variety in this selection, there really is something for everyone!

My personal favourites and go-tos are Lala Homestay Bingin and Bali Beats Guesthouse for their chill peaceful vibes.

Which one has you packing your backpack and ready to go?

Get yourself ready for hot sweaty walks down the cliffside to reach the most unbelievable and scenic tropical beaches – brutal, but totally worth it!

After a sip of a fresh cold coconut and a dip in the ocean, it’s all forgotten. (Until you need to walk back up).
