Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa
A clifftop Renaissance resort near Balangan Beach on the Bukit Peninsula, built into the terrain with jungle- and forest-facing pools and a large spa.
Last updated August 3, 2026
Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa sits on the Bukit Peninsula near Balangan Beach in Ungasan, built into the area's dramatic clifftop terrain rather than a flat beachfront site. Rated 4 of 5 across roughly 1,180 TripAdvisor reviews and ranked third among Ungasan's 21 hotels, it draws consistent praise for genuinely attentive, caring staff and comfortable, clean, spacious rooms with jungle views. A standout lower pool facing the forest is repeatedly singled out as a relaxing highlight, and the spa -- one of the newer additions to Bali's wellness scene -- receives strong marks, particularly for its Thai massage and its sauna and steam bath facilities. Breakfast draws praise for its wide selection and fresh juices. Reviews are more mixed on a couple of specific points: some guests report soundproofing between rooms falls short of expectations, and a handful describe room service or front-of-house responsiveness as inconsistent, in contrast to the otherwise strong staff reputation. Given its Bukit Peninsula location, it also sits farther from central Bali's other resort areas and requires a longer drive than Nusa Dua or Seminyak properties. For travelers drawn to Uluwatu's dramatic clifftop scenery and a strong spa program, it's a well-reviewed choice within that part of the island.

Frequently asked questions
Is Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa directly on the beach?
It's near Balangan Beach on the Bukit Peninsula but built into the area's clifftop terrain rather than sitting flat on the sand, so beach access involves a short trip down from the resort rather than stepping straight onto the sand.
How far is Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa from the airport and other Bali resort areas?
It's roughly 18 km from Ngurah Rai Airport, farther out on the Bukit Peninsula than Nusa Dua, Seminyak, or Kuta, so trips to and from those areas take longer than transfers between properties within the same resort zone.
