Amarta Azul

Perched on the Uluwatu hillside, Amarta Azul is an exclusive four-bedroom sanctuary with sweeping sea and valley views. An infinity-edge pool appears to spill straight toward the ocean, while open bamboo-and-timber pavilions frame the horizon and catch the breeze from every angle.

Inside, natural textures, teak furniture and a relaxed island elegance make the most of the setting. Living, dining and a media lounge open completely to the view, so the scenery — and the famous Uluwatu sunsets — are always centre stage.

Four ensuite bedrooms, several waking to that same ocean panorama, sleep up to eight. It is a refined choice for couples travelling together or a family seeking a private clifftop escape near Uluwatu’s beaches and surf.
