Perched on a hillside in Pecatu with Indian Ocean views in every direction, the Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu is the kind of property that tends to exceed expectations.
Guests arrive expecting a solid international brand hotel and find something considerably more atmospheric: a sprawling cliff-side resort with a stunning pool, two restaurants, an on-site spa, and direct access to Impossibles Beach just below.
SatuSatu, a Bali travel platform that helps travelers discover and book experiences across the island, put together this guide to help you decide whether this property belongs on your Bali shortlist.
What Is Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu?
The Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu is a five-star resort and villa property on the Bukit Peninsula, positioned on a hillside in Pecatu between Bingin Beach and the Uluwatu area.
The full name of the property is Radisson Blu Resort and Villas Bali Uluwatu, reflecting a recent expansion that added exclusive private villas to the original resort footprint. The resort now offers both standard room categories within the main building and separate villa accommodation with additional privacy and space.
The property is operated by Radisson Hotels and sits within easy reach of some of the most famous surf breaks in Bali.
Padang Padang and Bingin are both a short drive away, and the path down the cliff from the resort leads directly to Impossibles Beach. The resort works equally well as a base for surf-focused travelers and as a quiet retreat for those who have no intention of entering the water.
Location and How to Get There
The Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu is located on Jalan Pemutih Labuan Sait in Pecatu, Badung Regency, on the southern tip of the Bukit Peninsula. Ngurah Rai International Airport is approximately 16 to 20 kilometers away, translating to roughly a 30 to 40-minute drive depending on traffic.
The resort offers airport transfer services for guests, and the journey to the airport for early departures is straightforward from this location.
Impossibles Beach is 600 meters from the resort entrance, within walking distance for those comfortable on the cliff paths. Bingin Beach is a short drive along the peninsula road, as is Padang Padang.
The area around Pecatu has grown significantly in recent years with cafes, restaurants, and surf shops lining the main Labuansait road, giving guests within the area a good range of options beyond the resort itself. New Kuta Golf Course is approximately 20 minutes away for those who want to combine beach and fairway.
Room Options and Pricing
The Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu has 125 individually furnished rooms in the main building, with room categories ranging from Deluxe Garden View rooms through to Superior Ocean View rooms, Suites with separate living areas, and Premium Suites with rooftop terraces and private outdoor bathtubs.
Standard room sizes are 58 square meters, which is generous by any measure, and the Premium Suites expand to 148 square meters with spectacular ocean views from a private rooftop terrace.
All rooms include premium bedding with a pillow menu, Frette Italian sheets, flat-screen televisions, minibar, laptop-compatible safe, and a balcony or terrace. Bathrooms are well-appointed with premium toiletries.
The recently added villas offer the highest level of privacy and space for those wanting a more secluded stay. Room rates vary by season and room category, with the property generally positioned in the upper-mid to premium bracket of Uluwatu area accommodation.
Top Facilities and Highlights
- The Outdoor Pool: The main pool is one of the largest and most praised features of the resort. It features multiple zones including shallow areas suitable for children, private cabanas, and lounging sections with Indian Ocean views. The pool area is well-landscaped with frangipani trees and low seating, and the adjacent bar serves cocktails and light refreshments throughout the day.

The breakfast buffet here receives consistently strong reviews from guests, with a wide range of options including local Indonesian dishes alongside continental choices.

- Direct Beach Access: A path from the resort leads down the cliff to Impossibles Beach, which the resort highlights as a key feature of its location. Sunset at Impossibles Beach is particularly scenic and worth the walk down.
- Event and Wedding Facilities: The resort has a dedicated ocean-view wedding venue alongside indoor meeting and conference rooms, making it a popular choice for both destination weddings and smaller corporate retreats on the peninsula.
What Makes It Special
The Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu sits in a genuinely strong position in the Uluwatu accommodation market. The hillside location means nearly every point of the property has a view, and the design takes advantage of this with balconies, open-air dining, and generous outdoor spaces.
The pool is consistently the most-praised feature in guest reviews, praised for its size, cleanliness, and the canopied private areas that give it a slightly more resort-like feel than typical Uluwatu cliff-edge hotels.
The two-restaurant setup covers most needs without requiring guests to leave the property every evening.
The staff consistently earn recognition in guest feedback for warmth and attentiveness, and the property is well-maintained with modern, spacious rooms that feel genuinely comfortable after a long day exploring the peninsula or the surf.
This is a property that suits couples, honeymooners, families with older children, and solo travelers who want a well-run resort base in the Uluwatu area without paying the very top tier of Bali resort pricing.
Those wanting complete seclusion or dramatic clifftop infinity pools at every turn will find properties that better match that specific vision, but for a balanced combination of quality, views, facilities, and value, the Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu delivers reliably.
