The Uluwatu clifftop resort once known as Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort is now Svanata Uluwatu Bali Resort, and it remains one of the best places in Bali for a sunset dinner on the edge of the cliff. A September 2026 report says the Pecatu property has taken a new identity, with 73 suites and villas. Its restaurant lineup under the new name should be confirmed before you book.

Is Anantara Uluwatu still open?
The resort is open, but under a new name. An article dated 2 September 2026 reports that the clifftop property in Pecatu has become the Svanata Uluwatu Bali Resort, and booking sites now list it under that name. Older reviews and guides still use the Anantara name. The report does not say when the change took effect, so treat any 2012 to 2025 menu or price as a guide, not a quote.
What fine dining did the resort offer?
In the earlier version of this article, we described five dining options at the resort. They are a good picture of what to look for, but we could not confirm which still operate under the Svanata name, so check before you plan around any one of them.
- Dining by Design: a private, tailor-made dinner in a setting of your choice with butler service, aimed at couples. In our earlier edition it started at 2,300,000 IDR for five courses.
- 360 Restaurant: the main restaurant, with a rooftop view of the Indian Ocean, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. A recent guest review places it on the sixth floor.
- SOPPO Teppanyaki: contemporary Japanese cooking at a live teppanyaki grill with sunset views.
- Splash: poolside lunch and dinner with Asian and Mediterranean dishes and seating on the cliff edge.
- Dewika Lounge: a cliff-top lounge with long dining tables for weddings and private events.
How much does a suite cost?
Aggregator listings for 2026 show nightly rates from about $300 to $475, with a trade listing quoting suites between $331 and $693. Penthouse prices are only available on request. These are third-party snapshots, so compare against the resort’s own booking page. Our old figures of $289 for a garden view suite, $540 for an ocean front pool suite and $3,205 for the penthouse are no longer current.
Why Uluwatu for a luxury dinner?
Uluwatu sits on the southern tip of Bali, where cliffs drop to the Indian Ocean. The dining draw is the sunset, which is why most clifftop restaurants fill up at that hour. Book dinner at sunset and a table on the edge of the cliff weeks in advance. A short car ride away you can find other places to enjoy the island’s sunshine, and we cover several in our guide to places to enjoy luxurious sunshine in Bali.
