Melasti Beach in Ungasan is truly one of Bali’s hidden gems. Nestled beneath dramatic limestone cliffs, the drive down to the beach itself is already an experience—with winding roads offering stunning views of the turquoise ocean below. Once you arrive, the beach is clean, spacious, and much quieter compared to the more commercialized beaches in Bali. The white sand and crystal-clear water make it perfect for swimming, relaxing, or just enjoying the natural beauty. The waves are generally gentle, and the beach is family-friendly too. There are a few beach clubs and local warungs (small eateries) around, offering food, drinks, and loungers for rent. It’s not overly crowded, which makes it ideal for those wanting a peaceful beach day without the usual tourist hustle. One thing to note: it’s best to visit during low tide if you want to walk along the shoreline or explore the rocky areas. The facilities are decent, and the entrance fee is very affordable. Overall, Melasti Beach offers a perfect combination of scenic views, tranquility, and clear water—definitely worth visiting if you’re in the Uluwatu or Ungasan area. Great spot for both relaxation and photography!
The beach is long and wide, with white sand, protected by tall, massive coral cliffs. The layout is well-organized and filled with foreign tourists sunbathing. If you love beaches, this place is highly recommended! The only downside is the narrow, rough road to get here—it’s a small, steep path through village lanes.
Came here on a Sunday to watch the Cecak dance. Very beautiful beach with a couple of clubs dotted along the beach. Just be reminded that there won't be any grab drivers here. Best is to hire a driver that will wait for you to be done with your activities.
