Melasti Beach
Busy 09:00 AM - 11:00 AM Found on Google Maps 1 Oct 2026
Melasti Beach is a stunning coastal paradise situated at the southernmost tip of Bali's Bukit Peninsula in Ungasan, South Kuta. The beach is world-famous for its dramatic access road, which winds through soaring, sheer limestone cliffs that have been carved out to create an awe-inspiring canyon descending to the ocean. At the base lies a broad expanse of powdery white sand meeting brilliant turquoise waters sheltered by an offshore coral reef, forming tranquil natural lagoons ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Alongside traditional Balinese ceremonial pavilions, the coastline has evolved into a premier lifestyle hub hosting upscale beach clubs and an ocean-facing clifftop amphitheater.
