How to Get to Melasti Beach 

Melasti Beach is in Ungasan, part of the south Bali region of Uluwatu. Taking a scooter or hiring a private car and driver to get there (both can be booked online). Depending on traffic, the commute from Kuta takes 45-60 minutes. Melasti has ample parking space at the bottom of the cliffs, accommodating many vehicles and scooters. However, the option is also available if you prefer to use a taxi. A taxi pool is just around the corner from the beach, where you can expect a friendly bluebird waiting for you. 

Best Time to Visit 

Bali experiences both dry and rainy seasons. There are pleasant sunny days with an average temperature of 30 °C during the dry season, which lasts from May to September. The rainy season, which lasts from October to April, is characterized by sporadic downpours that frequently appear out of nowhere. Despite still being pleasant and sunny, however. It is entirely up to you and your preferences when to explore Melasti Beach during the day or night. Check the weather before you go here 

What to do in Melasti Beach 

An entire day at the shore is what most visitors of Melasti Beach do. Apart from swimming in the tranquil, turquoise sea of the Indian Ocean, not many water sports activities are available. It is one of Bali’s finest beaches and a great spot to unwind and enjoy the island’s sunshine. Melasti Bay is divided into three sections. Little rock pools that develop along the middle section’s shoreline during low tide make for the ideal spot to chill off.

The most excellent spot to see the sunset is on the west side, and you will find a naturally formed limestone cape to the east. If you look carefully, you can find several locations with breathtaking ocean views as the shoreline is encircled by rocks. Additionally, a brand-new stadium has been constructed to house sacred traditional rituals and shows like the Melasti Kecak Dance, which is open to the public and surely will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch a sacred dance by the gorgeous beach. 

Even though it is believed that Melasti has risen to fame and become one of the most established ones on the island, you do need to worry about it being too crowded since the size of Melasti Beach is enormous. You can always enjoy a quiet day by the beach at Melasti and sip a cocktail during the sunset at one of the beach clubs there.
