The Best Clifftop Dining Experiences In Bali

Nothing spells luxury better than a wine-and-dine experience with the perfect setting of the magnificent ocean stretching out in front of you. Well, that’s what a good meal on a clifftop in Bali promises you. Ithaka has picked out the very best options for an unforgettable dinner overlooking the ocean in beautiful Bali.

 

1. Ju-Ma-Na Restaurant & Bar, Banyan Tree Resort, Ungasan

Along with a taste of gourmet French cuisine with exquisite Japanese flavours, the place promises you a large selection of cocktails and wines. Whether it’s chilli martinis or champagne served with strawberry mash – you’re bound to get your taste buds tickled with their inventive concoctions!

 

Ithaka’s Pro Tip: Reserve a table on the spacious wooden deck, which puts you 200ft above the beach, and gives you a bird’s-eye view of Bali’s brilliant night sky.
