Bingin Beach is currently going through a major clean-up. Authorities have removed many old cliffside cafés, warungs, and small stays that didn’t meet building rules. Demolition work is still ongoing, and some paths may be affected.

The beach itself remains open, but access can change day-to-day and visitors should take care when walking down.

Absolutely. The Bukit is much more than Bingin alone. The surrounding beaches are all open and just as beautiful as ever, including:

• Padang Padang

• Thomas Beach

• Nyang Nyang Beach

• Dreamland

• And of course, Bingin Beach when access allows

Most hotels, villas, restaurants, surf spots, and beach clubs across Uluwatu continue to operate normally. You’ll still have plenty to explore, surf, eat, and enjoy.

Yes — but access may be limited depending on the day. Some stairways and paths are being repaired or cleared of debris. If you’re unsure, feel free to check in with us and we’ll share the latest updates.

Local authorities are restoring the cliff area to ensure it’s safe and follows zoning rules. This includes removing structures that were built too close to the cliff edge. The goal is to protect the coastline and make the area safer long-term.

Although it looks a little rough right now, many people see this as a positive reset for the area. Once the work is done, the hope is that Bingin will return cleaner, safer, and more environmentally friendly — without losing the charm that made it so special.

• Expect normal access to most beaches in Uluwatu.

• If Bingin is on your list, check with us for current access conditions.

• Surf schools, restaurants, and attractions across The Bukit remain open and running as usual.
