Cliff-Edge Cabana by Alila Uluwatu
Clifftop ceremony venue at a luxury pool-villa resort, Uluwatu
Photos: Beautiful Bali / Alila Villas Uluwatu
The Cliff-Edge Cabana is the ceremony venue everyone pictures when they think of Alila Villas Uluwatu: an open-air pavilion cantilevered off the cliff, with the Indian Ocean stretching out on three sides. Couples marry here at sunset, with exclusive use of the Cabana for a set window in the late afternoon, and the photographs of it are some of the most recognisable on the Uluwatu coast.
The Cabana is intimate, around 40 to 50 guests, but it does not have to be the whole day. A 5,000 square metre lawn runs along the cliff directly behind it, set up for larger seated and standing receptions, so the ceremony can be small and private and the party can be bigger without moving off the clifftop. Behind both sits the resort itself: 65 private-pool villas on the Pecatu cliffs, where your guests can stay, and which can be booked out entirely for the largest weddings.
We work with Alila for couples who want that over-the-ocean ceremony image and a luxury resort to hold the rest of the day. Ceremony and venue packages usually start in the region of USD 8,000 to 15,000 and climb from there with catering, styling, and accommodation. We reconfirm current rates, the Cabana time slot, and minimums with the resort for your date.
Key details
Why we love it
A ceremony over the ocean
The Cliff-Edge Cabana is an open-air, cage-like pavilion cantilevered over the cliff, with 180-degree views of the Indian Ocean. Ceremonies here are usually held at sunset, with exclusive use of the Cabana for a set window in the late afternoon. It is one of the most recognisable ceremony spots on the whole Uluwatu coast.
Room to grow into a reception
Directly behind the Cabana sits a 5,000 square metre open-air lawn that runs along the cliff. The Cabana is intimate, around 40 to 50 guests, while the lawn takes larger seated and standing receptions, so a small ceremony can open into a bigger party without leaving the clifftop.
A full pool-villa resort behind it
Alila Villas Uluwatu is a 65-villa resort, each villa with its own pool, set on the Pecatu clifftops. That means your guests can stay on site, and a full resort buyout is possible for the largest weddings. The Cabana is the ceremony, the resort is the base.
