Malini Uluwatu | Cliff-Edge Dining with a View

By Des Res Bali

Film by Des Res Bali 

A cliff-top seafood spot with unapologetic views and a splash of old-school Bali charm.

The Scene

Set high above the Uluwatu cliffs, Malini serves up a sweeping panorama that’ll stop even the most seasoned island-goer mid-sentence. The décor’s a little kitschy—a throwback to early-2000s Bali before everything got too curated—and that’s exactly what makes it so cool. Before Bali went beige and “quiet-luxury,” places like this ruled the island (only this one ALSO has that view!).

The Food

Fresh-caught seafood is the real deal and main event here — grilled snapper, buttery prawns, and lobster done every which way. It’s classic seaside fare without the pretense. Add a crisp beer or a chilled white and you’re set for the sunset.

The Vibe

Somewhere between beach club and nostalgia trip, Malini leans into its personality. It’s for people who like their dinners with a bit of drama — cliff-edge views, dramatic skies, and the sound of waves crashing below.

Why Go

Because sometimes you want a place that remembers Bali’s playful side. Malini isn’t reinventing anything — it’s just serving good seafood with a side of spectacle. And honestly? That’s enough.
