Karma Beach Bali

beach club in uluwatu area with 500k rupiah minimum charge/person. view was amazing but DJ’s playlist are poor. you have to wait around 1.5 hours to get the tram for going back. they prioritize the tram for staying guests in Karma Kandara villa first.

A very beautiful beach unfortunately end up with a bad experience ????
Come here during a peak season.

Here's my bad experience and the lesson learned (outside visitors please beware ???? )
1. The problem was the lift. It has 4 person capacity. And it takes around 4 minutes for a round trip. So you will wait minimum 4 minutes if there is nobody in the queue.
2. Going down not a big problem. Waiting time vary around 5-30 mins, depends on the queue.
3. The problem come when after the sunset you want to go up by the lift the queue is insane and chaos.
4. Staying guest will get blue queuing card with number, the outside visitor will get white card with number.
5. The rules for queued always prioritized staying guest (blue card) than a visitor (white card). Also priority for elder and kids, pregnant woman It seems ok for me at first.
6. The problem is how they interpreted and implement the priority :
A. When there is 30 blue card, and 25 white card, even the white card already queued at number 1-20, but if there's blue card at number 21 at the queue, it will be prioritized to get directly to the lift.
B. Regardless of the queue position, the blue card always prioritized until all the blue card was none, than the white card queue could be processed and using the lift according to the number given.
C. If you are outside visitor, even elder or with kids, your not allowed to go up using lift until there is no blue card on the queue ????
D. If there 40 person on the queued, we can imagine how long it will take to go up. 4 person / lift x round trip time 4 mins.

Sadly for my first visit as an outside visitor, I get a 'lower class' of service for the lift service (even you pay around 500k for a visit there).
During the high season and peak time to go up by lift it was almost chaos.

Here's my two cents :
1. If you are outside visitor (not a staying guest) please prepare mentally to get unpleasant discriminative service.
2. For using lift, go down to beach during low queue (2-3 pm) and go up before sunset or around 5 pm if you don't want to get stuck in very long queue time.
3. Avoid holiday season or high season for convenience.

Hopefully in the future outside guest will get more fair treatment.
As always domestic guest is also treated lower than international guest.
(Padahal satu negara, satu bangsa, dan di jaman pandemi, yang banyak datang kan turis lokal yang bantu wisata ke Bali juga, kenapa bangsa sendiri kurang dianggap ????, semoga pandemi ini membuat kita lebih saling menolong dan menghargai. Ada yg tidak membedakan tapi ada yang membedakan).

Anyway it is a beautiful beach ????️

Beautiful club on a class A beach. Good food and nice sun beds. Traveling down the cliff in a cable car is quite an experience too. Perfect get away for a Sunday or any other day.

Beautiful Clean Beach w/ Cafe right on the sand, amazing place for sunset. The cafe is much better for Indonesian food. The pizza oven while impressive, serves a very average (stingy) pizza, although quite quickly compared to most other things. (Probably fine for kids). Definitely make a reservation, as it fills up. The service is very friendly, and very slow, but as long as you are willing to just chill, it is an amazing place to relax. Getting out after sunset is quite the wait. The lift only holds 4ppl u0026 takes quite a while. After waiting a couple hours (with our name on the list), we decided to hike the stairs out. No problem as long as you have a flashlight, and you’re ready for quick workout.

All in all, it’s a bit of a chore, but quite worth it. I’d definitely go back, if I find myself down that way again.

Must see spot in Bali, the ocean is beautiful and clean (unlike the more populated areas). No pool for day guests however it was so nice to jump in the ocean however it was a little rough (could have just been the day). Food and drink good, a little more on the $$$$$ side though.

Overall a great experience. Very polite staff and good customer care. The venue has a very pleasant outlook and set-up. Beautiful beach and sea right in front. If I have to really find a room for improvement... that would be on the pizza... which your wood fire oven u can definitely do better. Will be back. P.S. we loved the live jazz music at sunset!!????????????????????????

Great beach spot to enjoy a relaxing day apart of the world. The location is pretty dramatic and the access by a funicular-like wagon is lovely (watch the video). The beach underneath is small but nice and the restaurant has fresh food and friendly staff. I look forward to come back!
