This pool near Bali has a glass bottom above the Indian Ocean

A holiday on Bali means a holiday full of beautiful spots. Near Uluwatu, oneeighty° is one of them. This luxurious club on top of a cliff has a pool above the ocean.

• Either way, this sight certainly belongs on your bucket list once Bali opens up.

A Bali sight: an infinity pool with a glass bottom

The club is part of The Edge, a villa resort in Uluwatu. Day visitors are welcome by reservation. The pool juts 6 metres out from the cliff. Besides the glass wall, the bottom is glass too. You see the depths below you.

How high the pool is

You lie there in the water at 162 metres. For comparison: that is higher than the Dom Tower in Utrecht (112) or the Achmea Tower in Leeuwarden (115). The pylon of the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam measures 139 metres.

Relaxing, eating

Relaxation is the magic word at oneeighty°. There are large lounge beds. And the menu caresses your taste buds. We enjoyed the Oreo Shakes, Tropical Detox Juices, fries, chicken burgers, mac-and-cheese balls and nachos, for instance. Not all at once, mind you.

The oneeighty° VIP Deck

The finest lounge beds are on the VIP Deck. This is where you get the club's best 180-degree panorama.

• Access lasts six hours. As a VIP you get a free bath towel, a nourishing face spray for hydration and a delicious granita. Chilled water is unlimited.
• Your own VIP bed suits 2 people lying down or 4 sitting up. Book well in advance, because demand is high. Before corona the VIP beds were usually fully booked a month and a half ahead, according to oneeighty°.
• Before corona, VIP access plus food and drink cost 700,000 Indonesian rupiah per person. Of that amount you could spend 555,000 IDR each on food and drink. Roughly speaking, you pay 40 euros for a full day of luxury on Bali.

General admission at oneeighty°

It can be cheaper, of course. Before corona, 450,000 Indonesian rupiah got you a ‘normal’ lounge bed, around 25 euros. Of that, 350,000 IDR counts as credit for food and drink. You get a free bath towel. It lasts four hours.

What is on offer, and the prices, may differ by the time you visit.

Golf buggy, smiles and pure pleasure

A golf buggy takes you from the entrance to the pool. Every member of staff gives you a generous smile. The mood is outstanding, so relaxed. You are thoroughly pampered.

All the time in the world to lean back with a magnificent view and the sun on your skin. Something to eat and drink in between. And pure pleasure in the water of the infinity pool, 162 metres above that Indian Ocean. Do it.
