Mule Malu / A Beautiful Boutique Hotel on the Bukit Peninsula in Bali

Mule Malu is a charming boutique hotel nestled into the cliffs above Bingin Beach in the heart of the Bukit Peninsula.

Bali’s Uluwatu area is a surfer’s paradise and having an awesome place to return to after epic surf sessions only makes it that much better. Enter Mule Malu, a charming new hotel only a short walk from Bingin Beach and a short drive away from the other top surf spots of the Bukit: Impossibles, Padang Padang, and Uluwatu, to name a few.

With 11 rooms situated around a vibrant garden and saltwater pool, Mule Malu delivers picture-perfect style at an affordable price. The hotel mixes touches of Indonesian architecture with a minimalist Mediterranean vibe. High thatched roofs and white-washed walls compliment light wood accents and muted colors. All rooms have air-conditioning, private outdoor patios and spacious outdoor bathrooms.

In between surfing and leaning into poolside relaxation, dig into a delicious and healthy breakfast or lunch at the hotel’s on-site cafe. In an effort to keep plastic use to a minimum (yes!), the hotel offers free fresh drinking water on tap for all guests and doesn’t use any single-use plastics such as straws and plastic bottles.

With its peaceful vibes and perfect location, Mule Malu is a fantastic place to stay to explore the best of Bali’s southwest coast.
