Melasti Beach in Ungasan, South Kuta, is a cliff-backed southern beach with clear water below limestone walls, often the opening stop on a south route before Pandawa and Uluwatu. Plan about 75 minutes on average. Domestic and International entry is the same (Rp 10,000, check figures on the page or with your agent). Typical hours 07:00-19:00. Do not force it into a full-island day.
Plan your visit
Hours: 07:00-19:00.
Typical hours are 07:00-19:00 (can change). On the Uluwatu & Pantai Selatan 1 Hari package, Melasti is usually the first midday stop, so do not arrive too late or you will squeeze Pandawa and the Uluwatu buffer. Parking and entry are separate, bring Indonesian cash, weekend afternoons can queue at the cliff access. The path down gets hot, carry water and comfortable footwear. Clear water is photogenic, but waves and currents shift, do not swim on red flags or when staff forbid it. Children and non-swimmers can stay on permitted sand with supervision. Toilets are in the upper parking area, conditions may vary. Heavy rain makes stairs and paths slippery. Shorten or skip in bad weather or if your Uluwatu sunset slot is tight. Confirm hours, sea conditions, and prices the day before via your agent.
