Currency & Money
The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). While high-end establishments, hotels, and restaurants in Uluwatu widely accept major credit cards (Visa and Mastercard), it is always advisable to carry some cash for smaller boutiques or tipping.

Getting Around
Transport in Uluwatu is best handled via private car and driver. The roads can be narrow and steep, making self-driving challenging for those unfamiliar with the area.
