The first thing about AKASA Restaurant & Bar that will take your breath away is its location and design. The restaurant is perched on the highest level of Jumeirah Bali’s cliffside terrain, overlooking the frothy waves that crash against the majestic cliffs of Uluwatu. Attempts to catch an unobstructed view of the setting sun or whiling away while sipping cocktails and staring out at the waters that glitter under sunlit skies are made easier by simply grabbing a seat here. Still, the natural vistas aren’t the only sights to see here.
The interior echoes the resort’s design, inspired by the Majapahit-era golden age of Java. The indoor dining area is reminiscent of a stately banquet hall where royal Javanese families of that time would entertain with grand affairs and ceremonies. Patrons can expect attentive service, an atmosphere steeped in regality, and an elaborate spread of dishes.
Local firewood is at the heart of the cooking process at AKASA, evoking the essence of an open-flame barbecue. The menu revolves around the rich tradition and flavours of Bali while incorporating culinary elements from other Asian cuisines. That includes the restaurant’s upcoming season, which is slated to feature new signature dishes that continue to uphold the tradition of wood-fire grilling. Cocktails also offer snapshots of the glorious yesteryears, comprising a drink selection that is simply hard to resist.
An airy destination by day and a romantic venue come nightfall, AKASA doesn’t wait for an occasion, rather demands one. Patrons are encouraged to turn meals into moments, with a menu dedicated for lunches and dinners, vegetarians, and even younger guests dining with their family.
