Alila Uluwatu Beach — Attraction in Kuta Selatan

Trekked down to this private beach while staying at the Alila Uluwatu. We made two attempts to climb down, as the first time we encountered a pack of hostile monkeys that wouldn't stop following us, and we had to turn back. The climb up was essentially a giant stairmaster, albeit partially shaded.
