Being the Ritz-Carlton, there was a small, private, beach, Kubu, which was made even more private by the fact that it was solely accessible by going down 250 or so steps, so only a few people actually ventures down there. We went twice and never had to share the beach with more than 20 people at a time. Unlike Bintan or Sentosa, the water here is on the cold side, which is actually a good thing because it's pretty hot outside and this way you can be refreshed. Steve and I were reminded of the Algarve, namely Vale do Lobo and Praia da Rocha, only with less people and perhaps somewhat cleaner water (you can't get much cleaner that this!)
The coast of the Bukit Peninsula, at the southern tip of Bali, is full of cliffs and the waves are much higher, unlike in the more well-known areas of Kuta or Seminyak. The advantage is that you're a lot more secluded.
Kubu is a small beach between two cliffs. The sand is white and the water is as blue as it gets, but you have to watch out for the waves... It's not your swimming-pool type of sea, though if you 're careful, it's lots of fun.
Steve on the steps towards the beach. If you're not in good shape, don't bother going down; you won't be able to climb back up. Seriously, it's quite the work-out.
Typical boats not too far from the shore
