Ours Home is not a surf brand. It is a restaurant — a proper one, on Pantai Suluban, that feeds people who have come to this part of Bali for the wave, the cliff, and the particular quality of life the Bukit produces when you stay long enough to understand it.
But the line between feeding a community and being part of it disappears quickly when the restaurant is on the same road as the break, when the riders who use that break are the same people who sit at the tables every morning, and when the values that shape the kitchen — local sourcing, quality over volume, care about where things come from — are the same values that shape the way serious surfers approach the water.
This is the story of how Ours Home became a part of the Uluwatu surf community, and what that means in practice.
“The world is ours.” — the Ours Group tagline, and the reason the restaurant is on Pantai Suluban in the first place.
The Riders: Betet Merta, Made Lana & Plekut
Ours Home is proud to support three Balinese surfers who represent the heart of the Uluwatu surf community. These are not sponsorship arrangements built around visibility. They are relationships built around proximity, shared values, and a genuine investment in the future of surfing in Bali.
Betet Merta
Uluwatu, Bali
Betet Merta is one of the most recognisable names in Balinese competitive surfing. A regular at the Uluwatu break and a consistent performer in regional competition, Betet represents the generation of Indonesian surfers who came up through the Bukit’s waves and built careers on the consistency and power of what Uluwatu produces. His connection to Pantai Suluban is lifelong — the same road, the same reef, from childhood sessions to professional competition. Ours Home is proud to be part of his story.
Made Lana
Uluwatu, Bali
Made Lana brings a style to the Uluwatu break that is immediately recognisable — a blend of the flowing, rail-to-rail approach developed on the long point sections and the critical, tight-in-the-pocket surfing that the hollow sections demand. A Bukit local in the fullest sense, Made’s presence in the water at Suluban and Uluwatu proper is a constant. The support from Ours Home is part of a longer commitment to developing the conditions for Balinese surfers to compete and progress on their own terms, in their own waters.
Plekut
Uluwatu, Bali
Plekut is the youngest of the three riders supported by Ours Home, and the one whose trajectory points furthest forward. Coming through the Uluwatu community with a surfing that reflects the next generation of Balinese wave riding — technically precise, physically committed, and built on the kind of wave knowledge that only comes from surfing the same break in every condition over years — Plekut is the investment Ours Home makes in the future of what the Bukit produces in the water, not just at the table.
These three riders eat at Ours Home. They train near it, live near it, and use it the way anyone uses a restaurant that has earned its place in a community — as a reliable base, a good meal after a hard session, and a place where the people who work there know who you are.
Why the Surf Community Matters to Ours Home
A restaurant on Pantai Suluban that does not engage with the water and the people who use it is a restaurant that has missed the point of where it is.
Uluwatu’s surf community is not a marketing demographic. It is the reason this part of the Bukit exists as a destination in the first place. Before the restaurants, the villas, and the visitors, there were surfers who found their way down the cliff road and stayed. The culture that followed — the specific combination of commitment, physical courage, community, and connection to the natural environment — is the thing that makes the Bukit different from every other part of Bali.
Ours Home’s engagement with the surf community is an acknowledgment of that history and a contribution to its future. Supporting Betet, Made, and Plekut is one part of it. The sourcing decisions in the kitchen are another — locally grown, locally raised, prepared with care for what goes into a body that is going to be in the water the next morning. The early opening hours are another. The menu design is another.
Every decision at Ours Home that touches the community is connected to the same principle: a restaurant that genuinely belongs to a place behaves differently from one that is simply located there.
Our Community Partnerships
Beyond the surf, Ours Home is a proud partner of three organisations working in food, sustainability, and animal welfare across Bali. These partnerships are not brand associations — they are working relationships that connect the restaurant to the broader community it operates within.
Project Nasi
Food security · Community access · Local surplus redistribution
Project Nasi works on food insecurity in Bali by connecting food surplus from hospitality businesses with communities that need it. For Ours Home, the partnership with Project Nasi is a direct extension of the kitchen’s commitment to not wasting what the island produces. The same local sourcing that puts fresh Balinese ingredients on the table at Ours Home — rather than imported produce flown in from Java or further — is the sourcing philosophy that makes the Project Nasi relationship possible. A kitchen that cares about where food comes from is a kitchen that cares about where food goes. Nasi means rice in Indonesian. The name is the mission.
Forest Smoothie
Sustainable agriculture · Local produce · Environmental advocacy
Forest Smoothie operates at the intersection of sustainable food production and environmental advocacy in Bali. The organisation works with local farmers, producers, and food businesses to support agricultural practices that keep the island’s land and water systems functioning for the communities that depend on them. For Ours Home, the Forest Smoothie partnership formalises a sourcing relationship that was already implicit in the kitchen’s approach — the preference for local, seasonal, and minimally processed ingredients is not just a menu choice. It is a position on how food should move through an island economy.
Act4BaliDogs
Animal welfare · Rescue and rehabilitation · Community education
Act4BaliDogs works in animal rescue, rehabilitation, and community education across Bali, addressing the welfare of the island’s street dog population. The Bukit has its own community of dogs — visible on the cliff roads, around the access paths to the breaks, and in the warungs and restaurants along Pantai Suluban. Ours Home’s partnership with Act4BaliDogs is the clearest expression of a simple principle: that caring about the community you operate in extends to every living thing in it, not just the people. For the team at Ours Home, this one is personal.
These three partnerships sit alongside the surf community work as the complete expression of what Ours Home means when it says it is part of the Bukit. The food, the riders, the environmental relationships, and the animal welfare commitment are not separate initiatives. They are the same thing, expressed in different directions.
Ours Home Within the Ours Group
Ours Home is one venue within the Ours Group — a collection of restaurants and hospitality venues across Bali sharing the same commitment to quality, community, and experience. The group includes Ours Bali (Jl. Labuansait, Pecatu), Ours Spa, Ama by Ours, Tabu Bali, Mood by Ours, and The Beach by Ours.
Within the group, Ours Home holds a specific identity. It is the venue closest to the water — on the Suluban access road, at the base of the Bukit cliff — and the one most directly shaped by the surf and local community it serves. The other venues in the Ours Group share the same sourcing philosophy and commitment to quality. Ours Home adds to that the specific character that comes from being, quite literally, on the road to the break.
The Ours Group tagline — “the world is ours” — is the statement of a group that believes the places it operates in belong to everyone who lives and works in them. Ours Home takes that seriously. The surf riders, the partner organisations, the local suppliers, and the kitchen team are all part of what “ours” means on Pantai Suluban.
The Kitchen as Part of the Community
The Ours Home breakfast menu is not separate from the community story. The Steak & Eggs, the Acai Bowl, the Protein Shakes, and the full-plate recovery meals are the food that the surf community at Suluban has shaped over time — through what gets ordered, what gets reordered, and what the kitchen learned to do well for a crowd that demands real quality from their food because the water demands real quality from their bodies.
The partnership with Project Nasi and Forest Smoothie runs through the sourcing — the fresh, local ingredients on the Ours Home menu are not independent of the environmental relationships the restaurant holds. They are the same thing. A guide to healthy eating at Ours Home covers the menu in detail for anyone who wants to understand what “locally sourced” and “clean eating” actually mean in practice at this kitchen, rather than as a marketing phrase.
The Place: Pantai Suluban, Uluwatu
Ours Home is at Pantai Suluban St No.18, at the top of the road that leads down to one of the most respected reef breaks in Indonesia. The address is not coincidental. The restaurant was placed here because this is where the community it serves lives, trains, and returns to after time in the water.
For visitors who want to understand the Suluban area — the surf, the food, and what a full day here looks like — the Suluban guide covers the practical detail: the wave, the access, the food options up and down the road, and why Ours Home sits at the centre of it.
For the surf community who already know the road: the table is ready when you come out of the water. It always has been.
