Uluwatu Temple

With a name that loosely translates to “something divine at the end of the land”, Uluwatu Temple has become a destination for travelers seeking incredible views of the Bali countryside.  Perched on the edge of an ocean cliff, the temple overlooks some of the country’s famous surf breaks and is considered one of the six most important structures of its kind in Bali. Wander the well-kept grounds and take in the beautiful picturesque views, but do all you can to avoid the wild monkeys, as they can get aggressive quickly. Stay until sunset and enjoy one of the nightly traditional Kecak dance performances before heading back into town. 

Practical Info

Uluwatu Temple is about 45 minutes from Nusa Dua via a hilly pass through lush scenery dotted with luxury homes. It does cost a small fee to enter and sarongs are available for rental at the entrance.
