Uluwatu Temple
Perched majestically on the rugged cliffs of Pecatu, the Uluwatu Temple stands as a breathtaking testament to Bali’s rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty.

The echo of traditional Balinese music fills the air, particularly during the nightly Kecak Fire Dance, which captivates audiences with its rhythmic chanting and mesmerizing storytelling that narrates tales from the Ramayana.
Beyond its sacred ambiance, Uluwatu is a treasure trove for surfers and adventure seekers, with world-renowned surf breaks that attract thrill-seekers from around the globe. The golden beaches nestled below the cliffs, such as Padang Padang and Bingin, invite sunbathers to unwind in blissful tranquility.
In this magical realm where spirituality meets sheer beauty, Uluwatu Temple effortlessly enchants those who venture here, making it a must-visit destination for travelers yearning to connect with Bali’s divine spirit while indulging in the island’s breathtaking landscapes.

Definitely a tourist trap but also a very pretty place to see the sunset from, to see the famous monkeys and also experience a balinese traditional dance!
