Pura Luhur Uluwatu is one of Bali’s most sacred temples, dramatically perched atop a 70-meter-high cliff overlooking the vast Indian Ocean. Located in the southernmost part of Bali, this temple is not only a spiritual landmark but also one of the best places to witness Bali’s famous sunset views.
Why Visit Pura Luhur Uluwatu?
- Breathtaking Ocean Views – The temple’s cliffside location offers stunning panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.
- Spectacular Sunset Spot – Watch the sky transform into shades of gold, orange, and purple as the sun sets.
- Traditional Kecak Fire Dance – Witness the iconic Balinese Kecak dance performance at sunset, set against the stunning ocean backdrop.
- Sacred Hindu Heritage – As one of Bali’s six most important temples, Uluwatu plays a vital role in Balinese Hindu culture.
