Uluwatu Temple

Dramatic clifftop temple 70 meters above the ocean, famous for stunning sunsets and mesmerizing Kecak fire dance performances.

Uluwatu Temple sits dramatically on a 70-meter clifftop overlooking the Indian Ocean, one of six key temples protecting Bali from evil spirits. The ancient temple dates back to the 11th century and is considered one of Bali's most spiritual places.

The temple is famous for its nightly Kecak fire dance performances at sunset, where dozens of male performers chant and move in hypnotic unison. Mischievous monkeys roam the temple grounds - secure your belongings!
