Uluwatu Temple, known locally as Pura Luhur Uluwatu, is one of Bali’s most famous sea temples. Perched dramatically on the edge of a 70-meter-high cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean, it offers one of the most breathtaking sunset views on the island. Located on Bali’s southwestern tip in Pecatu Village, Uluwatu is not only a stunning viewpoint but also a deeply spiritual site dedicated to the Hindu god Rudra, the guardian of the southwest direction.

The temple is believed to date back to the 10th century and is considered one of the Sad Kahyangan Jagat, the six key temples that protect Bali from evil spirits. The area around the temple is home to a large population of playful monkeys, believed by locals to guard the temple from negative influences. Visitors are advised to secure their belongings, as the monkeys are known to snatch items.

One of the main highlights is the Kecak Fire Dance performance held every evening at sunset. This traditional Balinese dance tells the story of the Ramayana and is accompanied by the rhythmic chanting of dozens of men, creating a magical atmosphere as the sun sets over the ocean.
