Uluwatu

Uluwatu, Indonesia

Perched on ragged limestone cliffs where the Indian Ocean plates crash into turquoise bowls, Uluwatu feels like the dramatic finale of Bali—an arena of wind, surf and light.

Perched on ragged limestone cliffs where the Indian Ocean plates crash into turquoise bowls, Uluwatu feels like the dramatic finale of Bali—an arena of wind, surf and light.Ancient waves have carved steep promontories crowned by the cliff-top Pura Luhur Uluwatu temple, where monkeys patrol stone stairways and evenings erupt in the trance‑like kecak fire dance against a molten sunset.
