Review:
Located on a beautiful cliff top near Pecatu Village about 15 miles south of Kuta, Luhur Uluwatu Temple is a must-see attraction for all visitors to Bali. The temple is believed to be one of the six spiritual pillars of Bali and the site has been home to a Hindu temple since the 11th century. The current temple complex includes a beautiful cliff-side pagoda, some crumbling stone arches, and a protective stone wall, all precariously perched 230 feet over the beach below. You will find that this site is one of the very best on the island for watching dramatic sunsets, and the site also hosts the nightly Kecak Fire Dance. The temple is said to be protected by dozens of mischievous monkeys – you need to keep an eye on your possessions.
