The very popular region of Uluwatu in Bali offers a myriad of breathtaking attractions that are both natural and spiritual. Some of the best hotspots along these lines are listed below.
Tanah Lot is without a doubt the biggest highlight of Bali that it deserves to kick off this list. It is just a temple this place but its offshore setting, location atop a cliff, the quaint yet intriguing architecture and the backdrop of sheer perfection all contribute in making the Tanah Lot a truly remarkable attraction in Bali. In fact Tanah Lot is iconic to this island and if you have been researching Bali well before your trip you would have most certainly seen a picture or two of this stunning temple. The Tanah Lot though historic, is still a highly active temple that is etched with deep rooted spirituality and to this day entertains plenty of pilgrims as it does tourists.
When it comes to beaches, Padang Padang in Uluwatu probably steals the show. A coastline that is geared to entertain, Padang Padang is highly popular among surfers and everyone else looking for some concrete fun. An absolutely exciting strip of coastline to say the least, the beach can easily be accessed from the North side of the bridge located some 3 kilometres North of the Uluwatu Temple. Being the Surf hub of the island, plenty of resorts are located around the area including names such as Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort. If you plan on surfing this really is a beach that you must not miss out on.
Sea temples are a big thing in Bali and the Uluwatu Temple is yet another one of these magnificent places of worship. Located on the southwest cliff top which is approximately 70 metres above the crashing waves, the temple is also historic and highly venerated and is known above all for the festivities conducted here every sunset. For those visiting Uluwatu Temple witnessing the Ramayana ballet and the Kecak dance is an absolute must for you can capture some excellent pictures that are perfect for your holiday album. In addition to this, every 'Kliwon Medangsya' Tuesday on the Balinese 210-day pawukon calendar, the Uluwatu Temple celebrates its biannual piodalan temple anniversary which is quite the colourful festival. You can witness at this time plenty of pilgrims from all over the island who perform rituals and prayers at this place of worship.
If you are looking for a place to have a destination wedding in Bali, Blue Point is ideal. A place where relaxation is the highlight, Blue Point offers a quiet and tranquil setting and is located west of Padang Padang. Unlike many other beaches in Bali, Blue Point is quiet and has a picturesque setting that is further adorned with bamboo huts and massage parlours. With this picture-perfect backdrop, this beach is a perfect place to spend some quiet time with a loved one.
