3. Seminyak Beach

8. Uluwatu Temple

Having experienced the delights of Uluwatu Beach, amble up to the Uluwatu Temple. Here, marvel at one of the oldest religious buildings in Bali.

The immense crashing sound of the waves adds to the dramatic setting; it's easy to understand why this spot has long inspired humility in men.
