Uluwatu Temple

Whoever picked the setting for the 11th-century sea temple of Uluwatu certainly knew how to create a dramatic backdrop; the spot perches over the edge of the cliffs with the emerald blue ocean sitting beyond. The best time to see the important religious site is at sunset, when you can also take in a traditional Kecak dance. Watch out for the cheeky monkeys, who have been known to run off with visitors’ belongings.
