The Uluwatu Temple, Tanah Lot, and Besakih Temple are some of the most famous and revered landmarks.

For a deeper cultural immersion, take a rewarding walk up Mount Lempuyang to see the ancient Lempuyang Temple, one of the island's oldest pre-Hindu structures. This historic temple, the third largest in Denpasar (Bali), is extremely important in Balinese culture and provides visitors with a breathtaking panoramic view of the island's eastern tip. From there, we recommend visiting Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, a 17th-century temple elegantly perched on the shores of Lake Beratan. Its ethereal presence, which appears to float on the water's surface, distinguishes it as an iconic and enchanting cultural attraction.

Immerse yourself in a vibrant marine wonderland of colourful coral reef gardens and a plethora of tropical fish species while diving or snorkelling in crystal-clear waters.
