[Must-Visit Attractions]

Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu)
Highlights: Perched on a dramatic cliff 70 meters above the Indian Ocean, Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali’s most iconic sea temples. Come for the breathtaking sunset views, and stay for the traditional Kecak fire dance, performed daily at dusk. Watch out for the cheeky monkeys that roam the temple grounds!

Tegallalang Rice Terraces
Highlights: A lush, emerald-green expanse of stepped rice paddies just outside Ubud, Tegallalang offers one of Bali’s most photogenic landscapes. Walk the narrow paths between the terraces, enjoy a fresh coconut from a local vendor, and take in the traditional Balinese irrigation system known as subak.

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary (Ubud)
Highlights: A serene yet playful nature reserve and temple complex home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques. As you stroll under ancient banyan trees and moss-covered statues, you’ll feel the spiritual and natural harmony central to Balinese Hindu culture.
