Located in Bukit, Uluwatu is a culturally rich part of Bali that provides an idyllic getaway where one can learn more about the island’s rich heritage. Those in search of Bali resorts in the region from which to set off on their cultural tours can stay at Anantara Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa. It is amongst the leading Uluwatu hotels and is ideally situated within easy reach of one of the country’s most famous temples; the Pura Luhur Uluwatu.
A “must visit” when it comes to experiencing Uluwatu culture is Pura Luhur Uluwatu or Uluwatu Temple which can be found in Pecatu Village. Sitting atop a cliff, this well known sacred site not only provides visitors with a glimpse into the island’s religious traditions and traditional temple architecture, but also offers some truly breathtaking views, especially at sunset. Travellers in search of a complete cultural experience should take in the traditional kecak and fire dances that take place at the site in the evenings. A fascinating visitor experience awaits at the Garuda Vishnu Kencara Cultural Park where one will find some truly awe-inspiring statues too. For more modern cultural pursuits in Uluwatu, you can head to one of the area’s popular surfing points and enjoy a care-free ride on the waves!
