Surrounded by white, sandy beaches, Bali is not only a beach Mecca for the masses. Here are some of the top highlights located in this pristine piece of paradise off the coast of Indonesia.
Uluwatu Temple
As one of Bali’s iconic sea temples, Uluwatu Temple, or Pura Luhur Uluwatu, is a cultural landmark that sits atop a towering cliff at the edge of the coast. Believed to have been built during the 10th century, the temple remains a revered place of worship among local and visiting Hindu devotees alike. Folklore dictates that the temple has protected the island from evil ocean spirits since time immemorial.
Ubud Monkey Forest
Ideally located within 10 minutes of the heart of Ubud town in Bali, the Monkey Forest is officially called the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary due to the large number of mischievous creatures occupying its confines. Animal lovers and avid hikers will enjoy a tour of this verdant corner of the island where paved trails are laid across ancient temples, nutmeg trees and mystical statues. Those based at Anantara Ubud Bali Villas or any similar luxury residences for sale or rent in the area will be within close range of this sanctuary.
Nusa Dua Beach
While Bali is home to a large number of stunning beaches, Nusa Dua is perhaps one of the few locations where one can enjoy a tranquil day at the beach without the hustle and bustle of urban Bali infringing on your holiday.
Mount Batur
With an impressive height of 1700m, Mount Batur is hard to miss no matter where one is based in Bali. This active volcano is not only a prime hiking hub but also a sacred location where one can not only enjoy a picnic in nature but also camp out.
