Uluwatu, Cliff temples, world-class surf, and the most dramatic sunsets on the island
Uluwatu sits on the southern cliffs of the Bukit peninsula, limestone walls, white-sand coves at the base, and a temple that ends every day with a fire dance. From Villa Leaf it's an hour south. We recommend a full day with Putu: a beach in the morning, the temple at sunset.
