Uluwatu Temple and Suluban Beach

• Uluwatu Temple

Uluwatu Temple is one of the oldest temples in Indonesia and sits on the cliffs up above the ocean. It offers amazing views out to the ocean, sunset, and surrounding beaches. It is also used by surfers down on the beach who learn rather quickly to direct themselves in the waves according to the direction of the temple.
This is a Hindu temple erected as a worshipping ground to the "spirits of the sea." It has become a hot spot for visitors to Uluwatu and a legend to all local surfers.
There are also raves held at the temple and along the beaches anytime there is a full moon. The raves held inside the temple will be a lot calmer than those found on the beaches, which may be more ideal for many travelers who want to experience this exciting form of Indonesian full moon celebration.
And don't forget to watch the "Kecak Dance" performance, it's very exciting to watch this performance with exotic view of the beach.

• Suluban Beach

One of the best beaches to stay at in the Uluwatu area is Suluban Beach. Suluban Beach is close to the Uluwatu Temple.There are amazing cliffs running along the beach with comfortable villas nestled in the cliffs which can be rented at reasonable prices. The surf is always hot on this beach, with many tourists enjoying the atmosphere created by the mix of enthusiastic travelers and the locals who happen to be excellent surfers as well.
You can find Suluban Beach at the Pecatu Village and will find it to be one of the more peaceful, relaxing beaches in Uluwatu. Besides surfing, we can enjoy snorkeling and other adventures that aren't quite as risky.
This area of Bali is known for being a hot spot for more advanced surfers. Beginners or those who are not quite comfortable on more dangerous waves may not feel comfortable hitting the water with the expert locals who have been living on the waves their entire lives.
