Uluwatu Temple

Entry is paid at the gate, and the fee is shown when you get there, as of Oct 2026. A sarong and sash are normally provided at the entrance, and the evening Kecak dance nearby sells its own ticket. The Book box shows partner tours and current prices.

The clifftop grounds are typically open 7:00 AM–7:00 PM daily, as of Oct 2026. A traditional dance is staged at an open-air stage nearby in the late afternoon. Sunset is the busiest time, with slow traffic on the roads, so a morning visit is usually calmer.

A sarong and sash are expected, and the temple normally provides them at the entrance, as of Oct 2026. Macaques here grab loose things, so hold phones, glasses and bags close. Dress respectfully on the clifftop paths too, as the temple remains a place of worship.

The temple is on the Bukit peninsula at the far south of Bali. There is no rail on the island, so people come by car, taxi or scooter, as of Oct 2026; the map on this page shows the car park near the entrance.

You can walk the grounds and the cliffside paths high above the ocean, but the central courtyards are entered only during special rituals. The wide views over the Indian Ocean surf are the main draw, with the gates and shrines seen from both sides and surfers in the swell below.
