The monasteries of Bali are simply breathtaking to take in. Featuring a dazzling display of architecture coupled with equally absorbing tales of the past, these sanctuaries should always be looked at should one require a more leisurely holiday in this part of the world. Projecting a fine blend of local monasteries is the Uluwatu Monkey Temple which is found in close proximity to Alila Villas Uluwatu. Known for providing tasteful Bali boutique villas to the traveller of today, this property will afford you a wonderful opportunity to set out on an excursion to this temple by the sea.
Watch as the crashing waves beat on one of the most majestic of coastlines in all of Bali while you begin to comb every part of the Uluwatu Monkey Temple. One common sight would be the mischievous monkeys that are sure to want some of the eatables you have to nibble on. Be sure to capture this sight on camera as you meander through the premises of this temple that would lead out to mesmeric views of the ocean and beyond. Lush greenery adorns the cliff faces and therefore it is advised that you linger on for as much time as possible. Call at one of the monasteries here where you could offer prayers or spend a moment or two in quiet meditation. Seen as a great way by which one could learn of the local practices, the Uluwatu Monkey Temple should be considered a ‘must do’ when touring the island of the gods.
