THINGS TO
look out for
Monkeys at Uluwatu Temple
As enchan琀椀ng as Uluwatu Temple is, the local
monkeys are notorious for swiping sunglasses, hats,
and even phones from unsuspec琀椀ng visitors. Be
sure to keep a close eye on your belongings!

Uluwatu is a sacred area. Dress modestly when
visi琀椀ng temples (sarongs are usually provided at
temple entrances) and be mindful of local tradi琀椀ons.
Strong Currents at Certain Beaches
Uluwatu’s beaches are beau琀椀ful, but some
can have strong rip currents. Always swim in
designated areas and be cau琀椀ous, especially if
you’re unfamiliar with the waters.
Crowds at Sunset
Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali’s top spots for
sunsets, so it can get quite crowded. Arrive early
to secure a good viewing spot or head to a nearby
cli昀�op bar for a more laid-back experience.

Getting Around Uluwatu
The easiest way to get around Uluwatu is by
scooter, which can be rented for as li琀琀le as IDR
70,000 per day. Alterna琀椀vely, taxis and rideshare
services are available, but they can be more

remote beaches and cli昀昀side cafes. If you prefer
to take it easy, many areas can be explored on
foot, especially around the Uluwatu Temple and
its surrounding beaches.
