Uluwatu, Bali - Indonesia

Uluwatu’s history centers on the sacred Pura Luhur Uluwatu, a 10th-century sea temple established by Mpu Kuturan, who unified Balinese Hindu traditions and recognized the cliff as a spiritually powerful point. The temple gained deeper significance in the 16th century when the revered sage Dang Hyang Nirartha reached his final earthly destination here and attained Moksha, leaving behind a sacred legacy that still defines the area. Over centuries, the temple has been preserved with traditional Balinese architecture and remains one of Bali’s six major directional temples protecting the island from negative forces. Today, historical tours by SEMAT TRAVEL INDONESIA and easy access via SESARI TRANSPORT allow visitors to appreciate Uluwatu not only as a viewpoint, but as one of Bali’s most important spiritual landmarks.
