With good reason this mysterious and beautiful island is known as the Island of the Gods. No matter where your Bali villa is located you and your family will never be far from one of Bali's spectacular temples.
While on holiday you are guaranteed to experience a wonderful myriad temple ceremony. Every few days the Balinese gather at the temple dressed in their immaculate traditional clothing. You can see the lorry loads of men, women and children transported from their village to the temple.
Everyday the local women place beautiful offerings outside the temples and their homes. The carefully handcrafted offering can also be seen on the sidewalks, stairwells and ledges. The significance of the offerings is to wish for peace in the world and give thanks to the Gods.
Hear the unique sounds of the metal instruments and bamboo flutes that echo the streets as you drive home to your Bali villa after a fun day out. The same instruments accompany the traditional Balinese dance which is definitely worth seeing while on holidays in Bali.
Ancient Temples & Sanctuaries Near Your Bali Villa
No Bali villa holiday is complete without exploring some of Bali's magical and magnificent temples. Temples that you and your family should visit include;
Tanah Lot – located in the Tabanan regency. The ancient Hindu shrine is perched on the edge of the rocks amidst the constant crashing waves. Stroll up to the restaurants, to watch the captivating sunset. Along the way pass by the Kopi Luwak coffee cafe. Have a coffee and see the civet cats unwind after a hard days work!
Uluwatu Temple – The Balinese sea temple located in Uluwatu. It shares a similar backdrop to Tanah Lot, however set on the cliff top, 70 metres above the crashing waves, the sea views are more dramatic.
Goa Gajah – located on the outskirts of Ubud. Goa Gajah translates to 'Elephant Cave'. It was originally built next to the temple courtyard for meditation purposes.
Ulun Danu Beratan Temple – located in Tabanan regency. This picturesque temple is located next to Beratan Lake and protected by the mountains, providing a beautiful dreamy backdrop.

Pura Gunung Kawi - this unique archaeology site overlooks the Pakerisan River in central Bali. Take the steps down to see the ancient shrines carved into the rock face.
There is a specific kind of stillness that settles over you after a morning spent among these ancient rock-carved shrines. It is a quietness that deserves to be protected. For those who wish to remain within this cultural heartland, our villas in Ubud are tucked away among the surrounding rice paddies and jungle canopies — designed not just as a place to stay, but as a continuation of that same meditative calm. While Tanah Lot and Uluwatu offer the drama of the coast, returning to a private sanctuary in Ubud allows you to experience the island’s 'thousand temples' at a different pace — one where the sounds of the Pakerisan River and the morning mist become your only schedule.
