Mengwi, Indonesia skyline: the 20 most iconic buildings and best views in Mengwi

Very beautiful and well-maintained temple which is also part of the World Heritage UNESCO sites. The temple garden is very beautifully crafted, and entry to the main sanctum is not allowed for foreigners in every temple. You can visit the temple and witness the beautiful Balinese architecture. The temple was quiet and less crowded than other tourist places and temples in Bali. The entry ticket to this temple is 30k IDR.

Wow! Such a beautiful temple area. Entrance fee for foreigners is totally fine and definitely worth it. They also provide a Sarong for free. I took probably too many pictures but it’s a real gem. We came here shortly before closing time and hat the area almost for ourselves. If you want to see a beautiful Pura without driving to far out, this is it. Thank you for inviting us to witness some of Bali’s culture. 🙏🏻 Suksma

Well maintained site of historical significance. You cannot go into the temple itself but a visitor path around the perimeter gives you a good view of the site. A viewing platform half way through the path offers good photo vantage point.

The place is really spacious and cool, with lots of tall trees. The entrance and parking are also easy. It’s not too crowded, so it’s nicer to explore, especially for those who enjoy exploring temples.

Taman Ayun Temple is a peaceful and stunning spot showcasing Bali’s royal heritage. Surrounded by water gardens, its traditional architecture and tranquil atmosphere make it perfect for quiet reflection and photography. A must-visit for culture lovers seeking a less crowded experience!!

Wonderful and nice. A very serene experience. Temple is in a lake surrounded by mountains. A must visit. So calm and peaceful.❣️

Beautiful Temple and pristine gardens with pretty flowers. Ww loved our visit especially feeding the Koy Fish.

Actually It’s a park which is a must place to visit and picnic while in Bali. Watch the high tides striking the cliffs and a beautiful sunset. An exquisite park to roam around and relax with some fine dining options. The temple is at some distance with no direct access and you don’t need to visit it

Tanah Lot Temple, Bali – A Majestic Sea Temple on the Rocks Tanah Lot Temple is one of Bali’s most iconic landmarks, renowned for its stunning offshore setting and mesmerizing sunset views. Perched on a rocky outcrop surrounded by the sea, the temple appears to float during high tide, creating a truly magical sight. Located in Tabanan Regency, around 20 km from Denpasar, Tanah Lot is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a mix of spirituality, culture, and natural beauty. The name Tanah Lot means “Land in the Sea” in Balinese, perfectly describing its dramatic position. The temple is dedicated to the sea gods and plays an important role in Balinese mythology. Legend says that it was established by the 16th-century priest Dang Hyang Nirartha, who built it after being inspired by the beauty of the coastline. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking ocean views, especially during sunset when the sky glows in shades of orange and gold, creating one of Bali’s most photographed moments. During low tide, tourists can walk across to the base of the temple, explore small caves with sea snakes believed to be sacred protectors, and witness local rituals performed by Balinese priests. The area around Tanah Lot features beautifully landscaped gardens, souvenir markets, and several cliffside restaurants offering panoramic views. It is also a popular spot for cultural performances and traditional dance shows held in the evenings. Tanah Lot is open daily, with the best time to visit being late afternoon to witness the sunset spectacle. Visitors are encouraged to dress modestly as it remains an active place of worship. In short: Tanah Lot Temple is not just a tourist attraction — it’s a symbol of Bali’s spiritual harmony, where nature and faith blend into an unforgettable experience.

Tanah lot temple is located in the sea side, one of the famous sea temples in Bali. Tanah Lot translates to "Land in the sea". The temple is built on a rock formation off the cost making it appear to float on the sea during high tide. It is famous for the stunning sunset views. Plan your trip to make sure that you will be able to witness the sunset from there. At the base of the temple, there is holy water which is guarded by snakes. We can enter here and seek blessings as well. There is lot of shops available for shopping near the entry and exit gates. Also, the famous traditional Balinese gate is there for photo shoots. Worth visiting 👍

Must-visit when you’re in Bali! I went here around sunset, and it was absolutely breathtaking. What I really love about this place is that it’s not just about the view. It’s a complete experience. There are plenty of little shops selling local souvenirs and crafts, a variety of restaurants and cafés where you can grab a meal or a fresh coconut while enjoying the ocean breeze, and sometimes you can even catch traditional Balinese dance performances near the temple area. The energy and atmosphere here feel both peaceful and lively at the same time. It can get a bit crowded during sunset, but it’s worth it. Just take your time, find a good spot, and enjoy the moment. If you’re planning a trip to Bali, don’t skip Tanah Lot. You’ll leave with amazing photos and even better memories.

The church itself is beautiful. It's worth a visit. We were there during low tide, so we could get quite close to the church and even went to a part of it. To go up, the local priests must first bless you, and then they'll let you onto the stairs. I don't think the church itself is open to tourists. It wasn't crowded, which was also a plus.

Absolutely stunning place. The temple on the sea is beautiful. The waves crashing around the temple is fabulous. Has cafes and food also people selling there wares. Plenty of parking Sea views . Well worth a visit

A must-visit cultural and scenic landmark in Bali! Tanah Lot is absolutely breathtaking, with the ocean. The coastal views are stunning, and the spiritual atmosphere adds a unique charm. One of Bali’s most iconic spots, this temple is stunning on clear days and at sunset. Expect strong winds and waves that add to its dramatic charm. Explore both sides of the temple for unique views. Nearby, a lively market offers reasonably priced souvenirs from local vendors There are a couple of special experiences here — you can view the holy snake (for a fee) and receive spring water near the entrance in the ocean. The area is popular with tourists, so expect crowds, but it’s well-managed with lots of local shops and stalls along the way. A beautiful blend of nature, culture, and tradition — highly recommended!

Normally you see ogoh ogoh only before Nyepi (The Silent Day) but here you can go everyday. Seeing huge and scary ogoh ogoh. No tickets needed but you are encouraged to give donation. Place is quite small

Small and local museum, which shows really well the tradition of Bali with real demon statue. The quality is amazing, it was really impressive. This complements the Taman Ayun temple well. Also there is a warm welcome and kind people.

If you want to see ogoh-ogoh but you are a person who are looking to avoid large crowds or can't visit Bali during Nyepi, this place offers a fantastic alternative! They have a collection of over 20 ogoh-ogoh on display, including a massive one you can take a photo with. The ogoh-ogoh are incredibly detailed, standing tall at 3-5 meters and portraying God or fierce creatures. The owner is very knowledgeable and provides interesting insights about the ogoh-ogoh tradition. This museum is a fantastic resource to learn about and experience Balinese culture. The entrance fee is 20k IDR per person (as of March 2024). Please keep in mind since most ogoh-ogoh are crafted from styrofoam and paper, they are quite fragile. It's always a good idea to ask the owner before touching it. Outside the museum, there are hawker stalls selling variety of local food and beverages, so you can grab a bite to eat after your visit. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place! I was so happy to see and take photos with Shiva, Barong, Rangda, and other cool ogoh-ogoh.

Cost Rp 10,000 for adults and Rp 5,000 for children to visit. Completely worth it!!! The owner informed me that for Bali New Year, people make these giant monsters, and whatever ones don't get burned he buys it to add to his collection. Pictures don't capture how giant and cool these are!!! If you like monsters, highly recommend checking this place out!

Terrifyingly stunning, a small but amazing museum and the only place you can see the ogoh ogoh not during the holiday. One of the highlights of my trip. Truly unique and fascinating. It's a small donation of 10'000 rupiah (i would give more).

Small museum with donation. Inside, many Balinese Ogoh-Ogoh in their full size. The details of every Ogoh-Ogoh was amazing. Kinda scary but very interesting. Worth to visit, and you can also visit the beautiful Pura Taman Ayun, just a walking distance.

A really interesting collection of huge monstrous sculptures. The owner and curator of the collection was eager to tell us about their significance and help us take pictures with them. A unique experience that's worth a visit.

Great place with great history. Well maintained and free to visit.

Made up of four areas. The first area is lawn garden, the next is a pond, then the monuments, then a garden with coverage from trees. The locals use the lawn area for as their park, and the track around for their fitness. It was free to enter, and there are food stalls and whatnot outside.

The Puputan Margarana War Memorial in Margarana village stands as a solemn tribute to the brave souls who gave their lives for Bali's freedom. The memorial serves as a reminder of the island's enduring commitment to its traditions, culture, and independence. Great road trip destination. No entrance fee but you leave a donation in the donation box

A memorial park dedicated to heroes who had fallen in the war of Margarana, 1946, one of them is who we know as I Gusti Ngurah Rai, he led battle in frontline. Since the war happened long time ago, there's not much activity going on in this place, only some few people visiting their ancestors graveyard and all feel so peaceful and serene. There's a big monuments, plenty amount of graveyards and some ponds to feed the fishes.

Another brilliant stop on the way from Canggu for a fun ride through amazing scenery. Beautiful place to stop and have a walk through the memorial. We had an educational and wholesome experience. There are some vendors and restaurants to serve you food and drinks. We met some very friendly locals who recommended some other places nearby to stop and enjoy. 5/5

This place is not a real grave, just monument of our big heros that fought for our freedom. Around 1,372 heros fought in 1945 - 1950 and they came from all around Bali. The hall for meeting also available I front of the monument. Inside the monument, fish pond surround the monument that collect some historical clothes and weapons during the war. And this place is famous for camping.

Another nice cycling route. Margarana is a monument to remind us the fight to gain our independent. Nice scenery when on your way from Margarana to Tabanan town.

It’s a wonderful villa with amazing beach view and friendly staff. We stayed there for 3 nights for an important mentor’s wedding in our life. Hope the management team can listen to customers’ vice and understand what’s matters.

Our holiday at Seseh Beach Villas exceeded expectations. The setting is stunning, the villas are beautifully decorated and well designed to blend with the lush surrounding vegetation. We loved the pools and the view was amazing, especially at sunset. The staff were delightful and always helpful and efficient. We could not recommend these villas highly enough for a very special holiday.

We had our wedding at Seseh Beach Villas and our stay was absolutely incredible. We had our immediate family stay in one villa and the bridal party in the other , accomodating 23 Adults and 2 children. The facilities were immaculate and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything you wanted or needed was taken care of. They often knew what you wanted or needed before even asking and their service was incredible. We used the in-house chef for all our meals and it was some of the best eating we had during our whole trip. It was affordable and convenient, which meant we spent more time enjoying the villas spectacular beach views and less time out in the hustle and bustle. If you are thinking of travelling with a big group of family and friends or holding and event Seseh Beach Villas is the perfect place. Thank you so much for the memories, Grace and Ryan x

We recently had our wedding at Seseh Beach Villas, The place is amazing, We had Villa 1,2 and the front grassed area for 3 nights, Each time you moved between Ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception it felt like you were in a whole new location. 
The staff were all amazing and so nice they were there for anything you needed and happy to have good fun with everyone, We couldn’t recommend this villa any higher Definitely one of the premium locations to get Married in Bali.

Unbelievable stay at Seseh beach villas. We had such an incredible experience with our families and the most amazing wedding ever! The staff were incredibly kind and looked after us so well. We will remember our stay here forever. Love, Katie and Dan x

Nestled along the enchanting shores of Seseh Beach, Seseh Beach Villa unveiled a realm of serenity that left me utterly spellbound. From the moment I arrived, the seamless blend of nature and luxury embraced me, creating an unforgettable escape in the heart of Bali. Every aspect of my stay was meticulously curated, and the genuine warmth of the staff made me feel like a cherished guest throughout. The villa itself was a haven of elegance and comfort. The meticulously designed rooms exuded a sense of tranquility, offering a harmonious balance between contemporary luxury and traditional Balinese aesthetics. With the panoramic views of the turquoise ocean and the lush gardens surrounding the villa, every moment was a picturesque retreat.

One of our most favourite experiences in our life was getting married at Seseh Villas! The staff were Absolutely phenomenal, so kind, helpful, smiley and lovely. The food was incredible!! If we ever do a group stay again, we will be sure to stay at Seseh Villas.

good place for study about balinese culture and traditional ceremonies, the ticket is very cheap and the guide of this museum is so friendly so you can ask everthing about balinese traditional ceremonies with them

Love this museum. Because we could learn more about the culture and also the ceremonies in Bali. We always see offerings on the roadside, on the ceremonies but bever knew the meaning and what's the difference in use.

Very beautiful unique temple at the black sand ocean side. Lanscape is amazing but there is a lot of trash and debris. If it would be cleaned, it would be one of the must see places.

Be there from 17:00 / 05:00 pm. Make sure you have your own vehicle or that someone can come and pick you up when you're finished. No gojek will come to pick you up there at night, while they can drop you during daytime. You can't go into the temple but you can climb the big rocks and walk the beach on the right side when you face the ocean. Cross the river, walk a bit further and watch the sunset turning into night while sitting on the soft black sand. No loud music, close to nobody on the beach, no beach clubs. Only you, the waves crashing, the wind, the sunset colours and then the cosmos above. The most magical expérience.

Beautiful temple to visit when you’re on the way to tanah lot. The way to the temple is very beautifull, because you drive right through the rice terraces! Free entry

You will meet with many of local fisher here with heavy blowing wave hitting coral stone.. the beach sand beside this place is not good I think.. and too much trash on the beach.

Its beautiful and astonishing nature around the place despite no entry allowed to the interior of the tempel.

The scenery is beautifull. The temple itself is nice but you can not go inside, so there is not that much to see. When we were there it was very quiet, no other visitors.

Temple by rock in Cemagi Village. Not so many tourist visiting here. You will see rice field and the farmer, in your way to the beach

The church itself is beautiful. It's worth a visit. We were there during low tide, so we could get quite close to the church and even went to a part of it. To go up, the local priests must first bless you, and then they'll let you onto the stairs. I don't think the church itself is open to tourists. It wasn't crowded, which was also a plus.

Be warned, the temple on Tanah Lot is inaccessible to tourists. Even after "donating" for some water ritual, all you can access is a small flight of stairs to a closed gate and you will start wondering what those water ritual is all about. We were later told that the temple is only open to Balinese for prayer. If they had told us earlier or a simple sign board stating this, I would have skip that water ritual plus "donation" which felt more like a tourist trap. Just walk around the beaches which is pretty nice.

Amazing temple on the rocks just slightly out in the water. Need to come when low tide to get across as the path is closed at high tide. Best to bring a pair of sandals so you can change in case the water is coming in. You get blessed the bottom by the priests and then you can go a little way up the steps but not right to the temple. Great views by the temple ND around the grounds. There are some restaurants up on the cliffs that over look the temple. There is also a market as you walk from the entrance to the temple.

“Breathtaking View & Magical Sunset” Tanah Lot Temple is truly one of Bali’s most iconic landmarks! The temple sits beautifully on a rock formation surrounded by the ocean, and the view during sunset is simply magical. It’s a perfect spot for photography. Tip: Visit during low tide if you want to walk closer to the temple There are also small shops and cafes nearby to relax and enjoy the scenery. A must-visit when in Bali! 🌅 Ticket for whole area : Foreign adult (international visitor): IDR 75,000

A must-visit cultural and scenic landmark in Bali! Tanah Lot is absolutely breathtaking, with the ocean. The coastal views are stunning, and the spiritual atmosphere adds a unique charm. One of Bali’s most iconic spots, this temple is stunning on clear days and at sunset. Expect strong winds and waves that add to its dramatic charm. Explore both sides of the temple for unique views.

Entrance is a bit pricey, seeing that they want you time spend more money inside on souvenirs (some very persistent vendors), toilet entrance fees and donations at the temple. Pity that temple is currently closed for renovations. Great views and a good experience, but for me personally a bit underwhelming.

Pura Tanah Lot is simply breathtaking! 🌊🏯 The temple’s location right on the rocks by the ocean makes it one of the most iconic sights in Bali. Visiting during sunset is pure magic 🌅✨ – the colors, the sound of the waves, and the silhouette of the temple create an unforgettable atmosphere. Even with other visitors around, the place feels peaceful and special. A must-see for every Bali trip! 🙌🌺

Pretty cool experience with the cheapest and basic cleanse being 300k per person. This does come with a complimentary drink at the end along with traditional clothing, locker space, and a towel. The guide was very friendly and took some cool photos. They really know how to work the different camera features but it would've been nice if they spammed the photos so we would have more options to choose from. A lot of our photos were super cool but would usually have us not properly positioned or blinking This is definitely a huge social media activity despite it being a religious activity so be aware that they will constantly record and take your picture which is both good and bad because it helps capture the scenic memories but also ruins the vibe

It's a sureal experience once in my life time to held a Melukat Ritual here at Beji Griya Park Waterfall. The ritual not only teach us how to value a human as part of nature, but human as the leader of themself also. The misk make everything looks like from the other dimension, and the solemn felling came rushing from the sound of water and silentness. We recommending to use a private course, and come to waterfall as early as possible to make sure not to line up too long and getting a true significancy of the Melukat.

Don't worry about the price; it's an incredible experience; you'll never experience it again. With a guide, you'll experience a kind of soul-cleansing experience. The guides are very helpful and take incredible photos. They deserve a tip. You witness how people worship the gods they believe in.

I visit the temple with my family. Despite the fact that it is a bit touristic (we had to wait one hour to get started - there is a restaurant serving good food and juice at a good price) it was a great opportunity for our kids to discover new beliefs, gods and cultes. We did the purification ritual, which consists of giving, praying, releasing bad energy, increasing good energy and holy water benediction. Other rituals are available such as trauma healing ❤️‍🩹

It’s one of the most incredible moments for me altering living in Bali for 7 months. I was emotionally connected with all Devine energy and I love my guide Diya (spelling is wrong) she is the pure ambassador for this place. Loved the pictures and video .

I went on a weekday morning, and it was super amazing experience! The guide Ngurah ABS was super nice, took lots of videos and photos. When I come back to Bali I definitely come back. The facility is very clean, has locker, towel etc. So it’s recomendable for everyone :)

The waterfall is stunning and the experience is very cool, but they have definitely sold out all bits of culture and now the guides are more focused on taking pictures than the actual meaning of the ritual. If you’re focused on pictures only then this is your place. If you want a truly amazing experience then they’ll your “guide” in advance that you want to experiment the moment and don’t need 100 pictures at the end.

Pura sada was very nice place.it was memorable place,but sorry I could'nt take any photoes,because my mobile was discharged.

An interesting and mystical place.

Offering festival every Saturday Kliwon Kuningan

Beautiful temple

Old temple close to canggu

very nice

Ancient place since my ancestors
