Why go

A sea temple balanced on a seventy-metre cliff, waves detonating below, and a sky that runs through every shade of mango — Uluwatu is sunset as theatre, complete with an actual show: the kecak fire dance performed nightly in the clifftop amphitheatre. Propose on the quieter cliff path before the chanting begins, then let a hundred voices soundtrack the celebration.
