“Pura” means Temple in Balinese and around 20 kilometers northwest of Kuta, is one of Bali's most iconic temples, The Tanah Lot Temple. Tanah Lot´s spectacular seaside setting, on a rocky islet surrounded by crashing waves is mind blowing to all of its visittours.

The Tanah Lot Temple is one of the most sacred of all the island's sea temples for the Balinese people.

The Pura Tanah Lot was built at the beginning of the 16th century inspired of the priest Nirartha, who asked local fishermen to build a temple here after spending the night on the rock outcrop.
