Bali is known for many things, including stunning waterfalls and relaxing beaches, but some of its most interesting attractions include its beautiful temples, many of which are historical and architectural gems. Despite its small size, Bali is a land of over 10,000 Hindu temples. With so many to choose from, it might be hard to wrap your head around all of the available information and make a proper informed choice. That’s why we put together this guide on the Best and Most Beautiful Temples and Palaces in Bali to help decide and prioritize which temples you want to see during your time on the island. To further help with this decision, we will also highlight which temples are the most crowded, which are hidden gems, which are best for water purification rituals, and which are the most unique, in addition to our own personal favorites. We will also organize the temples geographically and include a map of Bali with all of the temples’ locations.

General Information on Balinese Temples and Palaces

Most temples worth visiting on Bali tend to be located away from the island’s major towns, though there are exceptions. The vast majority are also located either north or east of Ubud, making it a great base from which to explore many of them – though Sidemen can also serve as a great base to explore them, particularly those located in east Bali.

In addition to Balinese Hindu temples, which are active places of worship, we will also cover in this guide a few former Royal Palaces and traditional villages, which provide very similar visiting experiences to the temples.

–Temple Visiting Attire: As with all Balinese temples, it’s important to dress modestly and to ensure your shoulders and knees are covered when visiting Balinese temples. Although this is not strictly enforced in all places (such as in the former Royal Palaces), it is in most temples, particularly those that require that you pay an entrance fee to visit – in fact, these temples will also provide you with a mandatory sarong and sash rental to wear during your visit (included with the entrance fee).

–Entrance Fees: Although a few smaller temples in Ubud are free to visit (most of which are covered in a separate guide), most temples require that you pay a modest admission fee to visit, typically between 50,000 IDR and 100,000 IDR per person (2025), which roughly amounts to 3 to 6 US$/€. Having the exact change or small bills to pay for all costs is preferable as the majority of temples don’t accept credit cards and they may not have enough change for large bills.

–Best Time to Visit: As a general rule, the earlier you visit a temple during the day the better. Some of the more popular temples get quite crowded during the middle of the day, which definitely makes for a less enjoyable visit.

–Temple Opening Hours and Planning: The temples vary in their opening times, but typically open sometime between 7 am and 9 am. If you plan to visit several temples on the same day and are an early riser, you can try to visit them in the order that they open to maximize your chances of visiting them with fewer other people around.

–Temple Popularity: Although we will specifically mention further below which temples are the busiest and most crowded, another good cue to use is the number of Google Maps reviews they have (the larger the number, the more popular the temple).

– Local touts: Try not to be turned off by the various vendors and people trying to sell you things around the temple car parks. This is just the locals trying to make a living and you’ll encounter them at most temples. If you are not interested, just say no thanks and continue onwards towards the temple.
Also, don’t fall for those trying to convince you that you need to buy a sarong before entering the temple. As we mentioned above, all temples that charge an entrance fee will provide you with a sarong and sash rental (both included in the entrance fee).

Best Temples and Palaces in East Bali

Tirta Gangga Water Palace

Though it shares similarities with many traditional Balinese temples, Tirta Gangga is not a temple but a former royal palace and was named after the sacred river Ganges in India, symbolizing the holy water of life and reflecting its spiritual importance. Known for its stunning water ponds, beautiful fountains, lush gardens, and intricate stone carvings, the palace has significantly grown in popularity over the past years due to the photogenic and Instagrammable stepping stones that allow you to cross one of the water ponds. 

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Tirta Gangga Water Palace Guide.

Taman Ujung Water Palace

Taman Ujung Water Palace is an extravagant former king’s palace. It was built in the early 20th century by the same king who was behind Tirta Gangga Water Palace and is known for its large ponds, impeccably manicured gardens, beautiful bridges and historic “floating” pavilions, all of which show an impressive blend of Balinese, Chinese, and Dutch influences. The Taman Ujung Water Palace complex is the largest temple or palace site we visited in Bali, it receives significantly fewer visitors than Tirta Gangga, and you can enjoy peaceful moments wandering around the beautifully manicured paths that crisscross the water palace grounds.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Taman Ujung Water Palace Temple Guide.

Goa Lawah Temple

Although the temple is one of Bali’s most important temples from a spiritual and cultural perspective, the main draw for tourists is the large cave that is home to thousands of bats. Although you are not allowed to enter the bat cave, you can still get pretty close to admire these creatures of the night. Pura Goa Lawah was established in the 11th century by Mpu Kuturan, one of the first priests to introduce Hinduism to Bali.

The bats here are mainly nectar bats (Eonycteris Spele), which means they eat fruit and are not a threat to people.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Goa Lawah Temple Guide.

Kertha Gosa Park

Kertha Gosa Park is a rare temple complex that is located in the heart of a large city (Semarapra) that stands where a larger palace once stood from the 17th century until the early 20th century when it was destroyed during the Dutch colonial conquest. Although not a large complex, it makes for a fascinating visit as several museum-like buildings host important historical artifacts from both before and during the colonial conquest, highlighting many important moments of Bali’s history.

Best Temples in Northwest Bali

Pura Luhur Batukaru

Originally built in the 11th Century, Pura Luhur Batukaru is one of Bali’s oldest and most significant temples (although it was left in ruins for centuries until it was restored in the mid-20th century). It’s one of our favorite hidden gems in Bali – an important Hindu temple built on the slopes of the giant Mount Batukaru (a currently inactive volcano). It’s a beautiful temple complex to visit for nature lovers, with verdant trees and lush vegetation growing all over and around the complex, a great example of how Balinese architecture can often harmoniously blend with its natural surroundings.

Given its somewhat remote location in central Bali, it is also far less crowded than other popular Balinese temples, allowing you to develop a true sense of tranquillity during your visit. The temple’s close proximity to the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces makes it easy to combine both attractions on a day trip from Ubud or elsewhere.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Pura Luhur Batukaru Temple Guide.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple

Set on the tranquil shores of beautiful Lake Beratan and known as Bali’s floating temple, Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is one of Bali’s most popular and scenic Hindu temples. Dating from the 17th century, Ulun Danu Beratan temple is one of the island’s nine directional temples and was built to honour the Balinese water goddess Dewi Danu, due to the importance of Lake Beratan as a main source of Bali’s UNESCO-recognized Subak irrigation system.

The architecture of Ulun Danu Beratan is an impressive blend of Hindu and Buddhist elements, showcasing the harmonious coexistence of both religions in Bali. The temple complex consists of several shrines and pagodas, each with its unique style and purpose. The most iconic structure is the 11-tiered Meru, Tower dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and his consort Parvati.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Ulun Danu Beratan Temple.

Best Temples in Central Bali

Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu

Although Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu isn’t an overly large temple complex, it seems to be jam-packed with things to see. In particular, it is filled with several relaxing koi ponds, fountains and bathing pools designated for purification rituals, in addition to several photogenic shrines. The temple is primarily dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the protector and preserver in Hindu tradition, and was constructed as a tribute to Bali’s water deities, symbolizing the island’s close ties with natural elements, especially water.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple Guide.

Pura Mengening

Often overlooked by tourists, Pura Mengening is one of Bali’s Bali‘s best-kept secrets and a true hidden gem. The temple is a beautiful oasis surrounded by lush vegetation on all sides. Also, much like in Tirta Empul, its popular neighbour temple from down the street, you can take part in a water purification ritual, albeit in a much more relaxed atmosphere with fewer other tourists. It’s a great place to enjoy several temple water features (ponds, fountains and bathing pools) in a relaxed atmosphere and relative solitude.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Pura Mengening Temple Guide.

Gunung Kawi Tampaksiring

Gunung Kawi Tampaksiring is easily one of our favorite temples in Bali, as its several attractions rolled into one: a beautiful temple complex, and huge archeological site that includes royal tombs, and a series of stunning rice terraces, all of which are surrounded by lush green vegetation and crisscrossed by the scenic Pakerisan River. Gunung Kawi Temple, also often referred to as the Valley of The Balinese Kings, was built in the 11th-century temple and served as a funerary complex. Some of its notable features are the 10 rock-cut shrines that are carved into some 7-metre-high (23 feet) sheltered niches into the cliff face.

Beyond the temple, there’s also a short but scenic walking trail that takes you through beautiful rice terraces.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Gunung Kawi Tampaksiring Temple Guide.

Pura Tirta Empul

Pura Tirta Empul is one of Bali‘s most popular temple complexes, a sanctuary revered for its sacred springs and spiritual significance. One of the main draws to this temple is the opportunity to take part in a water purification ritual (Melukat purification ceremony), where you will enter the bathing pools.

The temple is also quite large and has several courtyards, meaning there’s lots to explore here even if you are not interested in the purification ceremony. There are several impressive shrines, open squares, and koi ponds filled with unique water fountains.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Pura Tirta Empul Temple Guide.

Pura Kehen

Pura Kehen is one of the oldest and most beautiful in Bali. It sits atop a long, ornate staircase with intricate stone carvings and statues. Although not off the beaten path nor in a far remote location, the temple doesn’t seem to be part of the main tourist circuit yet, meaning that you might find yourself alone (or almost) when visiting. The temple’s outer courtyard is home to a huge banyan tree, which is believed to be over 400 years old, whereas the inner courtyard’s main attraction is an impressive 11-tiered Meru Tower, but you’ll also find several other smaller shrines in the main sanctum.

For more information on this temple and what to expect during your visit, check out our detailed Pura Kehen Temple Guide.

Goa Gajah

Located just outside Ubud, Goa Gajah is a popular destination due to its famous “Elephant Cave”, whose impressive and ornate doorway is a unique attraction in Bali. The exact origins of the cave are uncertain, but it is believed to have been built as a sanctuary for meditation and spiritual reflection. Archeological and historical experts believe Goa Gajah dates from the 11th-century Bali Kingdom.

Our favorite part of Goa Gajah wasn’t the elephant cave, but rather a lush jungle garden located next to the temple complex with a cascading river, beautiful stone bridges and a scenic waterfall.

Pura Dalem Ubud

Located near the western edge of Ubud, a few blocks west of the Ubud Water Palace (and in between the Subak Juwuk Manis and the Sari Organic rice field trails), Pura Dalem Ubud is a unique temple in Bali, which is dedicated to Rangda, the Demon Queen. She is the personification of evil, often depicted with fangs, bare breasts and unkempt hair. The Balinese believe that recognizing evil is essential to fully appreciating the benefits of all that is good. Pura Dalem Ubud is a very imposing temple from street level with a long stone staircase you need to climb to enter the temple. But once inside, it becomes a peaceful oasis that seems far removed from the hustle and bustle of Ubud’s busiest street.

This is the only temple in this specific Bali travel guide that is located within the Ubud town limits. For a more extensive list of temples that can be found in Ubud, check out our guide on the Best Temples in Ubud.

Map of the Temple And Palace Locations

You’ll notice that a few of the temples are clustered together north of Ubud. The three to the right are Pura Tirta Empul, Pura Mengening and Gunung Kawi Tampaksiring. Slightly northwest of these is Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu. These 4 can definitely be visited as a single day-trip from your home base. For more ideas on how to combine temples and other attractions (waterfalls and rice terrace trails) together within a single excursion, check out our guide on the Best Day Trips from Ubud.

Other Balinese Temples That Might Be Of Interest to You

The following are five fairly well-known and popular Balinese temples that we elected not to visit for various reasons, including their distant geographical locations and tourist trap reputations. We are not saying that these temples are not worth visiting, simply that they didn’t rank high enough on our must-see list given our priorities and where we were staying on the island (Ubud and Sidemen).

Lempuyang Temple (East Bali)

Although Pura Lempuyang is a historic and important Balinese temple on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang, the temple itself isn’t the main draw here (in fact visitors can not enter the main temple), but rather an iconic candi bentar (Balinese split gates often found at temple entrances). The gates at Pura Lempuyang are perfectly positioned to frame Mount Agung in between them, have turned into an Instagram sensation and have since received the “Gates of Heaven” nickname. The photo spot has become so busy, that lines up form quickly and people often wait for their turn upwards of two hours, regardless of what time you show up (the lineup starts forming hours before the temple even opens to visitors in the morning).

There are just so many beautiful temples across Bali that we didn’t think the trip to Lempuyang would be worth having to deal with such massive numbers of tourists looking for the perfect photo. Although there is much more to see at Lempuyang beyond the Gates of Heaven, we chose to prioritize other attractions in East Bali, such as Tirta Gangga, Taman Ujung and Penglipuran Village, as well as spending lots of time in beautiful rice terraces around the Sidemen area.

Besakih Great Temple (East Bali)

Perched on the slopes of Mount Agung, Besakih is the most important, largest, and holiest temple of Balinese Hinduism, and is often referred to as the “Mother Temple of Bali”. It is no doubt an impressive site, which encompasses 23 separate but related temples, with the largest and most important being Pura Penataran Agung, built on six levels terraced up the slope. We however opted to skip a visit for a few reasons, mostly because over the past few years, it has gained a growing reputation as a tourist trap, where aggressive touts, more so than anywhere else, try to extort money from you. Understandably the locals are just trying to earn a living and we respect that, but when it gets to the point of negatively impacting your experience it’s becomes rather regrettable. Maybe some of the reports we had read and the stories we heard were exaggerated, but we preferred to not risk it and to focus our time on visiting various hidden gems throughout the island, such as Pura Kehen, Pura Luhur Batukaru, and Pura Mengening.

Taman Ayun Temple (Central Bali)

Taman Ayun is the second-largest temple in Bali and is surrounded by a large body of water. Of the five temples on this additional list, Taman Ayun is the one we considered visiting the most. Of the five it is also the closest to Ubud, but its location southwest of Ubud made it difficult to combine with other temples and attractions we wanted to visit as part of a Day Trip From Ubud since it would have added a lot of extra driving time for just that one temple.

Pura Tanah Lot (South Bali)

Tanah Lot temple is a very people sunset viewing area on the west coast of south Bali (near Canggu). Don’t get us wrong, it’s an incredible photo spot of a temple that sits on a small island just off the coast, but it’s a rather small temple complex that is often crowded most of the day. And come sunset, hoards of people line up along the coast to enjoy the view. It’s easier to visit if you are staying in South Bali, but since we were always based in either central Bali (Ubud) or East Bali (Sidemen), we didn’t think the drive down to Tanah Lot was worth it.

Uluwatu Temple (South Bali)

Pura Uluwatu is a magnificent clifftop temple near Bali’s southernmost tip. It’s also a great sunset spot and can get excessively crowded with visitors. Also, the 2-hour+ drive from Ubud made it an easy temple to remove from our must-see list, especially since there are few other important attractions in the area. Although there are a lot of beautiful beaches in the area, we prefer to spend most of our time in Central and Eastern Bali where there are more important cultural and historical landmarks, in addition to beautiful mountain and rice field scenery. As for enjoying some time on the beach, we preferred doing so while visiting the nearby Nusa Islands and the Gili Islands.

Best Temples for Water Purification Rituals

If you are interested in taking part in a Balinese Water Purification Ritual (Melukat), these are the three best temples to do so. Tirta Empul has larger bathing pools but also gets a lot more visitors. The experience is likely to be much more intimate at the other two temples.

– Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu –

– Pura Mengening –

– Tirta Empul –

Temples With the Most Water Features

These temples are your best bet to see many pools, ponds and decorative fountains.

– Tirta Gangga –

– Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu –

– Pura Mengening –

– Tirta Empul –

Most Crowded Temples

We still enjoyed visiting these temples as we feel they are definitely worth seeing. But given how popular they are, we highly recommend trying to arrive early to beat the crowds and enjoy a better experience at these temples. Four of the five additional temples that we highlighted above (Uluwatu, Tanah Lot, Lempuyang and Besakih) would also all fall in the most crowded category.

– Tirta Gangga

– Tirta Empul

– Pura Ulun Danu Beratan

– Penglipuran Village

Off the Beaten Path Temples and Hidden Gems

– Pura Kehen – Seems to be lost in the shadows of its neighbour attractions, such as Penglipuran Village.

– Pura Mengening – Seems to be lost in the shadows of its neighbour temples, particularly Tirta Empul.

– Pura Luhur Batukaru – Probably the most remote temple on this list, but makes a great day trip destination when combined with Ulun Danu Beratan Temple and the nearby Jatiluwih Rice Terraces.

Honourable mentions: Although not one of our favorite temples, we learned a lot here and very few visitors come to explore the temple Kertha Gosa Park in East Bali.

Most Unique Temples

– Pura Ulun Danu Beratan – Its unique position next to Bali’s second largest lake makes it particularly photogenic, in large part due to its “floating” Meru Towers.

– Gunung Kawi Tampaksiring – More than just a temple, it’s also an important archeological site surrounded by stunning rice terraces.

– Taman Ujung – The largest temple or palace complex we visited in Bali, is visually impressive and is decorated with beautifully manicured gardens, which have a definite European feel to them.

– Pura Goa Lawah – Definitely unique due to its impressive bat cave.

Honourable mentions: Although neither a temple nor a palace, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Penglipuran Village, where you wander through various family compounds and can meet some of the locals who still live there today.

Our Personal Favorite Temples

This is the hardest list to put together, as so many temples are deserving of being mentioned here, but here are the ones that we enjoyed visiting the most.

– Gunung Kawi Tampaksiring – It has an incredibly rich history, is surrounded by beautiful scenery, has a short trail that crosses scenic rice terraces and, although not necessarily a hidden gem, it definitely doesn’t get the crowds that some of the more popular temples do.

– Pura Mengening – Our visit here was quite enchanting. There’s just so much greenery and so few other visitors around that we had quite a relaxing experience.

Pura Kehen – Although not a large temple, we found it to be incredibly scenic with beautiful stone carvings. Despite being the main temple for the Bangli kingdom, few visitors take the time to stop by.

– Taman Ujung – There’s just so much to see with lots of ground to cover through scenic and relaxing paths. There are also some partially hidden rice terraces that you can walk through to extend your time here.

Honourable mentions: Although the temple itself was a bit of a letdown, the gardens around Pura Goa Gajah (The Elephant Cave) were extremely beautiful and quite a surprise.

How to get to the Temples from Around Bali

In our opinion, the three best transport options to reach the majority of these temples are: renting a scooter (moped), joining a group tour that hits several nearby attractions within a day or a half-day, or hiring a car and driver (which really isn’t as expensive as it sounds).

You can also use Bali ride-hailing apps such as Gojek or Grab, and make use of local taxis, but these options will typically cost more, especially if you plan on visiting several sites and attractions on the same day. Also, Gojek or Grab are not authorized to pick up people in certain locations where local taxi unions limit their services, including Canggu, Sanur, and Ubud. For more information on getting around the island and the different available options, check out our How to Best Get Around Bali guide.

Regardless of your chosen transportation method, you are likely to enjoy the ride there. The road leading to the waterfall is very scenic. You will pass small villages and beautiful rice fields.

We highly recommend Airalo (eSIM card) for your connectivity needs when travelling abroad. Airalo is the world’s first and largest eSIM store with eSIM plans for 200+ countries and regions worldwide.

Getting to the Temples by Scooter: Once you get to Bali, you’ll quickly realize that scooter rental operators are everywhere. Although most street-side vendors will regularly be the cheapest option, they come short in several other aspects compared with more reliable and established vendors. For instance, most won’t offer roadside assistance or insurance that covers theft, nor do they regularly sanitize the helmets or have their scooters undergo regular maintenance. For this reason, we highly recommend using Bikago for your scooter rentals. Renting from them might be slightly more expensive (but still can be rented for as low as 12-15 US$/€ per day) but you get great peace of mind as among many other perks, all scooters undergo extensive quality checks.

What you get with your Bikago rental:
-Helmets
-Full tank of petrol and unlimited mileage
-Free Delivery and Collection at your Hotel
-24/7 Roadside Assistance and First Aid Medical Kit
-Charging Mobile Phone Holder

By Car and Driver hire: Hiring a car and driver to explore Bali can be a practical and cost-efficient way to experience a full day of sightseeing. Although this option is more expensive than renting a scooter (typically 40-60 US$/€ per day), you don’t have to worry about navigating the Bali roads and traffic, Also, most cars are modern and air-conditioned, which is welcome in Bali’s humid heat, and the local drivers always know the best routes to take and can optimize your ideal itinerary. Here are some of the best options to choose from:

By Group Tour: Group tours can be a great option to lower costs and reduce the hassle of having to plan an efficient itinerary. Their main downside is they might not exactly be tailored to your specific interests and preferences. But if you are mostly interested in hitting the main sights and attractions, there are these great tour options departing from nearby Ubud that visit several temples:
