This small village is home to the Taman Ayun Temple, one of the most beautiful temples on the island. Large, multi-story structures are an example of stunning Balinese architecture. The temple grounds have several ponds surrounded by large, shady trees. Small, winding footpaths lead visitors around the grounds which were built in 1634. Take a walk around the gardens and perhaps observe a religious ceremony during your visit.

There are beaches along the coast, and it’s also not far up to coast from here to other important attractions like Tanah Lot. Pererenan Beach has beautiful black sand and is typically pretty quiet, offering visitors a glimpse of what much of Bali was like before it became a popular destination. Come here to watch the sunset, not far from seaside restaurants and other visitor services.
