You step out of the air‑conditioned car and the ocean breathes across the basalt rocks—Tanah Lot’s waves work like clockwork, sending spray against the temple’s foot as the sun lowers. Earlier the day smells of frangipani and steam from a private Balinese massage room, where a two‑hour treatment loosens travel tension and sets a slower cadence for the afternoon.
