The day begins with heat rising off the asphalt as your private driver threads the cliff road south of Denpasar. White sand spreads beneath steep limestone faces; surf hisses at the shore and, by late afternoon, the ocean will paint the sky beyond Uluwatu in hard gold. You move from sheltered coves where snorkelers drift over coral gardens to a temple clinging to a bluff 80–100 metres above the Indian Ocean.
