Tanah Lot Temple

Today from the luxury hotel in Alicante Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa we are taking you to Indonesia, specifically to Bali, to visit the famous Tanah Lot Temple.

Tanah Lot Temple is one of the most beautiful examples of Bali´s Hindu religious architecture. It is famed due to its spectacular location; it is situated on a large offshore rock.

It was built in the 16th century by a priest in honour of Varuna, the Hindu god of water. There are many legends about the temple; according to the popular belief thousands of sea snakes guard the temple from evil spirits.

Tourists can’t access to the inside of the temple, but during the evening it is possible to visit the shrine to receive a blessing from the priests.

Precisely the best time of the day to visit Tanah Lot Temple is when it gets dark. The sunset makes the temple become a unique spot.

If you are planning an autumn getaway, we can´t imagine a better destination than the luxury resort in Alicante Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa. Mild temperatures and 4 swimming pools heated to 30 degrees all year round. Are you coming?
