Experts' Choice Award Ulun Danu Bratan
What the experts agree on
This iconic 17th-century temple floats on a crater lake's islets, its tiered pagodas reflected in calm waters. Set amid 160 hectares of manicured gardens, it's Bali's most photographed spiritual site, dedicated to the water goddess Dewi Danu.
“This wonderland is set in 160 hectares (395 acres) of landscaped and beautifully tended gardens.”
– Frommer's
