GOA GONG 9 th Century Cave Temple
Not all places worth visiting have already been 'discovered'...Bali is the land of 1,000 temples for good reason – yet most visitors see only the most famous, missing out on hidden gems like Goa Gong, a natural archaelogical site and 9th century temple just 20 minutes drive from Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay. Open by appointment only, this historic temple is of great importance to the Balinese; it is believed to have supernatural powers. Some locals visit Goa Gong to seek the gods' blessings for young children who are yet to find their voice or have a speech impediment; others seek energy cleansing with a melukat ritual by the temple's priest, using water collected directly from the cave's dripping stalactites. Our resort priest Ajik Ngurah will be your guide to explore the cave’s shrines and stalactites, and can also arrange a melukat water purification ritual with Goa Gong's supervisor-priest.
By appointment only at least one day in advance; contact us via FS Chat, or dial #2 for Concierge 2 hours, available 11am daily except Wednesdays.
