The temple isn’t really hidden it’s just that most people (tourist that is) don’t take any notice. This temple is not on the tourist radar and is not promoted to them.
The temple ‘Pura Patal” is right on the beach and many people walk past oblivious to what is inside of what appears to be a small semi- vacant plot of ground except for a shrine where locals place offerings daily.
The main structure of the temple is behind a wall, most of the walls, temple buildings and some statues are made from coral.
The temple is located just of the boardwalk, (Jl Segara Ayu) north end of Sanur; it’s next to Benos restaurant.
I couldn’t find out how old the original parts of the temple were, but one local said he knew it been there longer than he was aware. He said it was before the 18th century. I’m sure it’s older!
If you are interested in culture, then it is worth stoping at this old small temple.
Please if you are going to look and or take photos be respectful, make sure you wear a sarong and that your shoulders are covered. Remember this is not a tourist destination.

Definitell wort to visit this small traditional Balinese temple, when your stay in Sanur. Its just near the beach, so you can make a small break between swimming and sunbathing. 😊
Make sure to dont enter only in a swimsuit! 👙
And of course, its for free.

I greatly enjoyed this visit. Having our Balinese driver explain to us the history and religious story behind it was really interesting. I would have liked to have a dip in the holy water but didn't know that tourists could so I wasn't prepared but I defiantly will next time.

If I could possibly write well enough to capture the atmosphere, I would..... Time stood still, and we walked through it.
Quite an amazing place, and a privilege to visit.
Thoroughly recommend a visit, but be respectful and enjoy the peace.

quietly posed at the side of the street, we would have missed it had we not seen some beautifully dressed ladies carrying offerings on their heads, sway their way into the temple. We followed them in and walked around this lovely warm a peaceful temple. A must "feel" place

Patal Temple is situated on the coast in North Sanur. It is part of the protective spiritual ring which surrounds the island where each temple in the chain is situated within site of its neighbour.
It has wonderfully carved doorways and the courtyards contain richly decorated shrines and small pavilions for chanting and keeping the relics. There are several courtyards and as usual with Balinese temples no large enclosed structures due to the ever present danger of earthquakes.

This is a great place for quiet contemplation and a little 'you' time in the midst of all the hotels, restaurants and bars.
It's not spectacular or outstanding but it's special in allowing anyone to get away from all the glitz on the beach strip.

We stumbled upon this temple as we were walking along the beach walk, its fairly hidden so can easily be bypassed especially if you don't know what your looking for, like other temples in Bali the structure and statues are basically the same, very captivating, i do not know the exact date of this temple but was told it dates from 17th century . worth a look if you're interested in temples, albeit small.

Beautiful temple keeping up to the rich tradition of the Island. Well kept and not so crowded. Close to the sea and good for photography.
