Besides Lovina Beach, the supporting tourism destination of Kalibukbuk Village is the Kalibukbuk Buddhist Stupa Temple. The discovery of this site began with the activities of a resident named I Nengah Mawa in 1994. When he was about to drain the old well that he made thirty years ago, there was an avalanche on the wall of the simur. As a result of the landslide, strange objects were found sticking around the well wall.  At the bottom of the well, there was also a brick structure that was suspected to be a former building. The objects were buried about one and a half meters below ground level. After being reported to the Department of Culture by the owner of the moor A. A Ngurah Sentanu, as a follow-up to this report the Denpasar Archaeology Center immediately conducted a survey and excavation in stages. The site was surveyed and excavated in 6 stages from November 1994 to 2000 (Astawa, 1994, 2006) and continued with conservation efforts by BPCB Bali.

Currently, the Kalibukbuk stupa is functioned by the community as a medium of worship for both Hindus and Buddhists. On certain days, especially on Saraswati day, many local people come to pray at this site. This site has been researched by the Denpasar Archaeology Center, then inventoried and restored by the Bali Cultural Heritage Preservation Center.
