Bali's manageable size means you can opt to spend your honeymoon in one or several of the island's hotspots. The beaches of Seminyak offer an unparalleled feeling of exclusivity while the ever-charming Ubud is the perfect spot for some peaceful rehabilitation. Here is a selection of just of a few of the island's best honeymoon destinations:
For couples looking for an idyllic place to celebrate their honeymoon, Ubud's natural beauty and serene atmosphere is a triumphant choice. Nestled in the rice fields of central Bali, Ubud is the island's spiritual and cultural hub. The quaint streets, lined with verdant trees and plants, are dilled with excellent local restaurants, craft stores and hidden temples around every corner. A short drive or cycle from the centre of town and you'll find yourself among the breathtaking island landscapes made famous in the Julia Roberts film, 'Eat, Pray, Love'. Don't miss the Puri Saren Royal Palace with its stunning Balinese architecture and in the evening, catch a performance of a traditional dance ceremony.
To the east, away from the bustle of the ever-popular resort of Kuta, Seminyak boasts boutique shopping, luxury hotels, and fine-dining restaurants to rival the world's biggest cities. Naturally, the beach is the main draw for couples on honeymoon in Bali, and Seminyak's Petitenget Beach has several kilometres of pristine sands to lap up the Asian sunshine. So-called 'Eat Street' offers a range of high-quality local and international cuisine. If you want to enjoy dinner with a spectacular sunset view then you won't be disappointed. Many beachside hotels and eateries offer al fresco dining options - gorgeous vistas free of charge!
For those who want a honeymoon with a little more exclusivity, Lembongan Island just off the coast of Bali is the perfect hidden paradise. Just a short boat ride from the mainland, Lembongan is largely undeveloped and puts an emphasis on its stunning natural landscapes. As well as utilising the golden beaches, snorkelling and diving are popular activities. Or you could rent a boat and spend the day discovering the countless hidden coves for an amorous afternoon with your newly betrothed.
Whether it's halcyon days on the beach or afternoons spent treating yourselves to a massage, Bali is the ultimate honeymoon destination.
There are numerable places where you can catch a romantic sunset in Bali, but there are few more idyllic locations than one of the imposing Balinese temples perched on the coast. The most popular temple to enjoy at twilight is Tanah Lot, but, for a more intimate experience head to the lesser-known Uluwatu Temple. You can either rent a car or take a taxi and be sure to bring a cold drink or a bottle of something special to sip as you gaze out over the sea at the magnificent sunset. On a clear day, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple in the highlands of central Bali also offers a stunning sunset location. While it doesn't enjoy a coastal location, the backdrop of the mountains and the dusk light catching the waters of Beratan Lake create an enchanting ethereal atmosphere.
The island is home to Balinese massage - a therapeutic practice which has its roots in the holistic medical traditions of Southeast Asia. Many hotels in Bali offer spa and massage services and there are plenty of parlours all over the island. While it's possible to enjoy a massage for very little money in Bali, if you opt to spend a little more, you'll be privy to a much more indulgent experience. It is your honeymoon after all.
Take to the water to catch the sunset from the sea - the perfect end to a honeymoon in Bali. You can either choose from commercial excursions where you will be with other guests or hire a private vessel and have the boat to yourself. Many operators also offer extras ranging from a glass of champagne to a full three-course dinner. It's even possible to sail to a private beach where you can dine in ultimate serenity.
