Romance is the trademark of Bali. As the first vacation of your married life, Bali can offer you a dream-like trip that is more than a beach vacation.
Special Bali experiences can make your honeymoon sweeter: watch pink sunsets at Jimbaran Beach, trek up the active volcanic Mt. Batur for sunrise, touch the exotic culture in Ubud, relax at a romantic hotel with an infinity pool, and taste fancy island cuisines.
Due to its different travel attractions, Bali is usually divided into three areas: the south and nearby islands for beach vacations; the center for jungles, rice terraces, and art galleries; and the north for volcanic hiking and diving.
For a honeymoon, central Bali (mainly Ubud) and the southern beaches are musts for romantic experiences.
How Many Days to Stay for a Romantic Honeymoon in Bali?
Generally speaking, most people visit Bali for 5 to 10 days. They usually focus on the southern beaches and the center (Ubud). To finish your romantic trip on the southern beaches would be the ideal consummation!

Excellent guide in Siem Reap
Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap! More

Asia Highlights trip to Thailand
Our first tour guide in Bangkok, Marie, was great to tour around with. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and spoke wonderful English. Our next stop in Chang Mai we were greeted by our new tour guide, Rafael. He too was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and spoke wonderful English. He made it feel as if we were traveling around with a long time friend. Every time we arrived at a new destination, we were greeted at the airport by someone with a sign with our name making our travels easy. I would definitely recommend Asia Highlights to anyone looking for a well planned trip of a lifetime! More

Private tour perfect for our times
Asia highlights organized a private tour with our requests. Everything was perfect ?? the driver Tom and the guide Ying were always on time with a smile in their face. Always willing to help and make our trip perfect. Bangkok is a very hot city so we minimized the time outside. The driver always had cold towels for us in the van and cold beverages. More

Thailand
We loved Chiang Mai and Susie did a great job showing us several temples, taking many pictures of us with the elephants at the sanctuary (a definite highlight of the entire trip!), and making sure we were well fed, which became a running joke between us.We had a very relaxing few days in Phuket enjoying the beautiful beaches. Kai was great, answering all of our questions and giving us a nice tour of the old town. The all-day speedboat tour of the Phi Phi islands started off a little shaky as the sea was quite rough so if you’re at all uncomfortable bouncing around in a speedboat, you might want to skip that tour. Things did calm down as the day went on and some of the areas they took us to for swimming, snorkeling, etc were really beautiful. A couple of the islands were too crowded with people. More

Ask for Victor!
If you are traveling to Bangkhok you need to request Victor. He made our trip amazing! My family completed bucket list items with his guidance. He knew exactly how to get us places, kept us on time, made us feel safe, educated us on history, spoke excellent English and was genuinely a nice man! Everyone we encountered was awesome- but Victor is the reason for my 5 star review! More

Perfect 2 WK Thailand Trip for a Solo Female Traveler
Bank was our guide in Bangkok and he showed us around the city with ease and we were able to see and try things I never would have planned on my own.

10 Romantic Things to Do in Bali on a Honeymoon
1. Create Your Own Handmade Souvenirs Together (Ubud)
What could be more memorable than making a bespoke gift for your loved one? Making something together will bring you closer. The souvenirs will forever recall to you the happy hour spent in Bali.
You could make a silver ring in a silver jewelry workshop, create a batik painting in a mellow studio, or carve your own personalized masks at a wood-carving workshop...
2. Walk Hand-in-Hand Amidst the Emerald Rice Terraces
In Ubud, Tegallalang Rice Terrace (the largest) or Jatiluwih Rice Terraces (less crowded) should not be missed. Lush green rice paddies, towering-tall palm trees and fresh air are the perfect setting for a romantic trip.
You'll have chances to experience the couples swing with around 30 meters of rope above the valley or jungle. It will make your honeymoon a little more exciting and bring you closer together with a shared thrilling experience.
3. Watch a Sunrise at an Active Volcano's Summit
Departing around 2 a.m., you will trek along the volcano's jungle path for 2 hours. The breathtaking views won't disappoint you when the first ray of sunshine pierces through the sky. Why not sit together and have a picnic breakfast at sunrise? It will surely be a once in a lifetime experience.
4. Get Blessings at a Millennium-Old Temple
You can see the Balinese religious culture from their abundant temples. Head to Tirta Empul (one of the holiest temples), experience the local ritual purification at its bathing pool, and pray for goodness and happiness as the locals do.
5. Do Yoga Together in a Lush-Green Jungle
Have you ever done yoga inside a jungles or by terraced rice paddies? If not, try it in Ubud. Escape from the chaos and hassles of the world, stretch your body slowly, relieve your stress, and find your inner peace... Relax with the fresh air, cool breeze, and pleasant sounds of nature.
Most luxurious hotels (like Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan) or yoga chains (like The Yoga Barn) offer a great yoga experience.
6. Immerse Yourself in the Beautiful Sunset in Jimbaran
Jimbaran offers the best sunset views in Bali. Like in the movies, embracing your love and watching the sunset is always a most romantic moment. Have an oceanside stroll hand-in-hand, share your love with each other, and take some stunning photos for memories...
When the night falls, have a date night or enjoy a candle-lit seafood feast served at a beachfront restaurant.
7. Make Your Own Love Story at Uluwatu
Known for its love story, Uluwatu's air is full of romance. Dramatically rugged coastline, hidden beaches, and breathtaking clifftop sunsets create a romantic atmosphere.
Visit Uluwatu Temple, see the incredible Kecak dance, or seek an untouched beach for a lovely sunset.
8. Have Fun with Water Activities
Bali, a world of a thousand islands, is rich in water activities. The exciting water activities can add some sparks to your sweet honeymoon. Jet-skiing, parasailing, and surfing are good choices.
If you're not keen on high-adrenaline water adventure, sea walking or snorkeling may be more suitable for you.
9. Enjoy Private Couple Massages or a Spa with an Ocean View
After a big wedding, a massage or spa is a perfect way to recover from the stress and excitement.
On this exotic spa island, reserve a private session at a beachfront resort, indulge yourself in a physical and spiritual healing activity, and relax and admire the stunning ocean views.
10. Seek More Holiday Magic by Island Hopping
For a honeymoon in Bali, you wouldn't want to miss out on island hopping.
Nusa Lembongan is a perfect getaway for a day trip. Just 30 minutes' ferry ride from Bali, you could see the magical Devils Tear, snorkel with giant Manta Rays (a unique specie to Indonesia), and try awesome cliff jumping, if you like.
Romantic Hotels for Your Honeymoon
Bali always stays ahead of hotel fashions. You can experience today's best quality from top-end luxury hotels to stylish boutique hotels. Private pools and spacious rooms are normal to expect in Bali.

Costs for a Sweet Bali Honeymoon
Like all distant travels abroad, international flights are the main portion of your costs. In Asia, most of the popular air hubs (Bangkok, Singapore, and Hong Kong) have direct flights to Bali. For people from Europe and America, airfares are lower when making stopovers in SE Asian hubs than more distant hubs like Sydney or Doha.
Hotels form the majority of your tour costs after arrival. As Bali is a world of stylish hotels, you could choose a mid-range boutique (around US$80–100 per night) or relax at an all-inclusive luxury hotel (from US$199 to US$995 per night).
Tour costs vary according to what you prefer. You can lie idly on the beach, join in the water activities (from US$50 to US$100 per day) or take a hassle-free private tour (US$150 to US$300 per day).
The Best Times to Go
Bali has two seasons: the rainy season (November–March) and the dry season (April–October).
The dry season is best for sun, sand, and sea enjoyment. You can fully immerse yourself in the outdoor activities with virtually continuous pleasant weather. Considering the high demand in the dry season, you'd better make your reservations at least 2 months ahead, especially for July and August (the peak time).
You might only be influenced by short afternoon downpours (1–2 hours) during the rainy season. Indoor activities are suggested when it's raining, like a local cooking class, a Balinese massage, or a yoga class. Or you could visit the drier islands of northern SE Asia from November to March for much better weather, like Phuket in Thailand.
