Best Time to Visit Bali
Jet off on your Bali honeymoon or Bali wedding between the months of May and October if you want to avoid the wet season and the Hindu festival of Nyepi when much of Bali closes down.
Best Beaches in Bali
Bali can offer honeymoon couples some wonderful beaches from which to choose. Some of the most popular beaches are to be found on the South of the island in the towns of Sanur, Nusa Dua and Kuta.
For Activity Lovers
Mountain biking along the Batur Trail is popular as is tennis and golf. For those honeymooners looking for sport down on the beach, windsurfing and scuba diving are widely available. If you fancy a little more action, then head to the Ayung River and partake in white water rafting.
Local Flavours of Bali
The food in Bali is typically Indonesian so expect exotic tastes and textures mixed with local fresh seafood and meat. Chicken Satay, fried noodles, and roast suckling pig are local delicacies and for snacks, forget crisps and chocolate, fresh tropical fruit is the order of the day.
On a Night in Bali
Lively Kuta with it’s waterfront bars and discos is a mecca for honeymooning night owls, whilst Jimbaran is more low key but still has the buzz. Seminyak and Legian plays host to a number of ex-pat haunts whilst if it is more traditional nightlife you’re after, head to Ubud with it’s live music and shows.
Shopping in Bali
Bali can offer honeymoon couples of all ages a variety of ways to part with their cash – from the designer outlets in the capital Denpasar, through to market shopping in Sanur and Kuta. Local favourites include leather goods, carved wooden artefacts and hand crafted jewellery.
Top Resorts in Bali
Sanur, Kuta, Ubud and Nusa Dua are particularly popular and it is easy to see why – beautiful beaches and a friendly welcome make them the ideal place to base yourself for your Bali honeymoon or Bali wedding.
