Pristine beaches. Graceful waterfalls. Dense forests. Impressive volcanoes. Exotic cuisine. Welcoming people. Transformational experiences.
There’s a reason Bali is a popular honeymoon destination.
With its slow inviting pace, luxury accommodations, stunning landscape, and culture abound, Bali offers something for every couple.
Food
Food enthusiasts love Bali for its traditional cuisine using a variety of spices blended with fresh vegetables, meat, and fish and influenced by Chinese and Indian cuisine. Take a cooking class so you can relive your honeymoon anytime over dinner. Enjoy fresh-picked fruits (like rambutan and mangosteen) and local delicacies at food stands (like satay and Nasi Jinggo). Experience a first-hand view of Bali culture through dance and other cultural performances out on the street while trying eclectic flavors of the local cuisine, tapas, and Balinese desserts and shopping for handicrafts, stone carvings, paintings, and woven and dyed fabrics at night markets. Nusa Dua Night Market and Kereneng Night Market are two of our favorites.
Arts & History
History buffs will love all Bali has to offer. Tour sacred ancient temples scattered throughout the country. Must-see temples include the picturesque Ulun Danu Beratan Temple (in Bedugul, Tabanan), the 17th-century Taman Ayun Temple (in Mengwi, Badung), cultural heritage site Tirta Empul Temple (in Gianyar, Central Bali), and the complex Besakih Temple (in Karangasem, East Bali).
Art lovers have plenty to choose from in Ubud, the artistic capital of the island with numerous museums, a variety of hands-on workshops, and shopping galore.
Adventure
Adventure seekers will find plenty to keep the adrenaline going. Go hot air ballooning in Ubud, snorkel in Blue Lagoon (perfect for beginners), hike an active volcano Mt. Batur, jet ski at Nusa Dua, surf at Balangan Beach, and bike through rural villages and rice fields. Soar above the jungle at one of the country’s 12 giant swings.
Nature & Animal Lovers
Bali is known for its stunning beauty: magnificent waterfalls, lush forests, and immaculate beaches. There are also ample opportunities to get up close and personal with the animals that call these places home. Visit the Ubud Monkey Forest to chill with 900 Balinese long-tailed macaques. Watch the sunrise with dolphins at Lovina Beach. Eat breakfast with playful orangutans or roll in the mud with friendly Sumatran elephants at Bali Zoo. Be awed (and maybe creeped out) by the insects at the Bali Butterfly Park. Catch a glimpse of a real-life dragon at Komodo National Park.
