Bali Honeymoon Guide: Where to Stay, What to See & My Expert Tips.

The Type of Couple Bali Suits
I think Bali is perfect for honeymoon couples who want a little bit of everything. If you love exploring temples, waterfalls and beautiful rice terraces, but also want time to relax in your own private pool, enjoy a massage and sip cocktails on the beach, Bali offers a lovely mix of adventure, romance and luxury.

My Favourite Bali Honeymoon Experiences:

Treat Yourselves to a Floating Breakfast

A floating breakfast is one of those little honeymoon treats I would definitely recommend! We paid an additional €6 per person to have our breakfast served floating in our private pool, as breakfast was already included in our room rate. Such a lovely experience and a great way to start the day together.

Book a Spa Day

A Balinese massage should be experienced by everyone! It's the perfect excuse to slow down, relax and treat yourselves.
We paid €33 for a one-hour Balinese massage and €33 for a one-hour facial. For a honeymoon, I think a spa day is a must, especially after a busy few days exploring.

Go on a Double Swing Over the Rice Fields

This was such a memorable experience! Not only is it great for photos and videos, but the setting is absolutely beautiful.

We visited Tegallalang Rice Terrace, near Ubud, where you can enjoy the famous swings overlooking the lush green rice fields.
At the time of our visit, the prices worked out at approximately €1.50 per person for entrance, €12 for a single swing and €24 for a couple's double swing.
I would definitely recommend the double swing for honeymoon couples. It's a lovely memory.

Hire a Private Driver to Explore Ubud

One of my biggest tips is to book a private car and driver to explore the temples, waterfalls and Monkey Forest around Ubud. It gives you so much freedom because you can choose which temples you want to visit and even book a nice restaurant for lunch along the way.

We found this fantastic value at approximately €60 for eight hours. You simply pay your entrance fees separately as you go.
For me, having that flexibility is so much nicer than rushing around on a fixed group tour, particularly on your honeymoon.

Splash Out on a Private Pool Villa

This is one luxury I really encourage couples to consider!
Spend a little more to stay in your own private pool villa, even if it means shortening your honeymoon by a day or two. I promise, it's so worth it!
Some private pool villas can be found for around €150 per night, depending on the location, season and standard of accommodation.
Having your own pool and that extra privacy makes the honeymoon feel even more special. It's the perfect place to enjoy a lazy morning together before heading out to explore.

Watch the Sunset on Seminyak Beach

Make time to take in the sunset on Seminyak Beach under the iconic colourful Balinese parasols. Cocktails and food are served right on the beach, and it's such a lovely atmosphere as the sun goes down. We found cocktails starting from around €5 during our visit. It's a gorgeous way to spend an evening together, and one of those simple honeymoon experiences that doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Add a Little More Adventure or Romance

There are so many other experiences you can add to your Bali honeymoon itinerary.
Take a day trip by boat to Nusa Lembongan, or arrange a romantic private dinner overlooking the rice paddies, or enjoy a guided sunset hike.
The list goes on and on, and that's what makes Bali such a wonderful honeymoon destination. You can make every day different!

When to Go to Bali

Bali's dry season generally runs from April to October, making these months particularly good for exploring, beach days and outdoor activities.
I especially like May, June and September as honeymoon months, as they generally offer a lovely balance of sunshine and fewer crowds than the busiest months of July and August.

November to March is the wetter season, but Bali is still warm, and you can enjoy beautiful green scenery, relaxing spa days and time in your private villa. Just allow more flexibility for outdoor activities and boat trips.
