2. A cruise under the stars

Bali has many glorious waterways that come alive as the night descends. You can pick any of these and opt for a Cruise Dinner Date in Bali. The cruise will add a hint of the Titanic romance to your honeymoon trip to Bali. Onboard the cruise, you are presented with a 5-course meal that combines traditional flavours of Bali with global cuisines. All this as you look upon the shimmering waters of the sea and the alluring lights of the city at a distance. While most of these cruises invite 5-7 couples, you will be given enough private space to enjoy your couple time. Live music, chic cocktails, and delicious food all enjoyed under the stars will blend together to make you fall in love all over again.

3. Spa and massages

All that travel and jet lag is going to make your muscles go sore. In Bali, you get a sublime cure in the form of couple spas and massages. You can choose from a range of spas that offer therapeutic massages to tend to your sore muscles. Both of you can take in the fragrance of aromatic oils and scented candles as you relax. Couple spas are a must during Bali trips for couples and should be experienced at least once during the entire trip.

5. Ubud tour

Ubud was once seen as a destination for travellers who were interested in the fresh air, healthy food and yoga. Of late, it’s grown into one of the most popular destinations in Bali. You will find endless stretches of lush paddy fields, countless waterfalls, several yoga retreats, and the famous Mount Batur.

A well-admired attraction for tourists is to go on a day trip to the rice terraces. During your visit, you will be surrounded by clear blue skies, swaying palm trees and verdant greenery - it’s absolutely breathtaking and more than postcard-worthy! If you want to explore further, you can drop by the nearby villages and meet the people who built and maintain the magnificent rice terraces.

Trekking up will give you a chance to see a 360-degree picturesque view of the neighbouring areas. It’s worth going on the Mount Batur sunrise trek, a two-hour trek to catch the sunrise.

6. Seek blessings from the Gods of Bali

Batuan is a quaint, mysterious and in vogue village near Ubud. You can book a private tour of the village and enjoy the many Bali attractions that can be found there. The foremost being a visit to the Batuan temple where a private blessing ceremony is conducted by the local Hindu priest. You and your beloved can experience cleansing and take back positivity through these blessings. And there really is no better way to conclude a beautiful trip then by seeking the blessings of the gods for a happy married life.

7. Private photography tour

Bali is an impeccable backdrop to enhance your tender romantic moments of togetherness. But with just the two of you who is going to capture these moments?

So, if you want to capture a silhouette of your walk on the beach or a romantic dinner, you can achieve it all in style. And the best part? These pictures make for some enviable Instagram moments for the world to see.

With so much to do during your Bali Indonesia Honeymoon, you will be left with no time to experience the many sights and sounds of the island. But if you do have leisure time you can also visit Uluwatu to try your hand at surfing, lounge at the shacks on the many beach resorts that line the island, explore your spiritual side by visiting places like the Sacred Monkey Forest, dine at the many wooden cruises or just unwind at a resort in Nusa Dua, where you can find one of the best Bali resorts for couples. You can also head to Jimbaran Bay, a beach town with swanky restaurants and views that will leave you spellbound. If you like to party, Seminyak is the place to be. The most popular beach town in Bali is filled with party-goers letting their hair down at many places, the most popular being Legian.
