Bali honeymoon destination for your romantic escapes and adventures sensation.
Bali stands out as one of the most enchanting travel destinations globally.
Current travel data indicates that, even in 2024, the Island of the Gods continues to captivate honeymoon couples as consistently as ever. One specific area, the Gianyar Regency, renowned as the arts and culture hub of Ubud, emerges as Bali’s premier honeymoon spot.
In 2024, TripAdvisor crowned Bali as the world’s number one honeymoon destination, surpassing iconic choices such as the Maldives, Mauritius, and Zanzibar. The TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Awards showcased Bali prominently, including Nusa Penida’s Kelingking Beach in the top 25 beaches globally, along with Padma Resort Ubud and Adiwana Suweta Hotel in the top 25 hotels.
Tjok Bagus Pemayun, Head of the Bali Provincial Tourism Office, revealed that the majority of international honeymoon couples prefer staying in Ubud and its surrounding retreats.
He observed, “The majority are in Ubud, apart from some in Candidasa, including Tulamben, and some in West Bali.” Clearly, honeymooners seek destinations that offer breathtaking views, tranquility, and exclusivity, all of which are abundantly provided by the resorts around Ubud, the far west, and the far east of the island.
Pemayun emphasized a particular cultural phenomenon that continues to attract romantically inclined tourists to the island, especially inspired by Julia Roberts’ film, “Eat Pray Love.” He advised couples, “If you are a couple and want to strengthen your partner’s love, come to Bali.”
Despite much of Julia Roberts’ film “Ticket to Paradise” being shot in Australia during the pandemic, even though it was set in Nusa Penida, Pemayun expressed confidence that Bali will remain a trusted destination for weddings and honeymoons. He commended the hospitality industry’s commitment to providing world-class service to tourists.
For honeymooners planning their escape to Bali, a plethora of incredible resorts and destinations awaits.
Bali’s beauty lies in its extensive exploration opportunities. Over a two-week Bali honeymoon, couples can easily visit all three of the island’s top honeymoon destinations: Ubud, West Bali, and Candidasa. This three-part adventure promises a deep connection with Bali, allowing couples to discover parts of the island that might be overlooked by the average holidaymaker, creating a truly unique and memorable post-nuptial retreat.
In Ubud, honeymooners are encouraged to include TripAdvisor’s award-winning Padma Resort Ubud and Adiwana Suweta Hotel in their bucket list.
Padma Resort’s expansive infinity pool, overlooking the lush tropical jungle, consistently leaves couples in awe. Meanwhile, Adiwana Suweta provides a VIP experience, complete with a private butler service accessible at the click of a button. Don’t miss the breakfast-in-bed experience. On the east side of Bali, in Karangasem Regency, Candidasa offers unmatched views of the island’s sacred mountains and secret beaches for couples to wake up to.
Candidasa Beach, one of Bali’s best-kept secrets, serves as the ideal choice for honeymooners seeking a serene coastal escape. Top Bali honeymoon resorts include Sagara Candidasa and Nirwana Beach & Resort. To conclude a honeymoon off the beaten path, heading west to well-known resorts like Sumberkima Hill Retreat and the 2024 addition of Mimpi Resort Menjangan, with its thatched roofs and scenic views, or Menjangan Dynasty Resort Beach Glamping and Dive Center, caters to nature lovers and adventure seekers.
