7 places to go on your honeymoon in bali in 2025

Fun & Relaxing Things to Do on Your Bali Honeymoon

ideas for a romantic honeymoon in bali

Your honeymoon trip only happens once, and it's meant to be a celebration of love and the beginning of a lifelong journey with your partner. While there are multiple different types of honeymoon trips a couple could choose from, I believe your honeymoon should be full of sun, relaxing, quality time, and creating memories with your significant other. If you've chosen Bali as your honeymoon destination, (great choice by the way), then you can rest easy knowing that there are PLENTY of exceptional options when it comes to finding a blend of serene activities and bucket-list items you'll never forget. After visiting Bali myself and spending over two weeks exploring multiple different regions, these are my recommendations for must-visit spots in Bali during your honeymoon in 2025:

1. stop at The Atlas Beach Club in canggu for a relaxing spa & beach experience

Canggu is known as Bali's "southern gem", offering comfort and luxury but also acting as the perfect backdrop for love to blossom. This area has exceptional beaches, trendy cafes, and a vibrant nightlife, serving as the ideal base to kickstart your honeymoon. One of my favorite spots to visit in Canggu is the Atlas Beach Club. Close to luxury hotels like Citadines and LV8, the Atlas Beach Club is a great spot because of its versatility. Couples can start with an intimate couple's massage that promises to help relax and erases any remnants of travel fatigue, ensuring you're both rejuvenated for the rest of your trip. Following your massages, you can enjoy the luxury of private daybeds, sample a unique menu designed to cater to your tastes, and swim in private pools and/or in the ocean only a couple hundred feet away. The Atlas Beach Club also has a number of exclusive experiences – from engaging tarot readings to authentic Balinese art performances, you never know what to expect! And once you're done having some fun in the sun, you can come back for the Atlas Super Club's nightlife, where we have a number of popular DJ's come and play. Overall, I would personally say that this beach club is not just a place; it's a necessary stop for an elevated honeymoon experience and the makings of a great spot to spend both the daytime and nighttime.

2. Take a day trip to Uluwatu's cliff-top temples & garuda wisnu kencana cultural park

So you know how Bali is famous for having beautiful temples? Well, Uluwatu is a region located in the southwestern tip of Bali and it's home to one of the most breathingtaking ones: the Pura Luhur Uluwatu Temple. While all temples in Bali can be quite exquisite, this particular temple is located at the top of a cliff with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean behind it. A popular place to visit during sunset, this is the perfect spot to spend an evening with your significant other while you watch the sun go down over the water (and if you're lucky, you may see the locals perform the traditional Kecak Dance as well!).


Another must-see stop during your honeymoon in Bali is the iconic Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park. This park is not just a beautifully manicured lawn with a few park benches like you might envision when you hear the word "park"; this specific area stands out because there are multiple magnificant statues across the property. One of the most famous statues is the Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue, which stands at an astounding 121 meters tall and is a representation of the Hindu god Vishnu and his mount, the Garuda bird. Over

3. ride a motorcycle through the rice terraces in ubud

Ubud is a more rural area in Bali, complete with lush rainforests and dense rice paddy fields. My first time visiting Bali, my friend group and I stayed in Ubud for almost a week and we were absolutely obsessed. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and just take in a different culture and landscape, this is a must-see area. This is also the best area in Bali to learn how to ride a scooter if that's something you're interested in because there are a lot of dirt roads lined with rice terraces, palm trees, and not too many other drivers. Just make sure to wear a helmet and find a good rental place!


Ubud is also known for the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, where visitors can roam freely just like the monkeys, and there are even tours available at coffee and tea farms!

4. visit the serene beaches in nusa dua

Nusa Dua epitomizes luxury, with its pristine beaches, exclusive resorts, and beautiful villas. Known for its beauty and upscale amenities, Nusa Dua offers a serene beach holiday coupled with cultural experiences. It’s a place where relaxation meets luxury, ensuring your honeymoon is nothing short of extraordinary. I would personally advise visiting Nusa Dua for a day trip to either Nusa Dua Beach, Geger Beach, or Mengiat Beach for a day of tanning, swimming, and connecting with your significant other. There's also the option to try water sports here, including jet skiiing, parasailing, and more.

5. try the seafood & watch the sunset in jimbaran

Jimbaran Beach is a fish village famed for its seafood restaurants, long beaches with calm water, and breathtaking sunsets, providing a romantic setting for couples. This area is also home to the Jimbaran Fish Market, where couples can enjoy picking out fresh seafood like lobster, shrimp, oysters and more, and bringing it next door to Warung Garlic where they will grill your food for as low as $2 AUD/ $1.30 USD. If you don't want to pick out your seafood and simply want to show up to a good restaurant and eat, I would advise visiting Menega Cafe or Bawang Merah Beach Front Restaurant, both of which are located directly on the beach.

6. cross snorkeling & swimming with dolphins off your bucket list in lovina

For couples seeking a quieter area to spend time together, Lovina, with its calm beaches and traditional Balinese charm, is the ideal destination. There are quite a few must-do activities visitors recommend in this area, but it seems dolphin watching and snorkeling are at the top of the list. Both of these experiences can help to take your honeymoon from just a relaxing trip to a vacation where you're trying new experiences and making new memories with your new spouse. Additionally, exploring the local markets and temples can provide a great cultural experience for couples looking to immerse themselves in the Balinese way of life and to learn a little bit more about the locals.

You Ask & I Answer

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the best time of year to honeymoon in Bali

    The best time of year to honeymoon in Bali is during the dry season, which typically runs from April to October. This period provides tourists with sunny weather and lower humidity/rain, which is ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the island. However, I went in January and even though it did rain a bit, the weather was still beautiful and we had sun 95% of the trip. 

  • How many days should a honeymoon in Bali be?

    The answer to this question depends on where you are currently located. If you are only a couple hours flight away from Bali, in Australia or another area of Southeast Asia, I would say you can come for 5-7 days. If you are American, like me, then the flight to Bali can be 21+ hours long if you fly direct, and the time change for our group was 13 hours. In that case, I would advise taking a longer trip of 10-14 days like we did so your body can get used to the time change, and it makes it more worth it to fly and travel for that long. 

  • Is Bali a good place for a honeymoon?

    Yes! Bali is both a beautiful and cost-effective place for a honeymoon, and it offers all the luxuries you would want from a honeymoon trip anywhere else in the world. From luxury hotels and spa treatments to private beaches, pools, and one-in-a-lifetime activities, this is the perfect place to make memories with your new spouse!

  • What are some romantic activities or experiences for couples in Bali?

    There are countless romantic activities a couple can do when visiting Bali for their honeymoon, including visiting the beaches, swimming in private pools, getting spa treatments, and enjoying a bit of the nightlife. Fortunately, there are quite a few places in Bali, like the Atlas Beach Club, that can offer many of these great experiences at one award-winning spot. 

  • Can you provide information about the Atlas Beach Club and its offerings for honeymooners?

    The Atlas Beach Club in Bali is a premier destination for honeymooners, offering a range of romantic experiences such as beachfront dining and spa treatments. The club's excellent location along the beach and luxurious amenities make it an ideal choice for couples looking for a memorable honeymoon experience.
