The best luxury honeymoon hotels in Bali

First on our list of Bali luxury honeymoon hotels is Bvlgari Resort Bali. Home to a variety of magnificent private villas, this resort has ultra-sophisticated vibes that make this such a perfect option for newlyweds.

Spend your time locked away together in your own beachfront sanctuary, with a round-the-clock butler bringing you everything you need right to your door. 

We recommend booking a stay in the Ocean View Villa. With its private garden, plunge pool, and high perimeter walls, it’s the ultimate romantic retreat when you’re seeking peace and quiet away from other guests.

When you do venture outside to the resort, make sure you book a table at the resort’s fine dining restaurant, Il Ristorante – Luca Fantin. The upscale feel and dark candle-lit decor make it the perfect spot for an intimate dinner. The exquisite gourmet food is pretty spectacular too. 

Next on our list is W Bali - Seminyak. The biggest draw here is the plethora of exciting R&R options, meaning your honeymoon will be packed with all sorts of fun things to do. 

If you love chilling around the pool, you can spend your day dipping in and out of the 1,790-square-foot swimming pool designed around traditional Balinese rice fields. By sunset, a resident DJ will take you into the night with a set of Ibiza-ready tunes.

Plus, with the resort taking a prime spot on the bustling Seminyak Beach, party-going honeymooners fit right in here.

Seminyak is packed with swanky and lively beachfront bars, all with extensive cocktail menus waiting for you to work your way through. A sunset piña colada has never tasted this blissful!

Are you newlyweds looking to relax in a five-star oasis? If so, COMO Shambhala Estate is the place for you. The resort takes a health and wellness-focused approach to holidaying, so come here expecting to not just live lavishly, but to reconnect with yourself, your new spouse, and Mother Nature. 

Honeymooners should stay in one of the cute and cosy Garden Suites. You’ll rest your head in a king-sized four-poster bed, making it an idyllic haven when you want to snuggle up together one morning with breakfast in bed.

Then in the afternoon you can enjoy a couples massage at the hotel spa before heading to Kudus House for dinner, the resort’s signature restaurant showcasing the best flavours and spices of traditional Indonesian cuisine. Luxury honeymoons in Bali don’t come much more special than here.

After a honeymoon that screams grandeur and decadence? Look no further than The St. Regis Bali Resort. This place is the epitome of premium elegance, from the glamorous interiors of your private suite to the tranquil vibes of the renowned on-site Remède Spa and the magnificent open-air terrace of Boneka restaurant.

Every corner of this place leaves a lasting impression of opulence, especially if you stay in the St. Regis Lagoon Villa. With 1,410ft2 of space, a garden terrace, and private beach access, honeymooners staying here are treated like real VIPs.

However, amongst the glam, active holiday-goers still have plenty to keep them from having itchy feet, like hiking nearby Mount Batukaru or heading down the resort’s own water sports centre. 

We hear a romantic tandem parasail calling your name – it’s one of the best ways to see Bali’s breath-taking tropical landscape from a birds-eye view. 

Last on our list of Bali’s best luxury honeymoon hotels is Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan.

Unlike the island’s secondary Four Seasons hotel situated on the ever-popular Jimbaran Bay, we think this particular Sayan is better suited for a serene-style honeymoon. Taking a wonderful waterside spot along the Ayung River, this place brings a new meaning to rainforest paradise.

Most extraordinary is your very own suite that boasts spectacular views of lush forestry and neighbouring rice fields. Not only will you wake up next to the person in the world you love the most, but the mornings are made even more special out on your private balcony.

Order a champagne breakfast and soak up the sights and sounds of exotic birds tweeting in the trees and the relaxing sounds of the Ayung River nearby.

Is Bali a good place to book your honeymoon?
Bali is a super romantic destination if you visit the right places and plan the right kind of things to do.

Best of all, there’s something for all types of honeymooners, whether you’re a couple of high-flyers looking to lap up the luxury in a first-rate resort, beach babies wanting to lie on white sandy beaches sipping Mojitos, active surfers looking to ride the waves of the Indian Ocean, or laid-back and loved up travellers who want to explore Bali’s temples and rainforest trails.

All of the above makes Bali one of the best honeymoon destinations out there. 

What should you take on your honeymoon to Bali?
It all depends on how you plan to spend your time in Bali. If you’re booking a stay in one of the luxury resorts mentioned in this list, we recommend bringing the following items alongside the usual holiday essentials:

• a few of your best outfits to wear at the ritzy resort restaurants
• a beach bag to hold your belongings when lounging on the sands
• a pack of cards to play on your private balcony before dinner
• sarongs and other clothes to cover up when entering religious temples
• comfortable sports gear to trek around local villages and rainforests (backpack, hiking shoes, sunhat, etc.)
