Best Honeymoon Hotels & Resorts In Bali
Bali is full of an amazing selection of luxury resorts perfectly suited to honeymooners. We have chosen a selection of the most romantic hotels in our portfolio but please do check out our full collection of Bali resorts here.
Kappa Senses Resort, Ubud
With so much more to offer beyond the classic beach escape, start your honeymoon in Ubud. This colourful, paddy-field lined and bustling village lies at the heart of Bali. Uniquely nestled amongst the beautiful rice paddies and jungle surroundings, Kappa Senses is a honeymooner’s paradise. To put this resort simply, think romance, luxury and serenity.
On arrival you’ll feel worlds away from daily life. Stunning views offer a warm welcome and peaceful sounds of dripping water from the fountains ease all worries. Relax around one of their two pools or indulge in their luxurious OmTara Spa by Clarins with seven different treatment rooms.
All 76 villas are beautifully designed, but for ultimate romance, Turquoise Holidays recommend choosing a pool villa for utmost privacy. Dine in one of their three restaurants or enjoy a romantic dinner in a quiet setting. With a complimentary shuttle bus to Ubud’s town centre (only 15 minutes away) it’s ideally located so you can explore by day and end at your peaceful haven amidst the lush jungle.
Bisma Eight Hotel, Ubud
Another gorgeous hotel for your honeymoon in Ubud is Bisma Eight, a beautiful boutique resort. This chic hideaway is made up of 38 spacious rooms. For your honeymoon, Turquoise Holidays recommends the Forest Suite with sweeping panoramic views of the jungle. Take your honeymoon experience one step further by spending a few nights at both hotels in Ubud, or choose one if you don’t wish to move around as much.
You’ll never forget witnessing the breathtaking sunsets Bali is known for. The views at Bisma Eight are unbeatable. By day, you can explore Ubud or relax by the incredible infinity pool surrounded by lush greenery. Yet another perfect spot to watch the sun go down.
You won’t get bored with the complimentary activities to choose from, such as rooftop yoga, Balinese cooking, Balinese dance lessons, and jammu making. Since Bisma Eight is only a 15 minute walk to Ubud’s town centre, this hotel is ideal if you want to be as close as possible to the atmosphere of Ubud.
A short walk will take you to cute cafes, restaurants, local markets, and the monkey forest, to name a few. Back at your hotel you’ll be welcomed by an instant sense of calmness and serenity.
Honeymoons At The Samaya Seminyak Hotel
In the heart of Seminyak, The Samaya, is set on the beach in southern Bali. Turquoise Holidays puts it simply: “The Samaya will always have a special place in our hearts”. Resting on one of Bali’s loveliest beaches, the town of Seminyak has several cool bars and restaurants for a night out or if you want to experience local life while on your honeymoon. The beauty of The Samaya Seminyak is that it’s far enough from the main town. You can still enjoy your tranquil retreat, floating in the pool and hearing only the crash of waves. This resort is loved for its special touches. Think fruit salads by the pool, 24/7 care from your own butler, and traditional Balinese activities. All spacious villas come with their own full size private lap pool and the bathrooms are jaw-dropping (they’re as big as your room and courtyard put together and have their own jacuzzi!). This hotel can also offer a romantic set up on the beach for dinner in their highly recommended Breeze restaurant. The Samaya Seminyak really has it all and spending some time here on your honeymoon is a must!
Samanvaya, Sideman
Journey to Samanvaya in eastern Bali for a secluded honeymoon. Show-stopping rooms at Sideman’s resort are crafted by a local craftsman and come with daily breakfast and complimentary afternoon tea. Five of their rooms even have their own private pool or jacuzzi! When you’re done relaxing, you’ll be able to choose from the resort’s many different tours and activities to enjoy together. Samanvaya exudes romance from the moment you arrive, this adult-only resort is definitely one of the most romantic hotels in Bali. Located in the East of Bali, Sideman is said to represent Ubud 20 years ago. It’s much more remote and therefore boasts amazing views of the rice field landscapes and vibrant greenery. This really is a hidden gem as fewer tourists have discovered this tropical paradise. With only 18 rooms, you’ll get exclusive treatment in an intimate, secluded and remote oasis. As far as activities go, Turquoise Holidays recommends the scooter tour to see the breathtaking viewpoints of Sideman, waterfalls, rice fields and temples. Dining at Samanvaya is exquisite, with views of the rice fields and a truly romantic ambience. So, spend a few nights here on your honeymoon for all the romance, privacy, and views.
The Oberoi Beach Resort, Lombok
In contrast to Bali, Lombok is a lesser known, lesser developed, and a much quieter island. It boasts beautiful unspoilt beaches ideal for surfing, as well as lush green mountainous landscapes and infinite paddy fields. The Oberoi Beach Resort is a great value option to add to your trip for a few nights if you’re looking to relax by the sea and have a break from the hustle and bustle of Bali.
Take a 2 hour boat ride from Bali to the beautiful Oberoi Beach Resort. Located right on the seafront in Medana Bay, it’s surrounded by tranquil gardens and lush paddy fields. From here you can see right across the waters to the impressive Mt. Agung in the distance.
The Oberoi Beach Resort’s style is traditional, with thatched roofs and polished wooden interiors. The resort is built around a rustic infinity pool which is designed into a three-stepped water feature. The highlight of this property? A private pier where you’ll enjoy complimentary kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkelling. Definitely try to see the beautiful marine wildlife here! You can arrange a trip to the Gili islands from the hotel. Although nestled in a quieter area, evenings in Lombok are never dull. One night you may enjoy a romantic BBQ on the beach with a sax player and the next you’re watching traditional Balinese dancers while enjoying a customary Indonesian dinner.
