By the Nexara Holidays travel desk · 2 min read

Bali (South Coast) is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations for Indian couples. Here are fifteen experiences to make it special.

In Ubud

1. Stay in a jungle pool villa overlooking the river valleys of Ubud.
2. Have a floating breakfast in your private pool.
3. Walk the rice terraces of Tegallalang at sunrise.
4. Try the Bali jungle swings for photos above the valley.
5. Take a Balinese cooking class together.
6. Visit Tirta Empul for the water purification ritual.
7. Watch a traditional dance performance in the evening.

On the coast

1. Watch the sunset at Uluwatu Temple followed by the Kecak fire dance.
2. Have a seafood dinner on Jimbaran Bay with your feet in the sand.
3. Spend an afternoon at a beach club in Seminyak.
4. Book a couple's spa ritual with a flower bath.

Day trips

1. Explore Nusa Penida's dramatic cliffs and snorkel with manta rays.
2. Take a sunrise trek on Mount Batur, for adventurous couples.
3. Sail to the Gili Islands for turtles and car-free calm.
4. Visit Tanah Lot at sunset.

Practical tips

• Split your stay between Ubud and the coast. See Bali itinerary for 5 to 7 days: where to stay and what to see.
• April to October is the dry season. See Best time to visit Bali: dry season, wet season and festivals.
• Hire a private driver; traffic is slow.
• Respect temple dress codes. See Bali's ceremonies and Nyepi: what visitors should know.

How long should a Bali honeymoon be?

Six or seven nights lets you enjoy both Ubud and the coast without rushing, with one day trip. With five nights, keep to two bases and skip the island trips.

Budget tip

Bali offers private pool villas at prices that would buy a standard room in many other destinations. Spend on one special villa and keep the rest simple.
