Top 5 Romantic Bali Honeymoon Activities
If you have chosen Bali, the Island of the Gods as your honeymoon hotspot of choice – and why wouldn’t you? – but aren’t quite sure what to do during your time on this emerald isle, read on: Honeymoon Dreams has put together a selection of the top 5 uber-romantic honeymoon activities in Bali to enjoy while you are sojourning in this little slice of tropical paradise. All you have to do is book your flights, select your sexy and sophisticated honeymoon accommodation – and let your romantic Balinese adventure begin.
Have a romantic sunset dinner!
Nothing beats a cosy candlelit meal under the stars, and in Bali the experience is heightened by the balmy tropical warmth, by the stunning scenery and by the delectable exotic fare on offer. Private candlelit dinners can, in many cases, be arranged at your resort, but you may also want to opt for the Jimbaran seafood dinner. First you will get to visit the beautiful Uluwatu Temple, an iconic Balinese landmark, before savouring the breath-taking sunset and settling in for a delicious dinner of barbecued seafood on the beach.
Go on an elephant safari
While in Europe the medieval nobility rode around in elaborate carriages or on horseback, in many parts of Asia you would often see noble lords and ladies seated in elegant palanquins or howdahs perched on the back of a majestic pachyderm. If you want to emulate this experience – but without the extravagant litter, of course – book yourselves onto an elephant safari. What better way to experience the mesmerising beauty of rural Bali than by viewing it from the back of an elephant?
Be dazzled by some of the island’s holiest sites
Bali is home to an array of exquisite old temples, many of them worn by sun, wind and rain but still managing to impart an overwhelming sense of grandeur, serenity and holiness. Three of the most spectacular are Uluwatu, Tanah Lot – perched on a weathered rock surrounded by crashing waves – and the largest temple of them all, Besakih, situated on the emerald slopes of Mount Agung. Consisting of numerous temples, shrines and sanctuaries, Besakih is a Bali must-see for couples who want to experience a taste of the island’s rich culture and history.
Purchase some delightful additions to your marital home at the Ubud Art Market
If you’re keen to pick up some beautiful mementoes of your unforgettable Balinese honeymoon head to the Ubud Art Market – where scenes from Eat, Pray, Love were shot – and spend a pleasant morning or afternoon shopping for artwork, woven baskets, scarves, hats and brass Buddha statues, each one guaranteed to be an exotic addition to your walls, your closet or your mantelpiece back home; not to mention a great talking point for when friends and family come to visit!
Stroll hand in hand along a beautiful Balinese beach
While Bali is home to lush emerald rice terraces, looming volcanoes, dense jungle and weathered stone temples aplenty, the island is also known for its incredible beaches – and for good reason. During your Balinese honeymoon you would be remiss if you did not spend at least some time walking, sunbathing or swimming on one of the island’s picturesque beaches. From the 5km stretch of Sanur Beach, which is relatively tranquil, to the dynamic shores of Kuta or Seminyak and the hidden gems of Geger and the volcanic black-sand beach of Amed, there is truly a beach for everyone on the Island of the Gods.
