There are many cliff-top resorts and luxury villas with incredible sea views where you can enjoy a romantic drink whilst watching the sunset.

It’s also the most popular spot for surfers due to the impressive waves which can be found at Sulaban Beach, Dreamland Beach, Bingin Beach and Balangan Beach.

It’s perfect for culture lovers who want to shop and explore the museums, temples and see the traditional dancers of Bali and is THE place to pamper yourself and indulge in lavish spa experiences.

Important information on Bali for your honeymoon

80% of Bali’s economy comes from tourism, therefore English is widely spoken and popular with tourists, unspoilt isolated beaches may be hard to find as it is a popular destination.

Though English is spoken everywhere it’s also a good idea to learn some basic phrases such as “selamat pagi” meaning “good morning” or “terima kasih” which is “thank you” in Bahasa. A little effort goes a long way and locals will appreciate the effort.

Visas are not required for nationals from 169 different countries if you intend to stay for 30 days or less. Your passport must have a validity of 6 months from the date of travel and you must have your return travel booked.

Before travelling to Bali, it is advisable to have a Hepatitis A vaccine and a Tetanus shot within the last 10 years. It’s also a great idea to get travel insurance before your trip for any situations that may occur during your travels.

ATM cash machines are widely available on the main island of Bali and the local currency is IDR, it’s always a good idea to carry some cash for transportation and street vendors and some restaurants and shops, as not all places will accept cash.

Transportation around Bali is relatively easy, there are plenty of taxis. To avoid being scammed you can always find a Bluebird tax and request that the meter is turned on before your journey. In most cases, haggling is a useful way to get a good price if you’re up for it.

You can also rent a motorbike to get around but be aware that driving can be dangerous in Southeast Asia. Many hotels organise pickups so this is the best and least stressful way to orient yourself when you arrive.

Water should not be drunk from the tap, bottled water is available everywhere and many restaurants offer free refills. If you’re in a reputable bar, restaurant or hotel the ice there should be relatively safe. Brushing your teeth with tap water is fine, however, if you have a sensitive stomach, it’s safer to brush with bottled water.

Bali has incredible cuisine and also now due to tourism, restaurants cater to every diet, as well as vegetarian and vegan food. Don’t miss out on the experience of dining at a warung to taste some authentic Balinese flavours.

You should not have issues with food poisoning during your stay, however, it’s recommended to bring some medication in case you get a bout of Bali belly. The best thing to do is also dine at places with an open kitchen or a high turnover of food, don’t be afraid to eat where the locals go!

Tipping in restaurants is not expected but it’s very much appreciated.  The average cost for a meal for two in Bali is around 9 euros making it an incredibly affordable destination to enjoy the different flavours on offer.

Finally, a word of warning. When you arrive at the airport in Indonesia you’ll see warnings that drug trafficking is punishable by death. Be aware when travelling around Bali that there are many people selling drugs, especially around Kuta beach. It’s best to avoid any drugs in Bali during your visit.
