Where to Stay
Nusa Dua is the hot spot for loved up couples. Located in South Bali, it is well and truly in its own realm of tranquillity. With pristine beaches, luxurious resorts and a rejuvenating atmosphere, the region has undoubtedly earned itself its position as one of the top destinations for honeymooners.
Nusa Dua is appealing to honeymooners that are looking to escape from the everyday grind and head to a secluded beachfront resort. While there are plenty of resorts to choose from in peaceful Nusa Dua, the Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Spa is one of the most sought after resorts in the area. Located just 25-minutes from Ngurah Rai International airport, the resort sits on the prime beachfront location of Tanjung Benoa. You and your hubby/wife will be greeted with a welcome drink, fruit basket and a chilled towel before being escorted to your room.
Other stunning resorts perfect for a honeymoon in Bali include: Paradisus by Melia Bali, Samabe Bali Suites & Villas, or Double Six Luxury Hotel Seminyak.
If staying at the Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Spa, you can do as little or as much as you like. There is an adults-only infinity pool at the resort so couples can relax without worrying about bomb dives from little ones. After cooling off in the pool, you have the choice of eight restaurants on site. Whether you’re feeling Indian, Asian, Chinese or Italian, you’ve got it all within the one resort. And make sure you set aside a day to truly unwind and take advantage of the luxurious onsite spa. Your all-inclusive experience also elevates your stay with fantastic extras! Enjoy daily free-flow drinks – perfect for toasting your new life together. Additionally, you’ll have complimentary use of resort non-motorised water-sports such as kayaks, hobie cats, and boogie boards, plus access to hotel sports equipment and activities including tennis, beach bikes, basketball, billiards, beach volleyball, and soccer.
Paradisus by Melia Bali is re-opening in December 2025 after extensive renovations. Also offering an all-inclusive stay with access to 24-hour meals/snacks/drinks, plus an adults only ‘Reserve’ wing, a stay at the Paradisus will be one to remember.
If you choose to stay at Samabe Bali Suites & Villas, your stay will be truly magical as you are treated like royalty. Everything is taken care of at this all-inclusive resort and the bonus all-inclusive perks are second-to-none, with a variety of complimentary activities, tours and other inclusions. This is luxury at its best!
Last but not least if you prefer to stay on the Kuta/Seminyak side of Bali, the Double Six Luxury Hotel Seminyak is 5-star bliss. A beautiful resort in the heart of Seminyak, close to bars, restaurants and shopping, the Double Six boasts stunning Suites that will ensure a wonderful stay.
What to Do
Beyond the luxe 5-star resorts, Bali offers endless romantic adventures perfect for a honeymoon – think sunrise hikes up Mount Batur, sunset dinners on the beach in Jimbaran, wandering hand-in-hand through the lush rice terraces of Ubud, or getting couples spa treatments in a jungle-view pavilion. Add in waterfall swims, temple blessings, and candlelit dinners in hidden cliffside restaurants, and you’ve got the makings of an unforgettable escape.
When to Go
Whether you’re planning on honeymooning immediately after your big day or you’d prefer a cooling-off period before your getaway, our holiday specialists have determined the perfect time to visit this dreamy province.
Between March and September, Bali experiences its dry season. This is the perfect time of the year to visit – when there is less humidity and less chance of rain – perfect for enjoying those tropical beaches and outdoor activites. Between March and May, you can also experience Nusa Dua with fewer mid-year crowds. If you and your partner are looking forward to a quiet honeymoon, our holiday specialists recommend this time.
How Much to Spend
Sticking to a budget can be difficult, especially after your wedding day. Here is our guide to the ideal daily spend for meals and activities for you to stick to during your trip to Bali.
A daily spend varies from person to person, also depending on how much (or how little you choose to do). On a Bali honeymoon, a comfortable daily budget ranges from AUD $120–$300 per couple, depending on your travel style. This typically covers romantic dining, private drivers or tours, massages or spa treatments, and a few cocktails at sunset. If you’re splurging on activities like beach clubs, fine dining, or adventure tours, budget closer to the higher end – but thanks to Bali’s great value, even indulgent days don’t have to break the bank.
You can also save money by booking one of Hoot’s all-inclusive deals. Fantastic all-inclusive packages with flights, transfers, accommodation and more, not only save you money in the long-run, but also offer peace of mind upfront, on how much your holiday is going to cost.
