Hi lovely people! Your Bali honeymoon itinerary sounds absolutely perfect — a dreamy mix of calm beaches, jungle romance, island adventures, and luxury relaxation. Late July and August are fantastic months to visit as it’s dry season, meaning sunny days, low humidity, and ideal conditions for exploring. Do keep in mind it’s peak season, so book experiences and restaurants in advance where possible.
Here’s a complete guide to help you plan the most magical trip.
5 Nights in Sanur – Laid-Back Coastal Charm
Sanur is peaceful, romantic, and far less hectic than Seminyak or Canggu. It’s a wonderful place to ease into Bali life after your flight.
What to Do in Sanur
Start your mornings with a sunrise walk along the beachfront promenade — Sanur faces east, so the sunrises are stunning and incredibly romantic. Rent bikes and cycle along the paved coastal path, stopping for coffee along the way.
Book a couples’ spa treatment early in your stay. Many spas offer honeymoon packages with flower baths and massages. Sanur is known for its relaxed, intimate spa experiences.
If you want something active, consider a snorkeling day trip to nearby reefs or a short boat ride to Nusa Penida for a guided island tour.
Restaurant Recommendations
Sanur has some beautiful, intimate dining spots:
- Massimo Italian Restaurant – famous for authentic Italian and homemade gelato.
- Three Monkeys – candlelit, cosy and perfect for date night.
- Shotgun Social – a little livelier with fun cocktails and modern bites.
- Genius Café – relaxed beachfront brunch with healthy options.
Sanur isn’t party-heavy, but that’s part of its charm. For sunset drinks, try Byrdhouse Beach Club or a beachfront bar along the main strip.
5 Nights in Ubud – Jungle Romance & Culture
Ubud is pure honeymoon magic. Think jungle infinity pools, rice terraces, waterfalls, and candlelit dinners overlooking valleys.
Silver Making Class (Highly Recommended)
For a meaningful honeymoon activity, do a silver-making workshop. It’s such a lovely keepsake experience.
Great options:
- WS Art Studio
- Studio Perak
- Ubud Silver Class
You’ll design and create your own ring or pendant, guided by skilled artisans. It takes around 2–3 hours and feels very special as a couple activity.
Bali Swing with Dress
Yes — it’s touristy, but it’s also iconic honeymoon content. For the flowing dress photos:
- Alas Harum Bali
- Aloha Ubud Swing
- Zen Hideaway (more private, less commercial)
Many offer dress rental packages for photos. Go early in the morning to avoid queues and harsh midday sun.
Romantic Experiences
- Sunrise at Tegalalang Rice Terraces.
- Waterfall visits (Tibumana and Tegenungan are beautiful and accessible).
- A private floating breakfast at your villa.
- Traditional Balinese cooking class together.
- Mount Batur sunrise hike (if you’re up for an early adventure).
Romantic Dining in Ubud
Ubud is packed with unforgettable dining experiences:
- Kubu at Mandapa – private cocoons by the river. Extremely romantic.
- Mozaic – fine dining tasting menu.
- Swept Away – riverside dining with candlelight.
- Hujan Locale – modern Indonesian cuisine.
- Yellow Flower Café – intimate and charming.
Book at least a couple of special dinners in advance since July/August fills up quickly.
4 Nights in Nusa Lembongan – Island Escape
Nusa Lembongan is smaller, more relaxed, and perfect for barefoot island vibes. It feels a world away from mainland Bali.
Things to Do
- Snorkeling with manta rays (weather dependent).
- Visit Devil’s Tear for dramatic coastal views.
- Walk across the yellow bridge to Nusa Ceningan.
- Sunset at Sandy Bay Beach Club.
- Paddleboarding or kayaking in the mangroves.
It’s ideal for slow days, beach hopping, and enjoying each other’s company without crowds.
Where to Eat
- The Deck Café & Bar – amazing sunset views.
- Sandy Bay Beach Club – perfect for lunch and sunset cocktails.
- Ginger & Jamu – great brunch spot.
- Kayu Manis – lovely Indonesian dishes.
Lembongan roads are bumpy, and transport is usually by scooter or buggy. If you’re not confident on scooters, arrange hotel transfers.
5 Nights in Nusa Dua – All-Inclusive Relax Time
Ending your honeymoon in Nusa Dua is ideal. It’s polished, calm, and perfect for switching off completely.
Spend your days:
- Poolside cocktails.
- Beach walks.
- Couples spa sessions.
- Private cabanas.
- Lazy lunches and sunset drinks.
If you want to leave your resort occasionally:
- Geger Beach for a quieter stretch of sand.
- Waterblow for ocean spray views.
- A sunset seafood dinner in Jimbaran (just a short drive away).
This is your “do absolutely nothing and enjoy being married” phase.
Boujie Beach Clubs & Bars
If you want a glamorous beach day or sunset vibe during your trip, here are some elevated options (mostly around Uluwatu, Seminyak, and Canggu if you’re doing day trips):
- Savaya – cliffside luxury, iconic and very boujie.
- Sundays Beach Club – white sand and crystal water.
- Ku De Ta – classic Bali sunset venue.
- Potato Head Beach Club – stylish and lively.
- Atlas Beach Club – huge and energetic.
Make reservations for daybeds, especially in peak season.
Things to Be Wary Of / Avoid
A few practical honeymoon tips:
- Traffic is real. Bali traffic can be slow and unpredictable. Allow extra time for transfers.
- Book key experiences in advance. Especially swings, special restaurants, and manta snorkeling.
- Stay hydrated. It’s warm even in dry season.
- Be careful with scooters. Only ride if confident.
- Money exchange. Use reputable exchange counters or ATMs inside banks.
- Temple etiquette. Wear a sarong and dress respectfully.
- Avoid overly pushy tour sellers. Use your driver or hotel recommendations.
- Peak season pricing. Expect higher rates and busier venues.
Final Honeymoon Advice
Your itinerary is beautifully balanced. Sanur eases you in. Ubud gives you culture and romance. Lembongan offers island magic. Nusa Dua finishes with pure indulgence.
Make time for:
- One fully unplugged day.
- One spontaneous adventure.
- One special “honeymoon dinner” you’ll never forget.
- And lots of slow mornings together.
Bali is incredibly romantic if you allow yourself to move slowly and soak it all in. It’s less about ticking boxes and more about the atmosphere — the scent of incense, the sound of gamelan music in the distance, warm sunsets, and jungle air.
You’re going to have the most magical honeymoon ❤️
