Honeymoon in Bali

In Bali, a honeymoon is known as Bulan Maduh.
Bali, the fabled "Island of the Gods", is the ultimate honeymoon destination with its magical allure of misty volcanoes, golden beaches and azure waters. Every square inch of Bali offers a fresh and beautiful image that will live with you forever.

Planning a honeymoon is a very personal experience and trusted expert advice is what we offer to help make your honeymoon unforgettable. Rather than providing packaged deals we will help you customize your plans with choices of location and activities that will fit your budget.

This is a 3-step process which starts with booking the air.
  1. Please go to our Airfares page and choose the desired carrier and route you wish to go.
  2. View my list of the Honeymoon Hotels and Spas that I recommend. The usual stay is around 7 days. I recommend some time at the beach and then some time in the hills to experience the culture of Bali. Of course, it's your special trip and ultimately it's up to you. The hotels and spas range in prices. I have special rates at these properties that are lower than what you see on the hotel's web sites.
  3. The next step is booking the suggested outings that you may want to take to experience the true beauty of Bali. As an International destination the Restaurants are extremely cosmopolitan, yet inexpensive. Bali is also a shopper's paradise. You will find locally made jewelry, sarongs, clothing, wood carvings and paintings. For those of you seeking to experience the culture of Bali you will find peace and tranquility in the hills near the village of Ubud. Or visit peaceful Lake Bratan, nestled between the volcanoes of Bali's highlands.
More active honeymooners can Raft down the Ayung River or take the Catamaran Cruise to nearby Nusa Lembongan. There's also Diving at Amed beach and Cycling amid scenery you will never forget. Bali is also a renowned Surfing destination with some of the world's best waves. When the sun sets choices are still hard to make. A perfect way to end the evening is to watch a spectacular Balinese Dance.

I would be happy to guide you, to assist you, and help make your Honeymoon the very special, unforgettable occasion that it is meant to be. One that will live with you forever. 
 
Or watch the legendary Kuta sunset followed by a romantic Starlight Dinner Cruise.

Surfing in Bali

The obvious sports one would expect to find in Bali is of course Surfing.   And there is planty.  In fact, Bali is world renowned for its surf and surfers from everywhere who flock to Bali to enjoy the glassy tubes.

A word of warning

When surfing, it is wise to be well protected from the sun and the currents and use the buddy system whenever you go out. The most popular spots are: Kuta and Legian beach which is hollow barrels over sand bars, and Uluwatu, a very difficult left hander for experienced surfers only. Other spots include Canguuu and Medwi, which is north of Kuta. During the right time of year, you can find a right hander off the coral reef on the Sanur side.

Making For The Breaks

There are many breaks on the outer islands including Lomboc and Nusa Lembongan. You can rent boards in Bali along Kuta beach(better to rent from shops) and there are shops in the Kuta area selling boards, as well as a surf school. May through September is the Dry season and usually the peak surfing season. Water temperatures are always around 80degrees so only board shorts are required.

I first traveled to Bali in 1974 to go surfing when very few Balinese surfed and few Aussies were there. My favorite breaks are: Uluwatu, a reef break very a hallow and fast left; Kuta Beach is a beach break perfect for beginner surfers as well as experts. The waves are short but you don't have to paddle out very far to reach the break. Padang Padang and Balangan beach are also reef breaks,on the Bukit peninsula, but only for experts;Canggu is a more isolated beach break good for beginners and further to the west is Balian, a river mouth with a sand bottom. Nusa Dua and Sanur beach are both reef breaks but better in the Wet Season October through April.
