In a work culture wherein you don’t get much leaves, it becomes mandatory to take some time off and relax your senses. Hence, I and my husband make sure that we explore a new place every time we plan a vacation. This time, we were looking forward to a relaxed beach vacation with the little elements of surprise, and minus the crowd. Though Mauritius was on our mind for quite a long time, Bali was a perfect fit under our budget.

Our main purpose was to relax, sunbathe on a beach, and cure all the wedding blues, which we were quite sure, was possible on our Bali honeymoon. Hence, we started looking for Bali honeymoon packages on Google, and that’s how I came across TravelTriangle. All I did was raise a query, and answer a few questions, post which a TT representative put us through the best of agents, of whom we could pick the one who offers us the best quotes.
And just like that, we picked the best agent, customized our trip in our own way, that too in a matter of few clicks!

Fun & Romantic Things To Do In Bali

1. Bali Beaches + Walking Hand-In-Hand = Romance Personified!

We boarded our flight late in the evening from the Mumbai airport and landed in Bali the next morning. It was quite a long journey as we had boarded a flight earlier from Baroda to Mumbai as well. Hence, we were looking forward to a day wrapped in luxury and relaxation.

As we arrived, the agent’s representative greeted us and we were transferred to the hotel. Later, we checked-in at the Grand Bali Resort in Nusa Dua. It is a gorgeous resort and access to the private beach made our stay quite a pleasant one.

We relaxed our nerves a bit, and decided to enjoy a nice walk on the beach and explore the nearby villages. Walking on the beach, hand-in-hand with my husband, is something which will always be one of the most romantic things to do in Bali that I experienced on our honeymoon.

2. “Espress Yourself” At Bali’s Refreshing Coffee Plantations

We started out on our second day for the exciting Kintamani tour. Our driver was kind enough to take us through the different types of villages like that of wooden village, and textile village on the way. The villages were stunning and it was surprising how each village is dedicated to a particular feature.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t enjoy much of our Kintamani tour as it started raining heavily. We could hardly spot the Agung Volcano, and not that it was anybody’s fault, we returned with much disappointment.

On the contrary, our visit to the lush coffee plantations refreshed our minds instantly and made up for the previous experience. The green landscape was really soothing and it was undoubtedly one of the most romantic things to do in Bali. We tried about 15 types of coffee which was a fantastic experience indeed.

3. Chill On The Exotic Beaches Of Nusa Dua

Of all, our third day in Bali had got us very excited as it was going to be dedicated to the thrilling watersports, and most importantly, it was my husband’s birthday. We started out by 10 am towards Nusa Dua beach, and enjoyed every bit of the banana boat ride, parasailing, tube ride, and underwater sea walking.

Later in the evening, we went out for sightseeing to some of the famous places in Bali like the Uluwatu temple and the Monkey Forest. As an architect, I was really impressed with the enchanting Uluwatu temple. We relished all our adventures to the core and it was quite a thrilling day for us.

4. Choose To Cruise With Your Dear Wife On A Dinner Date

We kissed Nusa Dua a goodbye on the fourth day and greeted Kuta with open arms. We were transferred to Kuta in the morning and checked-in at the Bali Dream Villa in Seminyak which took the officials a very long time to complete. We ended up wasting about an hour or two in the check-in process.

As much as we were excited to explore Kuta, the heavy showers of rain spoiled our plans to explore the property, yet once again. Somehow we managed to have lunch at an Indian restaurant, and later in the evening, we geared up for the romantic dinner cruise.

Bali Hai cruise was waiting for us and the interiors of the cruise dazzled us to the core. The decor, and the ambience made a lot of difference to our dinner cruise which is once again, one of the most romantic things to do in Bali. We relished every bit of the cabaret dance, magic show, and the delicious cuisine that made our experience, an unforgettable one.

5. Dedicate A Day For The Love Of Shopping

Fifth day was more like a leisure day for us. We decided to spend equal amount of time in exploring the resort and shopping in Kuta.

Later in the day, we went out to the nearby malls and shopped our hearts out. Since it was our last day in Bali, we decided to hit the scenic beaches for one last time. Soon, this impromptu decision took us to the Seminyak beach wherein we got to witness the vibrant nightlife of Bali.

6. Relishing The Stunning Sunset Was The Best Experience

In the evening before we could return to our hotel, we also visited the Kuta beach to watch the sun go down. Though it was just for a while that we stayed on the beach, witnessing a sunset with your soulmate has its own charm, and Bali did that magic for us.

With such intoxicating views of the sunset, we felt that our Bali honeymoon experience was magical, and a satisfying one indeed. On the sixth day, we woke up with such nostalgia, had a delicious breakfast, finished the checkout process, and were transferred to the airport. Also, we’d like to thank TravelTriangle for making this happen with such ease and at our convenience.
Kudos to the team and we cannot wait to plan our next trip to either Hong Kong or Singapore. To sum up our vacation, our Bali honeymoon was a great experience, and the special moments of the trip will be etched in our memories forever.
