Beauteous Bali

THIS TROPICAL ISLAND evokes images of lush jungles, beaches, paddy fields, temples influenced by Hindu culture and a laid-back vibe. Tucked away among Indonesia’s many islands, Bali is a veritable paradise and ideal for honeymooners looking for a mix of adventure, culture, food and leisure. Stay at luxe resorts along the coast offering uninterrupted sea views, where you can indulge in pampering spa treatments, sample local Indonesian fare and go beach-hopping. While places like Seminyak and Kuta can be quite touristy, for something quieter, head to the surfer-cool destination of Uluwatu for an easygoing life, beaches and clifftop clubs that are perfect for sundowners.

Canggu is popular, with a host of vegan eateries serving everything from hipster smoothie bowls to indulgent brunches and also features black sand beaches among its many attractions. Ubud, by contrast is bucolic and quiet, home to lush jungles, waterfalls and rice paddies, which you can explore on cycles. Get yourselves a private pool villa to make the most of the pastoral setting. Munduk in North Bali is equally scenic and if you have the time, hop over to the Gili Islands for their rustic beauty. balitourismboard.or.id/
