Whilst price maybe a factor in deciding where you stay on your honeymoon in Bali, you shouldn't let it be a deciding one. It's also worth considering how much time you will actually spend in your honeymoon villa?

The villas in Bali offer a great deal of privacy, with even the most modest ones providing everything a newly married couple could need to keep themselves occupied for a few days, they generally include facilities like fully fitted kitchens and private pools. If you can afford a fully serviced Bali honeymoon villa, then it's quite possible that like many newlyweds; you won't ever step outside the confines of your villa during your entire honeymoon in Bali.

The Cost of Having a Honeymoon in Romantic Bali

 

Kuta is generally the cheapest option for people renting a honeymoon villa in Bali. One bedroom self-service villas can be hired out for as little as $150 a night, though for just a little bit extra ($200-$250 a night) it's possible to get a very attractive semi-serviced honeymoon villa; that isn't located too far from the nightlife or the beach. There are some incredibly high end options in Kuta, but unless you particularly want to explore the Bali party scene, you're better off thinking about Ubud or Seminyak if you want to explore a more premium option.

If having a private enclosed pool is just an attractive and option as being near a beach, then Ubud is probably one of the most romantic places to honeymoon in Bali. From Ubud you have easy access to a wide range of interesting activities, without having to wander too far away from your honeymoon villa in order to indulge in them. The cultural heart of the island makes a wonderful tropical island retreat, providing the perfect experience for the couple who want to have that storybook Bali honeymoon that they will remember forever. If you do your research, Ubud can prove very cost effective with prices starting from just $250 a night for a semi-serviced private honeymoon villa.

Then for those who want to spend their honeymoon in Bali getting a taste of the high life, Seminyak has all the glitz and glam that the island has to offer, playing host to a mass of top end spas, shopping boutiques and gourmet restaurants. You can expect to pay at least $300 a night for a fully serviced Bali honeymoon villa with every-kind of modern convenience installed, but the price is nothing compared to the fairy tale Bali honeymoon memories you'll receive in return.

Travel To Bali Island from U.S.

Known as the "happy island," Bali is an Indonesian island just 2 km off of the island of Java. The island is abundant with flowers, lush vegetation and smiling faces more than willing to welcome you to your temporary home. And since Bali is relatively inexpensive, traveling within the island is not likely to overtax your pocketbook; the most expensive part will most likely be the flight that gets you there.

Step 1

Get a U.S. passport, or if you already have one, check your passport's expiration date. According to the U.S. Department of State, travelers will not be admitted into Indonesia without six months' validity left on their passport. Additionally, you will need two empty pages in your passport to enter Bali. If your passport is set to expire in six months or less, you have less than two pages left in your passport, or don't have a passport at all, visit the Department of State's "Passports" website to get your passport in order.

Step 2

Book your travel. If you plan to fly into Bali, a number of airlines provide the transportation directly to the island via Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, including Continental Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas and Air Asia. If you book your flight through an online booking agent, type in the airport code "DPS" to book your flight to Bali. You also can get to Bali via ferry from Java, the main island of Indonesia. Ferries leave from Ketapang in Java several times a day and take you across the Lombok Strait to the western end of Bali. Typically, there is no need to reserve ahead of time -- just show up at the ferry dock and pay for the next crossing.

Step 3

Book your accommodations. From the exquisite mountainside accommodations at the Taman Wana Villas and Spa near the West Bali National Park to the affordable and accessible digs at the Stana Puri Gopa Hotel near the capital city of Denpasar, Bali offers a wide array of choices for hotels, guest houses and vacation homes. To narrow your search and save some money, consider bundling your travel and booking the rooms offered through the online agent you used for your flight, or browse the options provided by the "In Bali Hotels" website.

Step 4

Pack for warm weather and the occasional rainstorm. Bali's temperatures vary from the high 60s to the 90s F, so no cold weather gear is needed. If you're traveling between December and March, expect rainstorms, as this is the island's monsoon season.

Step 5

Complete your visa documents. According to the U.S. Department of State, travelers from the United States who are coming to Bali for pleasure can get a visa on arrival into Indonesia -- whether it be Bali or other islands. You will need to fill out a form at the borderand pay a $25 fee, and customs officials should issue you a 30-day visa on the spot.
