A Fashion Insider’s Guide to Honeymooning in Bali


In my experience, the honeymoon is one of the best parts of getting married. Sure, the ceremony is nice, but two or three weeks of absolute bliss on a beach? Sign me up! As anyone who is married will tell you, after planning a wedding (even if it’s very low-key), the idea of getting away with your new beau and forgetting about guest lists, food allergies and your first dance is a welcome one.

Usually, the honeymoon is an opportunity to venture somewhere further afield, and perhaps an excuse to spend a bit more money, so there can be a level of pressure to pick the right destination. My husband and I chose Bali as our second stop for a beach break after 10 days in Japan, and it really was the trip of a lifetime. What made it so great for us is that instead of picking one resort and staying put, we broke up our trip in Bali into three parts, so although we would have loved to spend a month backpacking around the various islands, we still felt like we got a real taste despite only being there just over a week.
