Bali - Far East

Bali, or ‘Isle of the Gods’ as it is known, is one of the many islands in Indonesia where snorkelling and diving in the crystal clear waters, or lazing away night and day, are favourite pastimes. For many wedding couples, Bali defines tropical tourism with its startling geographical contrasts of verdant hillside rice fields, idyllic white sandy beaches, sacred, mist-wreathed volcanoes and lush tropical forests. A really stunning Island Wedding choice.

It is a densely populated island with a vibrant Balinese culture making it a unique and extravagant destination for many bridal couples seeking artistic and ceremonial heritage. Music, dance and drama are all closely related in Bali with dancers being a regular part of almost every temple festival. With popular beaches for beach weddings like Kuta, Sanur and Nusa Dua and a vast variety of water sport activities such as river rafting, sailing, jet skiing, paragliding and surfing, you’re set to enjoy many days of fun in the sun. If however you prefer something a little more relaxed and laid back, there are many spas around Bali offering pampering beauty treatments to restore both mind and body through a holistic approach. Beaches are just perfect for barefoot beach weddings.
