Escape to the exotic island of Bali for a relaxing honeymoon getaway.
By Nicolette Ong
I don’t know about you; but after months of planning, days of sleepless nights, and hours of stressing, all I would want after my wedding is to relax in a posh beach resort and just spend some quality, intimate time with my husband - an idyllic paradise away from any naggy mother-in-laws and pesky bosses.
And no, I don’t want to spend 10 hours or more travelling just to get there. To me, the perfect honeymoon destination is just three hours away by plane, at a luxurious resort in gorgeous Bali!
With its lush volcanic landscapes, charming rice paddy fields and pristine beaches, Bali beguiles honeymooners from all over the world. And with the myriad of five-star resorts peppered throughout the island, you’ll be simply spoilt for choice. Here are our top two dream spots.

Just like the exclusive and alluring Bulgari brand that is synonymous for its precious jewellery and accessories, the Bvlgari Hotels & Resort, Bali is no exception.
Sitting elegantly on a 150-metres high plateau at the southern tip of the Bukit Peninsula, the resort overlooks a vast spread of the Indian Ocean. Featuring white butik stone walls, the resort is somewhat reminiscent of an exotic | |

mediaeval fortress. To escape to the beach, take the inclined elevator down where there is also a Private Beach Club for your use.
The 59 ocean-view villas in the property are fashioned after a blend of traditional Balinese and contemporary Italian design. Terracing down a hillside, each free-standing villa is ultra private and decked with tropical wood furnishings, Balinese antiques and marble bathrooms. Here, you can soak all day in the private plunge pool or enjoy quiet moments together at the patio. To top it off, the resort offers a highly personalised service with butlers to tend to all your needs. |

If you’re not quite a beach-loving person, the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan offers a unique forest-like setting that will delight your senses from beginning to the end.
Upon arrival at the resort, you’ll have to travel across a teak bridge over a spectacular gorge, reaching an oval shaped 852sqm lotus pond sitting peacefully on the roof of the resort’s three level high central building. The entire resort actually lies gracefully on 18 acres of terraced rice slopes. So as you descend the

stairs to the reception area, do take in the views of the valley, lush foliage and Ayung River. Rest in any of the 60 luxury suites and private villas that are nestled from the top of the hillside down to the river bank. The resorts’ free standing villas come equipped with your own gardens, outdoor showers, terraces and plunge pools. These resplendent villas offer the utmost privacy and the deluxe amenities so that you never want to leave your room. Also, be sure to indulge in enticing Ayurvedic spa treatments at the lavish spa villas that offer luxuriant views of the jungle and glistening river.  |
