In Bali, you have your choice between white sand beaches with a glamorous vibe, rugged coves, prime surfing spots, and unforgettable black sand beaches on the northern and western shorelines. In short, there are plenty of romantic beach spots for you and your new spouse to soak up the natural beauty of the island. One of Bali\u2019s most popular beaches for honeymooners is Seminyak Beach, adjacent to some of the island\u2019s best resorts, shops and restaurants. This beach is a great place to relax with a book and tropical drink in hand during the day, but you\u2019d better be ready to party once the sun goes down.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve gathered your supplies, you\u2019ll learn to cook a multi-course meal using regional techniques. Of course, you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor with your classmates.<\/p>\n

One of Bali\u2019s most awe-inspiring natural wonders is Mount Batur, an active volcano with an impressive 7-mile diameter caldera. The caldera contains fifteen traditional villages. If you\u2019re looking to trek the volcano and explore the caldera villages, it\u2019s best to hire a guide or go with a tour group. If you opt for an early morning tour, you can watch an amazing sunrise from Mount Batur\u2019s summit. We’re not sure it gets more romantic than that!<\/p>\n

Imagine seeing\u00a0an elephant in its beautiful natural habitat with the love of your life by your side. This dream can become a honeymoon reality in Bali! Take in the local flora and fauna and pose for pictures with your newfound elephant buddies. Some ethical hints to go by when choosing how you’d like to encounter an elephant: choose sanctuaries instead of rides, don’t pay to see a show involving elephants, don’t buy any paintings made by elephants. These are popular ways that people abuse elephants to make money off of well-intentioned, but misguided, tourists.<\/p>\n
