Ever since the first sailors set foot on the silvery shores of Bali, the "island of the gods" has held a magnetic charm for world-weary Westerners. With its breathtaking natural beauty, its fascinating cultural heritage, and its graceful, friendly people, Bali has become justifiably famous as a "paradise island," providing the ultimate in carefree tropical pleasures. Nowhere else on earth will you find such a warm welcome and such a perfect atmosphere in which to celebrate your love.

Bali is exquisitely romantic, with the perfumes of tropical flowers, the shimmering sounds of exotic music and the sights of the lush green landscape weaving a tapestry of sensuous splendor around you. And in Bali, you can choose from an amazing variety of accommodations in which to relax and play, perfectly suited to your own tastes and budget. Dreaming of an endless summer holiday, with the waves beckoning right outside your door? Bali boasts some of the best beach resorts anywhere in the world. Looking for the ultimate in intimacy, with that special exotic touch? Bali’s boutique hotels offer uniquely designed settings for you to start your new life together in comfort and style. In the mood for an adventure exploring the cultural and artistic richness of a centuries old Hindu civilization? Bali offers secluded rural hideaways where you can enjoy the laid-back pace of authentic village life.

When you’re ready to leave the luxury of your hotel and have some fun, Bali offers an almost overwhelming array of choices. In the mood for some athletic action? Bali’s got it all. Water sports are the island’s specialty, from the serene sense of oneness with waves and wind experienced from the deck of a sailboat or fully-equipped cruise ship to the adrenaline rush of Bali’s world famous surfing spots. Looking to match your wits against the water? Try windsurfing, water skiing, ocean kayaking, or even white water rafting, which offers a thrilling ride down Bali’s rushing rivers through gorgeous jungle scenery. And if you want to explore even deeper under the waves, snorkeling and scuba diving offer a close up view of Bali’s beautiful coral reefs and colorful marine life. Of course, if you just want to enjoy the sight of a technicolor sunset sinking down over the sandy shores of the Indian Ocean, Bali has some of the most beautiful beaches anywhere – perfect places to enjoy an intimate moment.

After you’ve dried off, you can continue the fun with an assortment of outdoor activities. For a truly romantic experience, take a horseback ride along the beach – or for something more exotic, Bali even offers elephant and camel riding! Bicycling through the stunning scenery of the Balinese countryside is a leisurely way to take in the sights, or if you’re feeling less athletic, a land cruise can take you into the jungles and isolated villages of the island’s interior to see some of Bali’s wilder side. For the truly daring, Bali even offers bungee jumping – a fifty meter drop while tied to a giant rubber band -- and sky surfing, an unforgettable experience where two people are strapped into harnesses and lifted aloft for a thrilling tandem glide high in the blue skies. And no visit to Bali is complete without witnessing some of the grace and glory that is Balinese art and performance. From exquisite dances to ancient dramas, from exotic music to colorful arts and crafts, honeymooners are sure to find inspiration in the beauty and passion of Balinese culture.

Guidelines for the Culturally Sensitive Guest
The Balinese people are very open to sharing their unique cultural heritage and the spiritual wisdom they have nurtured over centuries. Visitors to Bali will be warmly welcomed to most temples and ceremonies. There are, however, certain codes of conduct that Westerners should follow to offer respect for the Balinese and their culture.

  • When attending a temple ceremony, remember that it is not a party but a celebration to welcome the gods down to earth. Balinese always, no matter how many hardships they may face in their material life, put on their finest traditional clothing or pakaian adat as a gesture of respect to both the worldly hosts of the event and the divine guests. Women wear a kamben, a long length of cloth wrapped from waist to ankles, a lacy blouse called a kebaya, and a sash tied around the waist. They will often tie up their hair in elaborate styles, and decorate it with fresh tropical flowers.
    If they own a piece of precious gold jewelry, they will wear it, and they will paint their faces with makeup and lipstick, for the Balinese gods delight in beauty. Men as well will be sure to dress respectfully, in a sarong, nice shirt or ceremonial jacket, a sash around the waist and an elaborately folded udeng headdress. The Balinese are thrilled to see Westerners wearing this ceremonial dress, and highly appreciative of the respect it shows. They understand, of course, that Western customs differ, so if you don’t want to go all out, don’t worry. But if you do want to share the experience, ask a Balinese friend or someone in your hotel to help you find the clothing and show you how to wear it.
  • At minimum, wear a sarong and a sash to attend a ceremony or enter a temple. At most temples, they can be rented for a small donation. You can even wrap the sarong over your shorts or dress, if you must.
  • Never position yourself higher than the offerings or the priest, or climb temple walls or statues to get a better photo angle. Strange things sometimes happen to people who offend the gods and the demons who linger around Bali’s shrines, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
  • Do not walk in front of people praying.
  • Be sensitive with your camera and flash, and respect the religious nature of the occasion.
  • Women who are menstruating are not allowed to enter temples. This is not necessarily a sign of gender discrimination, but a general prohibition against blood on holy ground.
  • If you are invited to a ceremony in someone’s home, such as a wedding or baby ceremony, it is appropriate to bring a small, wrapped gift. A card is not necessary.
  • Like in many other parts of the world, the left hand is considered unclean, and to eat with it, point with it, shake hands with it or offer or receive something with it is perceived as extremely rude.
  • Shorts and sleeveless tops are fine for the beach, but when visiting cultural sights or small villages they may be seen as offensive.
  • Feet are considered impure and the head is considered to be the most sacred part of the body. Don’t point with your feet or prop them up on tables, and don’t pat people, even small children, on the head.
  • Ask questions, share experiences and opinions, and you will be sure to learn and enjoy!
