Does your dream wedding consist of sandy beaches, lush rainforests, hidden caves, dramatic clifftops, and everything in between?

While every country provides ample options in the form of luxurious hotels for wedding ceremonies, the charm of a travel-destination wedding on Indonesia’s tropical island of Bali is still unchallenged.

No, but seriously, we’ve heard of unusual wedding venues like getting married right in Taco Bell in Las Vegas (yep! If you don’t believe it, just Google it!) but when you’re in Bali my friend, things take an even hotter turn (so hot that you might only need a bikini!).

Because when in Bali… You can throw the best wedding parties in huge villas on top of a cliff or deep in the lush rainforests. But if you’re more of an oceanfront kind of person, there are many dreamy beachfront wedding villas with your very own private pool! Imagine that!

But come on, if wedding venues in Bali look this good, we don’t even want to mention the pre-wedding photoshoot and honeymoon locations. 😉

Without further ado – here are the most unique wedding venues in Bali where your wedding will be the talk of the town for many years to come!

1. A Rainforest Fairytale Wedding Dream Come True – Kaamala Resort Ubud

SPONSORED

Kaamala Resort Ubud is for the romantics.

The resort reflects Bali’s unique charms with two enchanting wedding venues for couples to choose from.

If you prefer a magical modern wedding embracing nature with luxurious rainforest views, you will love the Kaamala Infinity Pool. Imagine walking down a glass water aisle towards the love of your life, as you are greeted with the most serene view of Ubud’s rainforest – a dreamy start to a new chapter of your life.

The entire water aisle will be decked with flowers as you exchange your vows in a modern fairytale!

For couples who prefer a touch of the traditional, the iconic Kaamala Wedding Chapel is perfect for you. With a modern Balinese design, the chapel has a semi open-air concept, facing the luscious rainforest while surrounded by water.

Inside, the chapel is adorned with beautiful flowers and decorations, creating a celebratory yet intimate atmosphere. You will both stand against the rich and serene greeneries as you proclaim your love to each other.

You can customise your wedding package according to your needs, so whether you prefer an intimate ceremony of two or a larger party of up to 50 guests, the team at Kaamala Resort Ubud would be happy to assist. Their packages also include champagne, decorations, accommodation at the resort for the couple and even spa sessions!

You can even book the entire resort, which means yes – accommodations even for your guests! This package caters to up to 62 guests. It would be an exciting escape for your family and friends who are celebrating your special day with you!

The best part of this venue? It is centred close to the heart of Ubud, so restaurants, affordable spa and shops are readily accessible for you and your guests. The Monkey Forest is around 10 to 15 minutes’ walk from the resort, while Ubud Palace is just a 10-minute drive away.

And despite its proximity to central Ubud, you can be sure of the tranquility of the resort as it’s located off the main roads, making it an ideal location for your wedding.

Kaamala Resort Ubud truly checks all the boxes for a dreamy wedding – the perfect setting for a celebration you will remember for years to come.

2. Say Your Vows Atop an Oceanfront Cliff: Balangan Cliff

Your wedding can’t get more impressive and dramatic when it’s held at the top of a cliff overlooking spectacular views of the Indian Ocean. After all, it’s the stuff movies are made of! Blame it on its collection of absolutely amazing oceanfront cliffs – Bali wins it at taking your wedding to another level (literally).

Known as one of the most popular wedding venues and an almost-iconic sunset spot in Bali, Balangan offers a landscape with the perfect combination of white-sand beach and picturesque cliff.

Close your eyes and picture this: Warm salty ocean air flowing through the venue, fluttering the floral display, lace and chiffon train of your gown, accompanied by soft, romantic music playing in the background with the sounds of the crashing waves.

Now imagine all of your dearests gathered together and waiting for you to walk down the aisle in your gorgeous dress. Then picture yourself standing at the altar with your groom, with the rocky terrain below and the breathtaking sight of the ocean and horizon from afar. Ahhhh… besides all other emotions you could be feeling at that particular moment, you sure will take some time to realise that this is a feast for the senses!

Sounds sublime, isn’t it? But is it realistic? Definitely yes, and it is easier to achieve than you think, especially with an expert wedding planner!

3. Wed on an Infinity Pool Blending into the Ocean at The Sanctus Uluwatu

Looking to impress your guests? Look no further than the Sanctus Uluwatu Villa. Hold your wedding ceremony and after-party all in one stunning venue.

The Sanctus Uluwatu Villa is a luxurious wedding venue that offers a unique and unforgettable experience for couples who want to share their joy with friends and family.

The villa’s infinity pool creates the illusion of getting married on the ocean as the infinity pool seems to blend seamlessly into the ocean which makes the event even more magical.

The venue offers a range of wedding packages to suit different budgets and preferences. Couples can choose to have their ceremony in the garden or by the pool, with the stunning ocean providing the perfect backdrop for their special day.

Their infinity pool area is also perfect for wedding photoshoots with the dramatic ocean views and stunning sunset. With its beautiful gardens, luxurious accommodations, and breathtaking ocean views, it’s no wonder why this venue is a top choice for couples looking to tie the knot in Bali.

And it gets better – the villa has private access to the ever-so-popular Nyang Nyang beach. You can surf, sunbathe and even paragliding! So remember to pack your swimsuits and sunnies for the wedding too!

4. A Riverside Ceremony to Remember at The Mandapa, a Ritz Carlton Reserve

Located in the heart of Bali’s cultural and spiritual center of Ubud, The Mandapa is a luxurious jungle resort offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere for weddings.

One of the unique features of The Mandapa’s wedding offerings is its riverside weddings. Couples can exchange vows with the rushing Ayung River as their backdrop, surrounded by lush tropical greenery and the soothing sound of flowing water.

Each ceremony will also be graced with a soft Balinese ‘Rindik’ musical performance (a traditional Balinese percussion instrument made from bamboo), a welcoming music for the guests in a wedding ceremony.

If riverside weddings are not really your thing, the Mandapa’s rice paddy fields are a unique and unforgettable option as well. Surrounded by verdant green fields and this backdrop offers a true taste of Bali’s natural beauty.

You can also choose to hold your wedding at their villa or the temple lawn, depending on which landscape you prefer.

But regardless of the backdrop, we are sure this luxe property would be one of the best places to mark the beginning of your lifetime of love and happiness.

5. Celebrate Your Love in an Oceanfront Bamboo Chapel – The Apurva Chapel (The Apurva Kempinski Bali)

The Apurva Kempinski Bali’s Bamboo Chapel might just end your search for the perfect wedding venue in Bali.

This stunning chapel was inspired by the architecture of a traditional Sulawesi house, made from bamboo with high ceilings, and nestled by the ocean.

The chapel’s bamboo construction and open-air design allow the tropical breeze and natural light to flow through, while being surrounded by water, creating a serene and magical ambiance.

The Apurva Kempinski Bali also offers a range of wedding packages to help you plan your special day. From flowers and decorations to catering and entertainment, their team of experts will ensure that every detail is taken care of.

With its stunning bamboo construction, breathtaking views, and intimate atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to say “I do” and start your new life together.

6. Boho-chic Wedding with the Sounds of the Rainforest Falls: Nung Nung Waterfall

You never know where a bit of a wanderlust will take you. Located high in the mountains of Bali, Nung Nung Waterfall is rated as one of the best waterfalls on the island, and a day exploring might bring you face-to face with the unique wedding venue of your dreams.

Trouble is, it wasn’t actually a wedding venue at all but just a majestic tourist attraction. However, with the right wedding planner, even your wildest wedding wishes can turn into reality!

With absolutely no need for props, you get to enjoy a tumbling waterfall that provides a frothy, lacy white backdrop blending beautifully with the bride’s wedding gown.

The location, setting and atmosphere make it perfect for a boho-chic wedding, perfect for the tropical yogis of Bali, adventurers at heart and for soul searchers – be surrounded by nature while you say your vows.

You don’t even need a sound system when you get to exchange vows to the sights and sounds of rippling water, chirping birds and the jungle!

7. Regal Wedding at The Majestic Chapel by The Ritz Carlton Bali

Couples, if you are ocean lovers, look no further than The Ritz Carlton Bali’s elegant beachfront Majestic Chapel in Nusa Dua, where you’ll get to say “I do” with the gorgeous view of the Indian Ocean.

If you are into modern regal wedding vibes, this venue might just be the right fit. The grand entrance, towering white pillars, and intricate carvings all contribute to a sense of regal opulence. The interior is just as impressive, with high ceilings and exquisite lighting that will make you feel like a princess as you exchange your vows.

And why not have a beach wedding photoshoot after your ceremony too?

You can also arrange some pre-wedding pampering here – The Ritz Carlton Bali’s spa is just the place to relax and rejuvenate before your big day. And, with expert wedding planners on hand to help you create a bespoke celebration, you can be sure that your special day will be everything you’ve dreamed of and more.

8. Move over Bats, Time for the Bride and Groom: Cave Wedding at Samabe Bali Suites & Villas

What’s either romantic, mysterious, or filled with buried treasure? With a jagged-rock backdrop, a cave will create the most spectacular setting for your wedding!

Of course, we are not talking about just any cave where you have to rappel into, but instead, an easy-to-maneuver cave where you can enjoy a unique experience after being joined in marriage with toes in the sand.

With its raw natural rocky beauty and endless views of the ocean, the cave at Samabe Bali Suites & Villas is the magical grotto of your dreams.

Walk down to an untouched white-sand beach to exchange your vows before enjoying a romantic dinner in the candle-lit cave. This natural cavernous escape comes with splendid views of the sea.

9. Wed like a Celebrity at this Exclusive White Sand Beach: New Kuta Golf Course

It is almost guaranteed that when you hear “Wedding in Bali”, a beach wedding might immediately come to mind!

Yes indeed, Bali has that on offer and no one (including celebrities) can possibly resist the lure of a powdery white beach, turquoise ocean, sunny sky, and relaxed island vibe; these are exclusive features that might be hard to beat.

However, it can be quite a challenge to narrow down exactly where to hold your wedding as beaches in Bali can be packed to the brim with regular beach bums on the lookout for tan lines and hot surfers.

But off the grounds of the New Kuta Golf Course lies a hidden stretch of sand and this is exactly where you’ll get to exchange your vows in your beach style wedding dress, flat wedding shoes and in all privacy!

With the soothing sounds of the crashing waves in the background, this location is only calling for you to say “I do”. So, if this is tempting to you, you might want to bring it a notch higher and celebrate in style with their post-ceremony dinner on a private cliff; yet another dream spot!

Doesn’t ‘I do’ always sound better with toes in the sand and salt love in the air?

10. Tie the Knot in Chilly Mountainous Bali right by Beratan Lake

Hop onto a canoe to say “I do” in the middle of a lake!

We know that lakes are often overlooked in favour of the beach when it comes to wedding venues, but if you are looking for an unconventional ceremony on your very special day, you will love this winter wonderland.

Located high in the mountains with crystal clear water and exotic lush green gardens, this volcanic lake blesses you with a pleasant chilly temperature of 23°C (trust me, the last thing you want is to turn up to your wedding ceremony all sweaty with makeup dripping down your pretty face!).

This sensational lakeside wedding venue is for those who (just like us) can’t spend a day without the sights of nature and sounds of silence. It is an ideal location for those wishing to keep it simple and intimate (hello there introverts, we feel you!).

11. Let Your Love Bloom Atop a Lotus Pond: Four Seasons Resort Bali Sayan

There’s nowhere more alluring or exotic than to wed at this romantic retreat flanked by tropical gardens, jungles, forests and right beside the magnificent Ayung River bank in magical Ubud.

Dreaming of a traditional Balinese wedding? Or a contemporary ceremony? Or do you still have no clue? Whether it’s a lavish affair with all your friends and relatives or an intimate ceremony for two, your special big day will be effortlessly planned to perfection at Four Seasons Resort Bali Sayan.

What is a wedding in Bali if it doesn’t comprise of green rice paddies and lush jungle views? Probably not very Balinese!

At Four Seasons Resort Bali Sayan, you lovebirds get to exchange your special vows on the terrace of Rooftop Lotus Pond, surrounded by blooming lily pads and lotus flowers, making it the perfect pick for a wedding straight out of a movie scene.

12. Find Love Amidst Rice Paddy Fields: Desa Visesa Ubud

Beach person that I am, I feel like there is something even dreamier about having an authentic Balinese wedding in the rice paddies. I mean, the pictures speak for themselves. Now I want to get married!

The fact that the venue is situated in Ubud, the quieter and “zen” part of Bali, further adds to the authenticity of any special event. At Desa Visesa Ubud, you can get the whole shebang, seas of green and the most serene moments.

And though we’ve seen many unique wedding venues around Bali, it seems that none closely resembles the true authentic Balinese experience of saying “I do” in a place where nature takes the centre stage.

Being culturally inspired and honouring past traditions, you will be thrilled to see how the location maintains its architecture with much respect paid to the indigenous culture of Bali.

Besides the grandeur of the rice paddy fields that might steal the show, your guests are sure to return home with memories of the essence of a traditional Balinese village and having satisfied their curiosity about daily life on the island.

13. An Almost-Amazonian Rainforest Wedding: Plataran Canggu

Gone are the days of perfect white wedding gowns, cakes, well-thought-out decor, limousines, and guests in great outfits. You can now have your fairytale wedding in a Tinker Bell ambience right in the middle of the jungle – one that could transport you and your guests to an unforgettable, magical world amidst nature!

If you are on the fence about having an outdoor ceremony, build your unique fascinating tale and let the lion in him get married to the beautiful lioness in you. It’s about to get wild!

We know it can be hard to picture a perfect Tarzan-and-Jane scene without mosquitoes, muddy paths and humid weathers, but rest assured that your tropical jungle wedding here doesn’t totally mean you’ll have to rough it out; you sure will have your pick of gorgeous scenery and much more.

This venue doesn’t only come with fresh air but also a Balinese gazebo, a jungle river, blue water pond, lush vegetation and tall trees! Imagine exchanging your vows among the chirping birds, the wind blowing through the trees and soothing sounds of the flowing waterfall…

Ready to switch from the traditional indoor ceremony to a whimsical woodland wedding? This location sure has the scenic backdrop thing covered!

14. Unite with Blessings of the Indian Ocean: Pearl Chapel

Imagine saying “I do” in a whitewashed full transparent glass chapel that overlooks a  breathtaking 180-degree view of the ocean; no you don’t have to wake up from a dream as this can be your wedding reality!

Located at Samabe Bali Suites & Villas, Pearl Chapel is a one-of-a-kind fairytale that wedding dreams are made of. As many as 80 of your friends and family members can join you in the romantic space that they’ll be talking about for the rest of their lives!

Beyond the convenience of getting married at a site that has everything — a chapel, rooms for getting ready, food and beverage services, and accommodation for all your guests — Samabe Bali Suites & Villas also fuses the art of hospitality with special event planning and delivering romance in an all-in-one package.

Plus, the ocean views that count as a little complimentary bonus!

15. Set Sail on the Ocean while Exchanging Vows: Yacht Wedding

Is your love as endless as the grand horizon? Do you fancy the Indian Ocean as your ultimate wedding backdrop? Come on board for a nautical wedding of a lifetime!

While you can choose to either hold your ceremony on board the yacht or on a nearby beach, this unique mobile venue will take you from mainland Bali to Nusa Lembongan (and back) to celebrate in style!

Every wedding ceremony is concluded with a cruise to the nearby exotic islands, where you and your guests get to snorkel in a spectacular underwater world.

For the perfect celebration ending, you also get to enjoy a romantic dinner as you watch the sun set below the horizon on the way back to Bali.

While this sounds a lot like the most lavish weddings in history, you can choose to make it intimate too, but seriously who doesn’t party to a loud “ ♫ Ceeelebrate good times, come on! ♫” on their wedding day when its held right in the middle of the sea and sure to bother no one!?

16. Celebrate Peace and Love: White Dove Chapel at Umana Bali

If you’re more of a traditional bride, saying your vows in a chapel will be sacred for you.

Perched right on a cliff edge in Bali, the Umana Bali’s very own White Dove Chapel – a stunning venue that provides magnificent views of the grand blue horizon and one where the simplest touches from your wedding theme will be enough to turn it to a ceremony your guests will remember.

To give you a brief idea, guests and the bridal party arrive by way of a white walkway that seems to hover just above the surrounding pools.

A long aisle leads to an exquisite altar where natural light pours in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside, the sides of the chapel are adorned with white doves effortlessly resting and waiting to bless you with their secret love potion!

While the defining feature of the venue is its splendid location, you will be surprised at the simple wedding package that comes with a two-night stay at their ocean view villa for the bride and groom, inclusive of daily buffet breakfast (careful, do ensure you still fit in your wedding dress!).

Wondering about the secret love potion? Well, doves represent romance and love. Doves also represent monogamy and loyalty in relationships because they tend to stay with the same partner during mating season, so let them sprinkle their magic dust all over your married life!

17. Have a traditional Balinese wedding fit for a prince and princess: Singapadu Temple

No, it has nothing to do with Prince William or Prince Harry. Come on, you’ve got your own prince now and a spectacular way to steal his last name is to present yourself at your wedding dressed in a traditional Balinese goddess costume (yes it is royal-approved!).

But it isn’t only because you get to dress like a goddess and get married in a mystical Hindu temple that this experience is so-called “exotic”.

In fact, for the local brides and grooms, the wedding is more than just the union with their spouse — it is as important a life event as it is a spiritual milestone and this is a value you might well feel when local villagers will shower you with gifts and tropical flowers throughout your traditional ceremony.

There is a saying in Balinese culture which translates to “You are not only marrying the bride, but you are marrying the family as well”, and so to truly immerse in the traditions you also benefit from special inclusions such as a traditional orchestra, Balinese performances and of course a dinner served in traditional style.

In between myths and legends, there is something that binds these customs from near and far – and that is love.

Have we inspired you with these unique wedding destinations in Bali?
