Wedding planning can take a lot of energy and time, and even the big day can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. But now that you've officially tied the knot, what do you think about some romantic time with your partner?

Bali, Indonesia, is easily one of the best honeymoon destinations thanks to its pristine beaches, captivating sceneries, and relaxing vibe. The island welcomes tons of tourists each year looking to reset and recharge, but for honeymooners, Bali's natural beauty will be the ultimate backdrop to your first few days as a married couple—what better place to celebrate, right? With so many honeymoon destinations on the island, we've rounded up the ultimate Bali honeymoon guide to help you decide.

Here are 10 of the most romantic resorts for your Bali honeymoon to treat yourself and your partner:

Wanna give your partner only the best that they deserve? Then the Four Seasons Resort Bali in Sayan is the destination for your honeymoon in Bali. Given the title of the No. 1 Hotel in the World by Travel + Leisure (2018), you'll find this luxury resort to be a top-of-the-line paradise. The island is nestled deep within the jungle of the Ayung River Valley. Although it's secluded to give couples their privacy, it's only 10 minutes away from the city center of Ubud.

Honeymooners will enjoy having their own private pools with an outdoor lounge deck, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light beautifully reflects on the water. Aside from relishing the resort's relaxing vibes, you can book a floating breakfast, arrange a riverside picnic by the Ayung River, or schedule a private guided tour of Balinese temples. You can also further immerse yourself in Balinese culture by participating in the chakra-balancing ceremony at the Sacred River Spa or their Tri Hita Karana program, which includes a meditation session, a temple tour, a Balinese cooking class, and a rejuvenating spa treatment.

This luxury hotel will make you never wanna leave. As a five-star hotel with its own beachfront, Alila Seminyak offers guests a deluxe experience. Each room or suite comes with a private balcony or terrace, with options for ocean view or beach view. They also have five pools, a well-equipped gym, a beach bar, a temple garden, and its resort temple.

What's a resort getaway without a trip to the spa? Spa Alila will be your fave spot in the resort, with massages, facials, body scrubs, and Shirodhara treatments all at your fingertips! For a full-body experience, we recommend their Mineral Ritual package, which includes a massage, a Vichy shower, a microbubble bath, a volcanic clay facial, and a 2-course healthy lunch at Seasalt. Cap off your day with a romantic twilight dinner on the beach or a chill night by the beach bar. The resort also hosts a yummy Barbie by the beach for dinner! But if you prefer to try something new, Alila Seminyak has a prime spot near the prestigious dining and shopping districts that have cafes, beach clubs, and bars all in one place.

Fun Fact: This Seminyak beach resort has a green thumb! The resort follows the EarthCheck benchmarking and certification program as part of its commitment to minimizing its environmental impact.

W Bali Seminyak is for couples who like to relax when the sun is out and party once it sets. This romantic escape has a beachside location with its hotel and beach club on Bali's most popular beach. Bop the night away with your favorite dance partner at their outdoor parties hosted by international DJs.

The best thing about partying on holiday? You can spend the rest of the next day lounging around! Recharge during the day at their one-bedroom pool villa, which comes with its own sundeck, sun lounges, and private plunge pool. For an extra boost, you can arrange a couple's treatment at AWAY Spa—a gesture that your partner will appreciate. You can even book a private romantic dinner just for you and your partner to make the trip even more special.

There's so much to do in Seminyak. Here's our guide to the best spas in Seminyak:

With a breathtaking view, you'd wanna pair it with an equally amazing meal. Try the Chef's Table dining experience at the resort's Rocka Edge for a world-class gourmet farm-to-table meal. Plus, you'll be able to see the chef create the stunning dishes in front of you!
