Bali is one of the most popular destination wedding locations in the world - and it’s not hard to understand why. So many couples are looking for a unique experience when they plan a destination wedding. They want somewhere special to celebrate and travel to - Bali is the perfect exotic destination for just that experience! Bali is known as the “Island of the Gods” and it’s not a nickname to take lightly. This magical island is full of some of the most beautiful landscapes you’ll ever see, delicious foods, incredible resorts, and is a dream-come-true location for elopements. Ready to be convinced? Grab your passport and prepare to jump on a plane today!

Here’s my top 5 reasons to elope in Bali:

1. Luxury Experience for an Affordable Price

When you’re planning a destination elopement, the cost matters. You want to choose a location that’s beautiful and exciting, but also somewhere that your loved ones can afford to travel and be with you on your big day. Believe it or not, traveling to Bali, Indonesia is cheaper than traveling to Hawaii! It’s possible to find hotels for $50-$75/night. Some of the experiences, like a massage, can cost as little as $15/hour. You’re still getting all of those incredible experiences, views, and memories… without breaking the bank!

2. There’s always something to do in Bali.

No matter what you’re interested in, Bali has something for you. Being an island means that it’s a paradise for beach lovers - but Bali is also known for its incredible food and outdoor activities. There’s plenty of ways to explore the island - from kayaking, to hiking, and surfing. Whether you’re planning on traveling with your adventure lovers or people who want to kick back and relax, you’ll be able to find lots of ways to entertain them all!

3. The landscape is incredible for elopement portraits!

With waterfalls, rice paddies, volcanos, and beaches, everywhere you look, Bali is truly an island paradise. These incredible backdrops mean that your wedding portraits will be one-of-a-kind. And I haven’t even mentioned their gorgeous sunsets! Bali is known for it’s unreal sunsets - they’re the best in the world. Venues like Alila Villas Uluwatu and Uluwatu Surf Villas provide incredible views of the water and sunset - meaning your elopement can be right there in front of one of the most magical views anywhere. Creating once in a lifetime portraits with these amazing backdrops is definitely a perk of getting married in Bali!

4. Vendors are easy to book.

Since Bali is a dream destination for so many couples, finding the perfect wedding vendors is a breeze! Tourism and weddings have been on the rise in the last few years for Bali and the result is many incredible vendors available to bring your dream wedding day to life! These vendors know that you’re planning a wedding from afar and are ready to rise to the occasion, helping you find the perfect venue and vendors for your big day. They take care of it all so you don't have to worry about a thing - except enjoying your incredible elopement! Many of the local villas and hotels are well-equipped to handle weddings of all sizes, so it really is an easy way to plan your intimate dream elopement.

5. Kickstart your Bali honeymoon!

One of the BEST parts of any destination elopement is that you can start your honeymoon right away in a dream location! After your celebrations are over, consider visiting a new location in Bali - maybe the jungle if you were married on the beach - and enjoy more of what this incredible location has to offer. There’s so many romantic activities, like hiking, beach picnics, and spas so you’ll be totally relaxed as soon as your elopement activities are done! Bali also has a super rich history and there’s lots to explore and learn.

Bali is truly a bucket list location for so many couples. Planning a romantic and intimate wedding day here is easy - and you’ll be able to spend your time exploring a gorgeous new location with your loved ones. Bali is jam packed with beautiful views, incredible history, and nothing but gorgeous places to explore year round. It’s the perfect spot for a new adventure and your new chapter to begin!

ANNA CLAIRE

I am most passionate about travel, meeting new people, and storytelling. Which is exactly why I created Thin Spaces Productions to combine all of my loves into one mission. After graduating college, I moved to South East Asia to be a travel photographer. It wasn’t long until I started shooting elopements.

South East Asia has completely captured my heart, which is why I love helping couples plan their elopement in Bali. I have found that Bali is one of the most beautiful places on earth which also unlocks your inner child. It has become a little piece of my heart that I cannot wait to share with you.
