The Ultimate Indonesian Honeymoon

An archipelago of paradisial beaches and breathtaking views, Indonesia is the dream destination for newlyweds. Whether you fancy swimming in crystalline waters amongst kaleidoscopic coral, hiking to ancient temples and dormant volcanoes, or relaxing in sybaritic spas and lying on a sun-drenched lounger with a spicy margarita, our curated honeymoon guide will ensure a blissful week with your other half.

For the cultured couples

If you enjoy getting your teeth into the history of the country, then the 11th-century Gunung Kawi Temple on the Pakerisan River will be right up your alley. Ensconced by rice paddies and ancient shrines, the temple is set in relief within the hills and cliff walls. Alternatively, the Buddhist Borobudur Temple on Java is a UNESCO Heritage site, built in the 8th century from more than two million stone blocks. We recommend visiting at dawn to catch the breathtaking sunrise. If you’re looking for some unique postnuptial jewellery, then John Hardy’s Showroom, a boutique in Bali, crafts bespoke pieces from recycled gold and conflict-free diamonds.

For the wellness couples

For wellness couples seeking the ultimate restorative escape, begin your journey with a few transformative days at COMO Shambhala Estate in Bali. This flagship retreat offers multi-night wellness programmes tailored to your needs, blending expert-led movement classes, hydrotherapy in a mineral-rich vitality pool, and holistic therapies such as Ayurveda and Chinese medicine - all set in a tranquil jungle enclave above a sacred river.

Next, travel to Sumba for the renowned Spa Safari at NIHI Sumba. Your adventure starts with a scenic trek, horseback ride, or open-air safari vehicle journey along the dramatic west coast to Nihioka Valley. Upon arrival, unwind with a fresh coconut and a healthy breakfast or lunch in a treehouse overlooking a private cove. Spend the day in your own private bale, enjoying unlimited spa treatments - massages, wraps, organic facials, and more - using local ingredients, all at your own pace. Between treatments, relax on wild beaches, explore palm forests, or float in the infinity pool before returning to the resort as the sun sets, having experienced both adventure and deep serenity.
