One of our faves is the Glass Chapel at Tirtha Uluwatu – a breathtaking ceremony venue with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean. This truly ethereal setting is designed to host weddings that provide a sense of magic, not to mention the flexibility to suit your guest list or preferred style. Say your “I dos” in the glittering surroundings, before making your way to the two-storey Dining Pavilion for a fancy dinner or cocktail soiree, complete with both indoor and outdoor areas. Whichever venue you choose, any wedding here is set to be a stunner.

3. Banana Lounge Bali
For a boutique and oh-so tropical wedding, you’ll want to say your intimate “I dos” at Banana Lounge Bali. This warm and welcoming venue feels more like a luxury villa, with a glittering pool as the centrepiece, lush greenery all around, and ocean views from the rooftop cocktail cabana. And yes, there’s even six bamboo abodes just footsteps away at the adjoining Jellyfish Villas, meaning you can book out the entire venue and host your closest friends and family in utmost exclusivity. But back to those I dos. You’ll be walking down the aisle beneath blossoming bougainvillea and banana trees, while the bright green lawn, breezy cabanas and white-stone restaurant offer countless options for cocktails and canapés, an al-fresco banquet dinner of modern Asian and European cuisine, and of course, that all-important starlit dance-floor.

4. The Cliff-Front Villas at The Ungasan
With not one, but five spectacular cliff-front villas to choose from (plus the manicured Selatan Lawn, and Sundays Beach Club for the afterparty!), a wedding at The Ungasan is nothing short of a six-star celebration. And the best bit is, each villa has its own design and aesthetic, meaning you can choose the one that best suits your Big Day. We love the bougainvillea pathway at Villa Pawana, and the white colonial charm of Villa Tamarama. Whichever luxurious villa you choose, each one comes with more than 2500 square-metres of space, with an infinity pool, butler services, indoor-outdoor dining areas and five breathtaking bedrooms. So much so, you can host both the ceremony and reception in the villa, be it an intimate or larger wedding.

9. The Forest Pool & Garden Rooftop at Bisma Eight
Lush green ravines, enchanting forest surrounds and mystical views of Bali’s nearby volcanoes – Bisma Eight feels less like a boutique resort in the heart of Ubud’s cultural centre, and more like a remote jungle hideout in a faraway land. This tranquil destination promises magical “I Do” moments, with not one but two dazzling wedding venues. The Forest Pool is one of our faves, with a floating aisle and jungle setting that’s straight out of a fairytale.

Aptly named, the chapel is as breathtaking as its backdrop, which is the endless sparkling ocean that’s visible through floor-to-ceiling glass walls. And if a chapel venue isn’t for you? Fret not brides-to-be, because the resort’s expansive lawns and pristine beachfront are available to book for a dreamy outdoor wedding too. And the kicker?
