Grand Hyatt Bali
With the longest stretch of golden coastline in all of Nusa Dua, Grand Hyatt Bali is a five-star celebration waiting to happen. The Indian Ocean forms a breathtaking natural backdrop for beachfront ceremonies, while lush gardens, lotus ponds, and swaying palms offer equally stunning settings for those who prefer shade and seclusion. The resort’s grand outdoor venue spans more than 14,000 square feet and can welcome up to 1,500 guests, making it one of the most impressive beachside event spaces on the island.

The Royal Santrian Luxury Beach Villas
Few places in Bali feel as quietly, completely yours as The Royal Santrian — an exclusive collection of just 20 private pool villas with direct access to a tranquil stretch of Nusa Dua beachfront. The Royal Ulu Shanti chapel is genuinely special: a striking glass and stone structure set at the ocean’s edge, reflected in a still pool, with an immaculate lawn stretching out before it and the sea beyond. Couples may also choose from four additional ceremony spaces, including the Azure Beach Terrace for barefoot vows beside the waves, and The Royal Infinity — a floating deck ceremony above the resort’s infinity pool.
Sanur: Coastal serenity
Tucked away from the crowds on the island’s east coast, Sanur is perfect for those dreaming of a relaxed seaside celebration.

East Bali: Off the beaten track
For couples who want a Bali wedding that feels worlds away from the tourist trail, the island’s east coast is a revelation — quieter, greener, and more spiritual, with the sacred Mount Agung rising behind and the calm sea stretching endlessly before you. East Bali is around 90 minutes from the airport, but for those who discover its magic, that distance feels like the whole point.
