When my cousin from Delhi planned her honeymoon in Bali, she nearly gave up after seeing the package prices online. Most agents were quoting ₹2–3 lakh and she thought, “Okay, maybe Bali is only for rich couples.”
But here’s the truth: Bali doesn’t have to drain your savings. With a little local know-how (and me playing honeymoon planner 😅), she and her husband had the most romantic 7-day trip — private pool villas, waterfall adventures, beach club dinners — all under ₹1 lakh, flights included.
If you’re also dreaming of Bali without burning a hole in your pocket, here’s the same plan I gave them.
✈️ Day 1: Touchdown & First Sunset Dinner
Landing in Bali feels like stepping straight into a postcard — warm air, palm trees, and the sound of scooters everywhere. Once you check into your villa (Seminyak is a great first stop), take it slow.
💡 What we did: booked a simple airport pickup (~₹800) and went straight to a beach club for dinner. Imagine sipping cocktails while the sky turns pink — the perfect start to your honeymoon.
🌿 Day 2: Ubud + A Couple’s Spa
Next morning, we headed to Ubud, Bali’s cultural heart. The rice terraces here look unreal, and yes, the Monkey Forest is worth a quick stroll.
But the highlight? A 2-hour couple’s spa with a flower bath. My cousin literally said, “This is better than half the resorts we were considering.” And it only cost ₹2,500–₹4,000.
End the night with a cozy dinner at a Ubud café — romantic, but budget-friendly.
💦 Day 3: Chasing Waterfalls
Bali is full of hidden gems, and Ubud is the best base to explore them. We did Tegenungan Waterfall, a jungle swing, and ended the day with street food at the night market.
Tip: Hire a driver (~₹3,000) for the whole day. You’ll save time and energy, and you’ll get those little local tips no guidebook shares.
🏝️ Day 4: The Big Adventure — Nusa Penida
This day was the showstopper. We caught an early boat to Nusa Penida and explored Kelingking Beach (the famous T-Rex cliff), Crystal Bay, and a couple of snorkeling spots.
The whole day trip cost about ₹6,000–₹7,000 for two — and honestly, the photos alone were priceless. My cousin said this was the “wow” moment of their trip.
🥞 Day 5: Floating Breakfast & Chill Mode
Time to slow down. Start the morning with that Instagram-famous floating breakfast in your villa pool follows your romantic Bali itinerary. It’s cheesy, yes — but worth it for the photos (₹1,500–₹2,000).
Spend the rest of the day wandering Seminyak cafés, shopping for souvenirs, or just lazing by the beach. We wrapped up with sunset cocktails at a rooftop bar.
🌅 Day 6: Canggu Vibes & Tanah Lot Temple
By now, you’ll want a mix of fun + culture. Canggu is full of trendy cafés, smoothie bowls, and beach clubs. After a lazy morning there, we drove to Tanah Lot Temple for one of Bali’s most magical sunsets.
Dinner nearby was ~₹2,500, and it felt like the perfect “last big night out.”
🎁 Day 7: A Sweet Goodbye
On the final day, we did a little shopping — handmade jewelry, batik fabrics, coffee beans — before catching the flight back home. Airport transfer with Grab was just ₹800, so no stress there.
💰 Budget Recap: Romantic Bali Itinerary
- ✈️ Flights (Delhi/Mumbai): ~₹40,000
- 🛏️ Stay (7 nights in villas + boutique hotels): ~₹28,000
- 🚗 Transport (drivers + scooters): ~₹8,000
- 🍜 Food & drinks: ~₹12,000
- 🎉 Activities & spa: ~₹15,000
✅ Total = ~₹1,03,000
(And honestly, if you trim 1–2 splurges, it’s easy to stay under ₹1 lakh).
Final Word 🌺
Here’s the thing — Bali honeymoons look expensive because agencies bundle in luxury hotels and overpriced transfers. But if you book flights smartly, stay at boutique villas, and mix in local experiences, you’ll have the same dreamy sunsets, spa days, and flower baths… without crossing ₹1 lakh.
This exact 7-day plan worked perfectly for my cousin, and I’ve shared it with friends ever since. If you’d like, I can also put together a ready-made contact list (villas + drivers + tours) in my next post. Just drop me a comment if you’d want that.
