Best Clifftop Wedding Locations in Bali

cliff wedding in bali

Lovers worldwide choose Bali as their destination wedding due to the endless choice of beautiful wedding venues available on the island. No other place in the world offers the same amount of breathtaking venues to make your big day even more memorable. Bali’s wedding venues are scattered in its tropical gardens, white sandy beaches, vast rice fields and so much more.

Among all the gorgeous wedding venues in Bali, the ones that surely will take your breath away are the clifftop villas. Jaw-dropping, spectacular and awe-inspiring are some of the few words to describe the wedding experience you’ll receive from the island’s clifftops.

So, where can you find the best clifftop wedding venues in Bali?

Bali’s popular clifftop venues are perched on the Southern tip of the island known as the Bukit region. So why aren’t these clifftop villas and venues found anywhere else? The answer is simply because there isn’t any other area with spectacular cliffs overlooking the ocean.

The coastal regions in other areas of Bali mostly consist of flat beaches.

Having your wedding in the cliffs of the Bukit area means that it is close to Nusa Dua, which offers plenty of selections of hotels and resorts not far from your wedding location. It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Nusa Dua to the Bukit area, making it a convenient location for your guests.
