3. Banana Lounge Bali

For a boutique and oh-so tropical wedding, you’ll want to say your “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 gardens all around, and ocean views from the rooftop cabana. 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, while the bright green lawn, breezy cabanas and white-stone restaurant offer countless options for cocktails, canapés, an al-fresco banquet dinner, and of course, that all-important starlit dance-floor.

Each villa has its own design and aesthetic, meaning you can choose the one that best suits your Big Day.

So much so, you can host both the ceremony and reception in the villa, be it an intimate or larger wedding.
