We recommend you to stay within the Bukit Peninsula / Uluwatu at least for the day of the wedding. Bali is quite big and may have quite some traffic jams, due to its small roads and many tourists visiting.

Located on the southern part of Bali, the Bukit Peninsula / Uluwatu is known for world-class surfing, dramatic limestone cliffs, stunning beaches, and the iconic Uluwatu Temple.

In terms of accommodation, we recommend booking a villa on Airbnb, Agoda, Booking.com. There are villas for every budget, starting from $50 or so. Villas provide more space, flexibility and usually a swimming pool. Most of the best-value villas tend to be located around the centre of the Bukit Peninsula, which is around 15 min to the wedding venue by taxi.

There are also lots of hotels available for every budget.

Other options a little bit further from the venue would be Jimbaran beach (20-25 min drive) and Nusa Dua (big resorts on the beach, more family-friendly, around 40 min drive).

Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need any help or tips on where to stay.

You should download the local ride hailing apps in order to order a car or scooter with a driver. Most rides cost just a few dollars.

- Grab

- Gojek

You can also rent a car with a driver from your hotel ($30 - 60/day typically), especially if you want to do a lot of sightseeing and drive longer distances.

Another good option is to rent a scooter from your hotel or a scooter shop and ride around by yourself ($4 - 13/day). This is a good option but better avoid riding a scooter by yourself for the wedding night.

Keep in mind that outside of Bali and Jakarta, travelling in Indonesia tends to be more catered to domestic tourists, so less organized and comfortable for international standards.

August is Bali’s dry season, with warm, sunny days (27-30°C / 81-86°F) and low humidity—perfect for beach days and exploring. Pack light, breathable clothing, swimsuits, sandals, and sunglasses. Evenings can be slightly cooler, especially in Uluwatu, so a light jacket or shawl may come in handy.
