From the Mountains to the Sea in Bali with Alilia Ubud and Alila Manggis

Modern Wedding Posted: September 29, 2015

AKI_3404

Bali has long been a favourite holiday destination for Australians because of it’s proximity and of course, it’s stunning tropical beauty! More and more brides and grooms are flocking to Bali for their honeymoon and even for a destination wedding. Bali is among one of the many islands in the Indonesian archipelago surrounded by crystalline waters and filled with flourishing rainforests. What sets it apart is the established tourism industry which makes it a breeze for couples planning their dream destination wedding or honeymoon.

Couples are spoilt for choice when it comes to looking for resorts in Bali, but when it comes to hidden sanctuaries, the award winning Alila Ubud and Alila Manggis are hard to go past. Both make the most of their relatively untouched surroundings to create serene pockets of resort magic for their guests to enjoy. Modern Wedding gets all the must know info for couples planning their dream Balinese escape! 

MW: Where are Alila Ubud and Alila Manggis located?

Alila Ubud is located in the traditional hill village of Payangan and on the banks of the mystical Ayung River, just five kilometres from Bali’s artistic centre of Ubud, the place where artists, painters, writers and musicians from around the world have long found their inspiration. Alila Manggis is located on the tranquil Buitan Beach within the regency of Karangasem, close to the town of Candidasa – the perfect base from which to explore the unspoilt East Bali. This area of the island is renowned for its spectacular beauty where the steep rise from coast to mountain creates magical scenery.
