Our Bali honeymoon itinerary began on October 18, 2014, just after our wedding. We had six days and five nights to enjoy Bali, and we divided the stay between two very different places: two nights at O-CE-N Bali by Outrigger and three nights at Mulia Villas.

Looking back, that split gave us two kinds of honeymoon in one trip. The first half was active and full of planned outings. The second half was quiet, private, and almost entirely devoted to doing nothing. This first story is about those opening two nights—the busy, cheerful beginning before we slowed everything down.
A Five-Night Bali Honeymoon After Our Wedding
We left for Bali as newlyweds, still carrying the excitement and exhaustion of the wedding. The trip was arranged as a honeymoon package, so the first two days came with a fairly full schedule. We visited different places, spent time around the beach, ate well, and tried to take in as much of Bali as possible.
At the same time, we had one clear goal: we wanted to rest. I remember getting a massage almost every day. That simple routine became one of the best parts of the trip. No matter how much we walked or how full the day felt, there was always a moment when we could finally relax.
Our First Two Nights at O-CE-N Bali by Outrigger
For the first two nights, we stayed at O-CE-N Bali by Outrigger, a beachfront property around the Legian and Seminyak area. The hotel had a bright, modern resort atmosphere, with white buildings, open terraces, and pools running through the complex.
One useful note for anyone searching for the hotel today: O-CE-N Bali was the name we knew in October 2014. The property was rebranded later that year as FuramaXclusive Ocean Beach. The change was announced by Furama Hotels International, so older travel photos and reviews may appear under the former name.
Because this part of the honeymoon was tied to the package schedule, the hotel was more of a comfortable base than the center of the trip. We went out, came back tired, and then started again the next day. It was busy, but it suited the excitement of our first days as a married couple.
Package Sightseeing and Beach Time
I no longer remember every stop in exact order, but I remember the feeling clearly: warm air, bright beaches, sunglasses in almost every photo, and the sense that we were finally away from all the wedding preparations.
The package kept us moving, while the beach gave us small pockets of freedom. We took casual photos, walked on the sand, and left a little honeymoon message beside our footprints. Those unplanned moments are what I remember most now—not a checklist of attractions, but the quiet realization that the wedding was over and our life together had really begun.
An Unforgettable Sunset Dinner by the Sea
One evening, we had a seafood dinner right on the beach as the sun went down. The tables were set directly on the sand, and the sky gradually turned gold behind us. Plates of grilled seafood filled the table while people gathered at the shoreline to watch the sunset.
It was not a formal fine-dining experience, and that was exactly why it felt special. We were tired, a little sunburned, and completely happy. Even now, the warm light in those photos brings back the atmosphere of that evening more vividly than any itinerary could.
Daily Massages Became Our Honeymoon Ritual
I think we booked a massage every day—or at least often enough that it feels like a daily ritual in my memory. For a honeymoon built around recovering from a wedding, it was one of our best decisions.
- The first two days were active, so the massages helped us reset.
- They gave us a quiet hour together between scheduled activities.
- They also prepared us for the slower, resort-focused second half of the trip.
What Our Bali Honeymoon Cost in 2014
Based on memory, the entire five-night trip cost about KRW 5.6 million for two people. We remember the individual amount as roughly KRW 2.6–2.8 million per person. That included the honeymoon package, hotels, and much of what we did during the trip, although the exact breakdown has faded over time.
These are personal figures from 2014, not a guide to current prices. Bali hotel rates, flights, exchange rates, and package inclusions have changed considerably, so anyone planning a similar trip today should compare current quotes directly.
From a Busy Start to a Very Different Kind of Stay
After two nights of going out and following the honeymoon schedule, we moved to Mulia Villas for the final three nights. We arrived with outside plans, but the resort was so good that we cancelled most of them. Our honeymoon suddenly became much slower—and even better.
