Encompassing 29 international airports and being located close to some of the other Southeast Asian countries make Indonesia a highly accessible destination.  All the visa and immigration details for this country are available on the website. Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali and Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang are the two major airports in the country. Both are equipped with facilities which provide smooth travelling experiences for visitors. Juanda Airport in Surabaya, Hasanudin Airport in Makassar, West Java International Airport in Majalengka and Kuala Namu in Medan are other places from which you can disembark. Garuda Indonesia flights are available to and from over 60 locations across the world. 

Luxurious experiences 

Bali is often dubbed the ‘Island of Gods’ and rightly so because it offers a host of mind-blowing experiences and sights. Some of the most upscale hotels in the nation can be found in Ubud, which is regarded as the most opulent part of the island. Another top accommodation site for A-listers includes Nusa Dua. This secluded spot which boasts of opulent offerings is a favourite celebrity getaway.

Among the plethora of luxury activities on offer is golfing. The country houses nearly 150 golf courses and many of these are located close to popular tourist accommodations. The most well-known of them is arguably the 18-hole golf course at Bali National Resort in Nusa Dua.  You also get extraordinary golfing layouts like Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw’s location which is nestled in the middle of a rainforest in Papua. Other places worth checking out for golfing enthusiasts include Royale Jakarta Golf Club, New Kuta Golf Course, Bukit Pandawa Golf & Country Club, and Damai Indah Golf Course. 

Succulent cuisine 

Filled with rich, mouthwatering choices spiced with diverse flavours, the Indonesian cuisine has never failed to disappoint foodies. From much-loved dishes like nasi goring (Indonesian fried rice) and satay (grilled meat accommodated with peanut sauce) to lesser-known delicacies like babi guling (Balinese stuffed roasted suckling pig), gado-gado (salad), and pisang goring (banana fritters with honey), you will be able to tantalise your taste buds with your loved one indulging in these treats over a romantic dinner for two out on the beach or a floating breakfast filled with goodies at your accommodation. 

Diversity

This beautiful nation is known for its diversity. You get a melting pot of different cultures, customs and languages. There are over 300 ethnic groups in the nation from regions like Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Each of these groups holds festivals which are widely celebrated in the country. Some noteworthy festivals to watch out for are Independence Day (August 17) and Eid (after the new Moon has been sighted at the end of the month of Ramadan). You also get vibrant festivals like Nyepi, the Balinese New Year (March) which is held in Bali, the Kesodo Ceremony (the 14th day of the Kasada Month) in East Java and Waisak Day in Central Java. 

From beautiful beaches to tropical rainforests, erupting volcanoes, colourful coral reefs and rich biodiversity, you get a range of different places which you can visit to experience the beauty of nature. If you are both nature lovers, add places like Raja Ampat in Papua, Mount Bromo in Java, Kelimutu Lake in Flores, Komodo National Park in Komodo Island and Dieng Plateau in Central Java to your itinerary.  

To make the most of your Indonesian honeymoon, explore these unique features that each destination offers through an island-hopping expedition. One of the most memorable ways to engage in this activity is by taking aprivate cruise in Indonesia. You will be able to visit several islands easily to experience the diverse culture that each destination has to offer. Take a yacht charter like Vela and sail off to some off-the-beaten-path routes, seeking unique experiences like trekking amid Komodo dragons and swimming alongside manta rays.
