Bali and Southeast Asia Honeymoons
Bali normalized the private plunge pool villa long before anywhere else did, and that is still the honeymoon question worth asking here: is the pool actually screened from the path the staff use, or does privacy end at the front gate. This list covers Bali, Phuket, Koh Samui and the Vietnamese coast on those terms, plus how a resort stages a cliff-edge proposal or a vow renewal, since several build entire venues around exactly that. Indonesian law does not recognize civil marriage between foreign non-residents on-site, so ceremonies here are symbolic and we say so rather than let a resort imply otherwise. The flight from the US runs twenty hours or more each way, worth knowing before you book six nights.
