Bali has been named Asia's Leading Wedding Destination at the World Travel Awards. This is the island's seventh win in the category in eight years, and it has now advanced to the world final.
This year Bali beat Koh Samui in Thailand, Langkawi in Malaysia and Cebu in the Philippines. The Philippine rival took the award in 2024, ending the island's five-year winning streak, but last year the title returned to Bali.
The results of the global round will be announced on 12 December at a ceremony in Tanzania. Alongside Bali, 11 other destinations are nominated, including the Bahamas, Mauritius, Jamaica, Dubai and Zanzibar. Last year the Bahamas won.
Bali's wedding organisers' association estimates that its members alone hold 2.5–3 thousand weddings on the island each year. Most couples come from Singapore, Australia, India, China, the USA and European countries. The wedding season runs from April to October.
Newlyweds flying to Bali can get a cheaper visa until 30 November: Legal Indonesia is offering them a discount of up to 2,000,000 IDR. The company's managers can explain the terms of the offer.
