Villa Baja

RE: RE: swimmable beach

by BesarRahasia

The ocean in the Sanur and Nusa Dua areas are reasonably safe for swimming. To be honest they are perhaps the only 2 areas in the South of Bali where you can swim reasonably safe (especially for a novice swimmer)

Sanur is more lively than Nusa Dua on a night time with plenty of bars and restaurants having live music and everything like that.

There are some good hotels in Sanur depending on your budget. However there aren't many that have a chapel in the grounds for your commitment ceremony. There are many villas available to cater for your ceremony, however depending on your time of year (high season for example)for the ceremony many places will be fully booked or would reqire a minimum stay of around 3 nights.

The hotels in Nusa Dua area are generally more expensive than the one's in Sanur.

Tanjung Benoa also has a good swimming beach but there are lots of watersports there and many speedboats so it probably isn't too safe.

Fireworks are not readily available in Bali on sale to the public,(Legally that is) they are usually brought in from Java for special occasions mostly orgainsed by the hotels or other agencies, and if you reqiure rockets to go into the air then you would need a special permit (to do it legally that is). The permit can be easily obtained by a wedding organiser. As to the costs for a simple commitment ceremony, well there still have to be fees paid to the celebrant who will oversee the ceremony, the fee to the local banjar for the ceremony, and to the chapel commitee (if you choose a chapel, you could try to organise it yourself it doesnt require any legal documentation and could be performed anyplace. The average price for this ceremony should be around $450 US complete.(including the permit for the fireworks (fireworks additional cost)

I hope this information helps, have a great time in Bali and a good happy life together with your partner.
