With one of my best friends (Summer from Grey Likes Weddings) getting married this week at the beautiful Sunstone Winery, I can’t help but have vineyards on the brain! Today I want to share two of my favorite French getaways for those looking for a romantic, wine country, escape post-wedding!
The Les Sources de Caudalie is in the rural part of France and has everything from a full-service health spa to golf driving-range on site! You can rent bikes to explore the grounds or stay on the property and enjoy the outdoor tennis courts and swimming pools. Everywhere you look seems like you’re in a postcard so definitely don’t forget a camera!
The Chateau de la Barre is filled to the brim with incredible antiques, art, history, and beauty. If you’re wanting a honeymoon that is filled with both relaxation and adventure, then you definitely want to check this place out! It’s less than 2 hours from the buzzing city of Paris but is still a unique, historical chateau with luxurious rooms and a breathtaking property.
And in both these places, of course, is some of the best French wine! So get your toasting glasses and passports ready!
Cheers!
If you and your new spouse prefer snowy and cozy to tropical and hot, try one of these romantic honeymoon destinations around the world!

After a couple days relaxing at The Bulgari Resort in Uluwatu, we headed north to The Legian in Seminyak. I was really excited to visit this hotel and Seminyak after hearing such great things, and was certainly not disappointed!
Seminyak is the most trendy area of Bali. It is a really cool beach town with cute boutiques, fun beach bars, and excellent restaurants. Seminyak is also a popular spot for surfers. This just might be my favorite beach town I have ever visited! Everywhere we went had such a fun atmosphere. I would highly recommend a stop at the beach bar Ku De Ta (and then download their albums on Itunes!) and dinners at the restaurants Sardine and Sarong!
The Legian is the perfect place to stay in Seminyak. The location could not be more central- right on the beach and walking distance to the town. The hotel has a gorgeous 3 tiered infinity pool, and day beds right over the beach. And incredibly nice, friendly service.
For an extra special honeymoon, stay at The Club at The Legian, which is right across the street from the main part of the hotel. Here are gorgeous one bedroom villas with huge private pools! Super romantic, private, and spacious.

I recently returned from the most incredible trip to Bali. Everyone I spoke to that had been to Bali described it as being a really special, life changing destination. And now I see why. I loved every single thing about the trip and would give just about anything to be back there right this minute!
During my trip we stayed at 5 different hotels, so I will be sharing each of them over the next couple weeks. First up, The Bulgari Resort in Bali. This resort is located in the south, in a very secluded and private area called Uluwatu. It was the perfect start to our Bali adventure!
The resort has 59 villas, each with private pools and ocean views! I loved the large private patio, and massive bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers.
My favorite part of the resort was their private beach. The hotel is located on a cliff, so they have in inclinator that takes you down to their private beach. They have a small restaurant on the way down, and then you arrive at their completely private beach. We took a long walk on the beach one morning, which I would definitely recommend. Not a soul in site, unless you count the couple of monkeys that we saw!
A visit to their spa is another must. The treatment rooms have just 3 walls, so you feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves crashing. They also have a yoga platform where they have yoga classes a couple mornings a week.
The restaurants at the hotel are incredible, including many local Balinese dishes. The pool is gorgeous, with private cabanas, and poolside service with complimentary amenities brought to you.
Everywhere you look is so incredibly gorgeous! The grounds are immaculate and the service is really attentive and friendly. It felt like a dream- just too good to be true!
Clients of Ever After Honeymoons receive their 3rd night free, a room upgrade based on availability at arrival, and a $100 resort credit! Contact us if you are interested in staying here!
