The great lakes of Bali are reservoirs of beauty and charm that are often forgotten. These majestic lakes are well worth your time and are a perfect mix of beauty & tranquillity as they showcase the beauty of Bali that lies beyond the coast. Hop onto a canoe to say “I do” in the middle of a lake! Many are situated in a crater of an inactive volcano. You can create your distinctive, elegant and exclusive lakeside wedding at one of the exotic lakes in Bali.
Places To Consider:
Lake Batur: Among all lakes on Bali Island, Lake Batur is not only the largest but also the most popular. It is located at the foot of a mountain with the same name, Mount Batur. From a height, notice that the whole Batur area is a large caldera with the mountain and the lake inside.
