Get Acquainted
The best memories are created by extraordinary experiences and a destination wedding in Bali should be on your bucket list. When you are traveling 10,000 miles for the memory of a lifetime, it is important that you spoil yourself in every way possible! The Mulia Resort and Mulia Villas consist of 5-star luxurious, beachfront sister properties situated along the Nusa Dua Bay, designed with your dream wedding in mind. The property is a blend of modern art and Balinese Symbolism surrounded by lavish gardens and aquatic tranquility. From the moment you arrive, the staff of the Mulia will make you feel like a celebrity, with personalized butler service and the genuine warmth of the Balinese people.
The Resort offers multiple possibilities to accommodate the desires of a bride as well as the needs of family and guests. Opulent décor, spacious living areas and high-tech amenities, especially the toilets, will be found in every suite or villa at the resort.
Note To Self
The adventure begins with the flight. It will take you about two days to get there, with the longest flight lasting about 16 hours. This is when it is well worth the splurge to travel business or first class, giving you the most privacy, comfort and pampering service. Our airline of choice was Cathay Pacific Airways, with cozy private compartments for working and sleeping, unlimited beverage service and delicious meals as well as access to their expansive Business Lounges during layovers.
Big Day Details
The Mulia offers three distinctively unique chapels on property to create your momentous occasion. The Lake Chapel will accommodate up to 250 guests while the Harmony and Unity Chapels are more intimate coupled with the expansive oceanfront and lush tropical gardens, the possibilities are endless.
Allow the creative, talented wedding staff, assist in planning a traditional Balinese Wedding Blessing where the bride and groom will be transported on Royalty Balinese palanquins, accompanied by a Balinese flower bearer and Baleganjur, a traditional Balinese percussion, and blessed by a Balinese Priest with ancient Sanskrit mantra & holy water.
The evening is then continued with a Balinese themed reception dinner accompanied by traditional Balinese dance and music. Don’t let the night end there stay on that cloud and invite your guests to The Sky Bar to relax, unwind and take in the breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean.
