Canggu

A collaboration between architects Sonny Chan and Albano Daminato — Arnalaya is what happens when serious design talent is let loose on a beachfront site with no budget constraints. The terraced gardens, oceanfront balé and 20-metre pool create one of Canggu's most photogenic settings. External caterers set up a satellite kitchen in the lower garden; the Elite Havens guidelines confirm this is standard practice. Music runs to 11pm. At 100 seated the space feels full without being cramped. One of the more consistent recommendations we make for couples who want genuine architectural beauty alongside the beach.

Nine bedrooms across two adjoining villas (Bendega Nui and Bendega Rato) and a one-bedroom pavilion, set amid the rice terraces of Canggu with the beach a short walk away. The ceremony is best placed on the lower grass area facing the paddies; reception tables set around the pool on the higher lawn. The rice field backdrop is more photogenic and quieter than anything on the beachfront strip. External caterers are confirmed and set up in the garage area — the Elite Havens event guidelines document the logistics clearly. Music to 11pm; midnight for amplified.

Villa Vedas sits on 45 metres of uninterrupted Tabanan beachfront, an architecturally striking smart villa with a column-free 22-metre glass span that opens fully to the ocean. Eight ensuite bedrooms across a master bridal suite, four king suites and three pavilions sleep up to 16, with two ground-floor infinity pools plus a second-floor sky pool. A private chef and full villa staff are included, and the location allows a later party curfew than most Bali venues. North of Tanah Lot, around 20 minutes from Canggu.
