Wiwaha Chapel
Glass cliff-top wedding chapel, Nusa Dua
Photos: Bali Shuka Wedding / Hilton Bali Resort
Wiwaha Chapel is a glass wedding chapel set about 40 metres up on the cliff at Hilton Bali Resort in Sawangan, at the southern end of Nusa Dua. The walls are glass and the ocean fills them, so the chapel reads as a transparent room above the Indian Ocean. It has been a Nusa Dua cliff-chapel fixture since it opened in 2006, first under Nikko and now under Hilton.
The chapel is built for intimate ceremonies. It seats up to around 40, with a reception area beneath it for about 50 standing, and it comes with bridal rooms and a private lower garden. The design pairs a modern, split-level glass frame with Balinese touches, including a distinctive wooden roof. For a larger reception, the wider grounds of Hilton Bali Resort take over once the ceremony is done.
We treat Wiwaha Chapel as a match for couples who want a small, glass cliff-top ceremony with a big ocean view, backed by a full five-star resort for accommodation and the reception. Weddings are quoted per event and per person depending on the package and guest count, so we pull a current, itemised quote from the resort for your date.

Why we love it
A glass chapel on the cliff
Wiwaha Chapel is a glass structure set about 40 metres up on the cliff at Hilton Bali Resort, with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean through the walls. It reads as a transparent room floating above the sea, which is the reason couples choose it for the ceremony.
Intimate by design
The chapel seats up to around 40, with a reception area beneath it for about 50 standing, so it suits small, intimate ceremonies rather than large banquets. For a bigger reception, the wider grounds of Hilton Bali Resort take over after the ceremony.
Balinese detail on a modern frame
The chapel pairs a glass, split-level structure with Balinese architectural touches, including a distinctive wooden roof, bridal rooms, and a private lower garden. It has been a Nusa Dua cliff-chapel fixture since it opened in 2006.
