The Royal Purnama
Adults-only beachfront resort, southeast Bali
Photos: The Royal Purnama / Ministry of Villas
The Royal Purnama sits on the black sand of Pantai Purnama at Ketewel, on the quieter southeast coast of Bali in Gianyar. This is Full Moon Beach, a local stretch of volcanic shore rather than a busy resort strip, and the whole property is adults only, which keeps it calm and geared toward couples.
The resort runs to fewer than fifty keys, from suites to a collection of private pool villas, with the Black Sand Spa and the Standing Stone Beach Restaurant on site. That scale means a mid-sized wedding party can stay in one place, and the beach in front of the resort works for a ceremony at the water’s edge.
We treat The Royal Purnama as a match for couples who want a beachfront wedding away from the south’s crowds, still within about 45 minutes of the airport and a short drive from Ubud. Room rates move with the date and villa type, and wedding fees are quoted separately, so we reconfirm current figures and available spaces with the resort for your day.
Key details
Why we love it
Black sand and full moon beach
The resort sits directly on Pantai Purnama, the Full Moon Beach, a stretch of black volcanic sand on Bali's southeast coast. Ceremonies happen on a quiet shore that stays local and calm rather than crowded.
Adults only
The Royal Purnama takes guests over twelve only, which keeps the resort quiet and geared toward couples. That suits a wedding where you want the whole property to feel like your own.
Pool villas across a small resort
There are fewer than fifty keys here, including a run of private pool villas, so your guests can stay on site in one place rather than spread across the island.
