A designer dress and larger-than-life wedding ceremony aren’t the only things celebrities splurge on to celebrate their big day. In fact, that’s often just the beginning.

We know what you’re thinking – isn’t Bali too obvious and cliché for a honeymoon destination? But hey, it’s popular for a reason. Plus, staying in a private resort with a private beach all to yourself? Now that’s a honeymoon to remember.

According to Mnet’s TMI News, Ko So-young was four months pregnant when Jang Dong-gun prepared this luxury honeymoon trip as a gift for her. The couple stayed in Bulgari Resort Bali, which can cost up to US$5,300 per night. The private resort includes its own private beach, private swimming pools for each villa or mansion as well as large rooms with ocean views, butler services and more. The trip costs around US$10,000 including US$4,000 for the return flights from Korea to Bali.

2. Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung spent up to US$77,000 to stay at Maldives’ Jumeirah Dhevanafushi

Apart from Bali, the Maldives is another popular destination for honeymoon trips – which is why Lee Byung-hun (Hollywood film G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Squid Game) and Lee Min-jung (Boys Over Flowers) chose to spend seven to 10 days (reports vary) at a private villa in Jumeirah Dhevanafushi, which has since been revamped and turned into Raffles Maldives Merado Resort.
