These Booking Terms & Conditions outline the contractual agreement between guests and Nusa Penida Honeymoon Retreat for all reservations and services rendered from 22 May 2026 onwards. Adherence to these terms is required for all bookings, which typically involve a 30% non-refundable deposit for stays averaging three nights, aligning with the mid-range honeymoon budget of USD 500-1,000 for the Nusa Penida segment of a trip. These policies are designed to ensure clarity and transparency for all parties involved in planning a Nusa Penida honeymoon.
Booking Confirmation and Deposit Requirements
A booking is formally confirmed upon receipt of a non-refundable deposit and issuance of a confirmation email by Nusa Penida Honeymoon Retreat. For all package bookings and individual villa reservations, a deposit equivalent to 30% of the total estimated cost is required at the time of reservation. This deposit secures the chosen accommodation and services for the specified dates.
The standard processing time for booking confirmations, once the deposit is received, is 24-48 business hours. For bookings made within 60 days of the scheduled arrival date, a 50% deposit may be requested to expedite the confirmation process. This policy ensures availability for high-demand periods, particularly during peak seasons which often see increased interest from Australian and Indian honeymooners. Failure to provide the required deposit within the stipulated timeframe may result in the automatic cancellation of the provisional booking without prior notification.
Payment Schedule and Final Settlement
The remaining balance of the total booking cost is due 60 days prior to the scheduled arrival date. Guests will receive an automated payment reminder approximately 70 days before their arrival. For bookings made within 60 days of arrival, the full payment is required at the time of booking confirmation.
Payments can be made via bank transfer or credit card. All transactions are processed in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) at the prevailing exchange rate on the day of payment, though estimated costs are often quoted in USD for international guests, particularly those from the United States and United Kingdom. Any bank charges or foreign transaction fees incurred during the payment process are the responsibility of the guest. Failure to settle the outstanding balance by the due date may lead to the cancellation of the booking, with deposit funds retained as per the cancellation policy. For details on various package inclusions, please refer to our pricing page.
Cancellation Policy and Refund Procedures
Cancellations must be submitted in writing via email to Nusa Penida Honeymoon Retreat. The effective date of cancellation is the date the written notification is received. Refund eligibility and applicable charges are determined by the notice period provided:
- **More than 60 days prior to arrival:** The 30% non-refundable deposit is retained.
- **31 to 60 days prior to arrival:** 50% of the total booking cost is forfeited.
- **15 to 30 days prior to arrival:** 75% of the total booking cost is forfeited.
- **14 days or less prior to arrival:** 100% of the total booking cost is forfeited.
No refunds are issued for early departures or no-shows. Any eligible refunds will be processed within 10-14 business days from the date of cancellation confirmation. The refunded amount will be credited back to the original payment method, minus any applicable transaction fees. This structured policy is essential for managing accommodation availability, especially given the demand for private pool villas in Nusa Penida.
Amendments, Date Changes, and Guest Responsibilities
Requests for amendments or date changes to confirmed bookings must be made in writing. All changes are subject to availability and may incur an administrative fee of USD 50 per alteration. Date changes requested within 60 days of the original arrival date are treated as cancellations and re-bookings, subject to the standard cancellation policy.
Guests are responsible for obtaining all necessary travel documents, including passports and visas, and for complying with Indonesian immigration regulations. Nusa Penida Honeymoon Retreat is not liable for any issues arising from guests’ failure to meet these requirements. Guests are also expected to adhere to the retreat’s house rules, including check-in (14:00) and check-out (12:00) times, and maintain respectful conduct towards staff and other guests. Damage to retreat property caused by guests will be charged to the guest’s account. More information about our operational philosophy can be found on our About Us page.
Force Majeure and Unforeseen Circumstances
Nusa Penida Honeymoon Retreat reserves the right to modify or cancel bookings in circumstances beyond its reasonable control, commonly referred to as Force Majeure events. These include, but are not limited to, natural disasters (e.g., volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis), acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics, pandemics, government travel restrictions, airport or port closures, and significant infrastructure failures.
In the event of a Force Majeure, guests will be offered alternative dates or a credit for a future stay, subject to availability and any applicable price differences. Cash refunds are not guaranteed under Force Majeure circumstances. This policy reflects common practices in the Indonesian tourism sector, which operates under the guidance of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. Guests are strongly advised to secure comprehensive travel insurance that covers such unforeseen events, particularly those traveling from countries like Germany and Western Europe who often prioritize travel security.

The legal jurisdiction for any formal proceedings will be the courts of Indonesia.
