Travelling as mixed indonesian-european unmarried couple in Indonesia and Bali 2023

There’s much talk about that new law, but it is not effective yet and once it is, only your or her relatives could start an investigation. I hope you both are on good relations with your parents, so nothing to worry about.

Among all places in Indonesia, Bali is the most liberal. Where is your girlfriend from? She should know that it usually is not a problem in any of the big cities and tourist destinations. Some hotels don’t accept unmarried couples, but that’s it.

Your girlfriend will know which ones to avoid: some hotels bear the name “Syariah Hotel”, and you should not try there (they are not extremists, they just follow islam. guidelines aka no unmarried couples and no alcohol etc).

Don’t be too concerned, unmarried Indonesian couples also need a place to go because you usually cannot stay in your partner’s house overnight.
