Ubud is famously known for its luxurious spas. You can do anything from an intimate flower bath, natural remedy facials, reflexology, head massages or the ultimate full body balinese massage. Unlike other places around the world, the balinese massage can only be found on this island, and is specifically top tier in Ubud. You can choose from a local spa like Putri Bali Spa, have a luxurious couple’s massage at Four Seasons or really pamper your partner with a full day spa retreat at Hanging Gardens of Bali (here you can choose to have your own private spa room, upgrade to a private spa suite or enjoy nature more intimately by a massage by the Ayung River - the ultimate honeymoon indulgence!).

Feel like a mermaid with breakfast in the pool! Definitely a unique experience with its own sensations: floating, eating, indulging, with nature all around you - the greenery, the breeze, the echoes of the birds chirping. Not a vibe you can get anywhere else, and a perfect start to the day. For an absolutely stunning setting, the award-winning Hanging Gardens of Bali offers one of the most iconic romantic floating breakfasts in Ubud, with your own private infinity pool in your villa for complete privacy. Top tip: bring cute swimsuits to take lots of insta-worthy photos, as this place has some really breathtaking views. This is easily one of the top honeymoon experiences in Bali.

Have you ever had dinner on top of a pool? Unlike the floating breakfast, you’re not in the pool this time, but your table is set on top of the pool, giving an ethereal, romantic, unique dinner experience. Candles everywhere, reflecting a golden glow on both of you, perfect soft lighting for romantic photos, with the entire surrounding floors decorated with traditional balinese flowerings. Top tip for this one: make it a surprise for your partner for their best reaction, and request words written in the flowers, perhaps your couple name or a cute message to your partner? A floating candlelit dinner, a thoughtful surprise, an exclusive luxury dinner under the stars - a truly romantic experience unique to Bali.

There are endless stunning waterfalls in Ubud, and can range from a small walk down to a full day excursion to enjoy it. However, if you want a waterfall that’s unique in its structure, an enjoyable leisurely experience and have a romantic photoshoot in Bali, then definitely choose Kanto Lampo Waterfall. It is an absolutely instagrammable waterfall where you can take stunning couple travel photos for timeless stories to bring back home (or maybe take those engagement photos for that announcement when you’re both ready to share it!). Side note: there are usually locals there that will take great photos for you if you ask & they will guide you with great poses to copy.

Commemorate your trip by making your own rings for each other in Ubud. You can choose from an array of silver jewellery making classes in Bali, but Ubud Silver Making Class is the best. You learn the craft of handmade jewellery making, you can even choose semi precious stones to add to it (top tip: include your partner’s birthstone for added sentimental value), and you get to have downtime with your partner in a calm, creative and learning environment. Such a romantic thing to do in Ubud that shows your thoughtfulness in spending quality time with each other - Plus you’ll leave with a timeless keepsake that will forever remind you of your romantic Bali getaway!

Enjoy a guided tasting of one of the world’s most exclusive coffees: Kopi Luwak, an Indonesia-only delicacy, while overlooking the breathtaking Tegallalang Rice Terraces in Ubud. This romantic Bali experience combines rare gourmet flavours with iconic Balinese scenery, making it perfect for couples seeking a culinary and cultural adventure in an unforgettable setting.

For a breath of fresh air, calm vibes, but still want to move your body, the Campuhan Ridge Walk is perfect for a romantic couple’s walk to watch the sky change colours at sunset. Picture a winding walkway perched between two jungle-covered hills, offering surreal, panoramic views, giving you this unreal immersive view you get to stroll through - a true scenic trail in Ubud. It is definitely an unforgettable and stunning sunset walk in Bali, and an ideal spot for couples looking to slow down and connect.

If you are falling in love with Balinese cuisine, why not learn to cook it together? Take a private hands-on cooking lesson designed for couples, taught directly by a local Balinese chef, for authentic recipes that you’ll get to master. This isn’t just a fun date, but a cultural experience that you can recreate back home - a lovely reminder of your romantic Bali vacation whenever you want!

A full mind, body and soul immersion into Balinese spirituality and culture. At Tirta Empul Temple, you can experience an authentic Balinese holy water blessing to cleanse your heart and mind. A refreshing form of rebirth for a couple’s spiritual experience. A meaningful and deep understanding of yourself and each other. Top tip: visit with a knowledgeable local guide to hear the temple’s cultural stories and mythology while ensuring an authentic experience at this sacred Balinese temple.

For a more luxurious and calmer scene, you can book out an entire temple for a private romantic dinner in Bali, making this an exclusive Balinese temple experience. This stunning sacred location is the only temple in Bali built on cascading land and sits on a mountain that faces the award winning Hanging Gardens of Bali. Imagine walking through the temple doors to the opening of the entire rainforest. As you walk down the candlelit framed stairs, you’re led to your table for your luxury dining experience, just you and your partner. Quiet, peaceful, private, sacred, intimate: pure romance and the ultimate intimate Bali dinner, just perfect for honeymooners.
