Monday movie nights by the beach under a canopy of stars? We’re already swooning. This hidden beach paradise is tucked at the foot of a limestone cliff and can only be accessed by a private funicular.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill equestrian centre; it has attracted Olympians, show jumpers, and celebrities from all over the world. The centre’s international 5-star rating makes it a class act for both professionals and beginners. Saddle up for a 2-hour horseback riding track where you can experience riding along the beach (just like in the movies). You’ll pass through villages, ride alongside rice fields, trot across creeks, and pass beachside temples along the way.
It’s such a whirlwind experience to look down and see Bali from a bird’s eye view (if you can stomach the height). You and your better half will be in awe as you fly over the spectacular coastline, river gorges, Mount Batur’s caldera, the picturesque Uluwatu temple, and limestone cliffs. This is one of the best things to do in Bali for the photo album.
Toes in the sand, cocktail in hand, and the most beautiful views overlooking Jimbaran Bay. What more could you want? Settle down at one of the restaurants overlooking the bay to feast on fresh fish dishes, sample traditional Balinese offerings, and sip on fruity cocktails with your other half. Dreamy.
There’s nothing more soul-destroying than an overcrowded beach. But you can escape the herd by heading to Gunung Payung Beach, where you can have some private tanning time – solo. The beach is incredibly remote, so it’s worth bringing your own water (or Bingtang) and snacks to keep you going throughout the day. One of the best under-the-radar romantic things to do in Bali.
The white stone façade of this hidden gem conceals a true treasure within, featuring a stunning bamboo-beamed dining hall and alfresco platforms that overlook one of the last remaining rice paddies in Seminyak. The charming compound is surrounded by lush bamboo gardens, serene ponds, and whimsical Balinese-inspired décor, complete with pristine white and checkered parasols.
The menu is ever-evolving, with fresh ingredients sourced daily from the morning catch. Naturally, seafood takes centre stage, from succulent scallops and octopus to, of course, sardines. After all, why visit Sardine for anything but the finest sardines?
The Tegalalang rice terraces provide a breathtaking vista that stretches out before you, with lush green fields cascading down the hillside and extending across the valley to the rice paddies on the opposite slopes.
Indulge in their “Perfect Pairs” couple’s massage treatment, where you and your loved one can unwind side by side in blissful relaxation. Whether you choose an hour or 90 minutes, this rejuvenating experience offers the ultimate pampering session. There’s no better way to unwind than with a soothing massage in the company of someone special.
Visit Bali at the end of January, and you’ll have the chance to experience the country’s Chinese New Year celebrations as a couple. In Bali, it’s celebrated by the Chinese-Indonesian community with a blend of traditional Chinese customs and local Balinese influences. Festivities include temple visits, lion and dragon dances, red lantern decorations, and family prayers for prosperity. Special foods like kue keranjang and lapis legit are enjoyed, and red envelopes (ang pao) are given for good luck. While the celebrations are rooted in Chinese traditions, Balinese Hindu elements may also be incorporated, particularly in rituals and offerings. Public events and performances in areas like Denpasar also bring the community together.
