Bali is a paradise when it comes to honeymoons. Many people escape to Bali to celebrate their nuptials and it is easy to see why!

Pomegranate Café

Take in the sunset and soak in the glorious last rays of the day at Pomegranate café in Ubud. This little pondok style café smack bang in the middle of the rice fields is one of the most romantic places to have a drink with your significant other. The café provides a 360 degree open view of the rice fields, as well as a glimpse of Mount Agung on the north-east in the morning and Mount Batukaru on the north-west. When the sun goes down, expect to see the Camphian river in all its glory. When it gets dark, you can see the city lights all the way in Nusa Dua, Kuta and Jimbaran.

Balinese Massage

One of the most relaxing things you can do as a couple is have a ‘couples massage’ and Ubud Traditional Spa offers a pretty spectacular experience. Hidden away in Payogan, away from the hustle and bustle of the centre, Ubud Traditional Spa is a special place. They are a family-run spa and provide you with a very traditional Balinese experience. They only offer four massages, but they do them very well. The spa is built out of Balinese materials, such as wood and bamboo and they are environmentally friendly. A cool drink will be offered to you upon arrival and after your massage, indulge in hot ginger tea and fresh fruit.

Petulu Village

A 15-minute scooter ride from the centre of Ubud will take you to Petulu village – any other Balinese village by day but by sunset, Petulu turns into the sleeping place for hundreds of Heron birds. It is a beautiful sight to behold and can be very romantic with your partner standing by your side. The birds are very sacred to the Balinese people and to help care for them, they ask for a small entry fee of $2.

Bali Swing

What is more romantic then swinging off into the sunset with your loved one? Well, perhaps your loved one can take photos of you on the swing because only 1 person is allowed on the swing, but it really is a magical experience. The Ubud Swing is literally a giant swing where you can glide back and forth into the jungle. The views are breath-taking, especially if you go later in the day, just as the sun is setting.

Address: 20 minutes from the Ubud centre – it is on Google Maps
