Ubud has activities that are romantic, adventurous, healing, and let’s be honest, instagrammable! We will share the best couple experiences in Ubud, Bali that you can experience yourself!

Introduction: Traveling to Ubud with Your Favorite Human

Let us be the first to tell you: Ubud has to be one of the most romantic destinations we have ever been to, filled with many sought out activities for couples! We have traveled to Ubud, Bali during our getaway to Asia where we were engaged (later proposed in Nusa Penida, not in Ubud), and we have to say, we have had some of the best experiences and true honeymoon vibes in Ubud! Not to mention, this area really gets you a great deal with your money (especially if you live in the U.S. like us).

Whether you are celebrating a honeymoon anniversary, planning a proposal (like we did), or just want to experience this beautiful country, here are the best couple experiences in Ubud! These activities will enhance your Bali, Indonesia travel experience with your partner!

1. Get a Couple’s Spa Treatment

Can you imagine getting a massage with your loved one while surrounded by rice paddies, birds chirping, and a gentle breeze rolling in? This fantasy is made real by Ubud, and like we said earlier, everything is super affordable here!

Top Spa Picks for Couples

  • Karsa Spa: Probably Ubud’s most iconic spa. Think flower baths, open-air massage huts, and next-level tranquility. Be sure to book ahead- they fill up fast!
  • Fivelements Retreat: A bit of a splurge, but 100% worth it if you want a luxury spiritual spa experience complete with riverside treatments and energy healing.
  • Taksu Spa: Right in central Ubud but this place feels like a jungle oasis. If you can, book the 90-minute Balinese couple’s massage. You definitely won’t regret it!

We would go to argue that your Ubud trip is not complete without a side-by-side massage!

2. Take a Romantic Stroll Through the Tegalalang Rice Terraces

You have probably seen the photos all over social media- those lush, terraced green hills. Tegalalang is this spot!

3. Take a Balinese Cooking Class

We love taking cooking classes in different countries. Although we love eating, cooking classes aren’t just about food, but rather connecting with the culture. If you want a memorable experience with your partner, try attending a cooking class together and see how much fun they can be!
