12 Things to Do for a Perfect Romantic Escape in Bali

If you’re looking for a romantic getaway in Asia, there’s no better place than Islands of God. Bali has something for everyone with its stunning beaches, lush jungles, and sacred temples. Here are nine things to do in Bali for the perfect romantic escape:

 

1. Stretch out at the mystical Tjampuhan Spa

When finding the perfect spot for a romantic spa getaway, look no further than the Tjampuhan riverside spa in Bali. This sacred space offers more than just a relaxing day of pampering; it’s a place where you can truly heal and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the hot and cold spring jacuzzi situated in a magical, mythical stone cavern.

The water gushing forth was beyond soothing, and adding in the stunning surroundings was like a dream. And the best part? You can experience it all with your loved one by your side. They say elephants never forget, and I’ll never forget the unique attraction of the Elephant Safari Park that adjoins the spa. From the treatment rooms, you can catch glimpses of these gentle giants. It’s the perfect view for an ideal escape.

 

 

2. Enjoy an evening of Fairytale Cuisine

I must admit, when it comes to dining, I’m always looking for something different that shakes things up a bit. And let me tell you, Frankenstein’s Laboratory in Bali epitomises others. Who wouldn’t want to dine among zombies, pirates, and Frankenstein himself? This place is weird, wild, and romantic all rolled into one.

Frankenstein’s Laboratory is the perfect choice for couples seeking an unforgettable evening of high-class fun. And it gets even better – as the night wears on, the monsters come alive, terrifying you until you scream for mercy. Don’t worry; all the horror is balanced with live music, creepy cocktails, and monster bites. Oh, and did I mention the monster band? Vampires and mummies, people – it doesn’t get much cooler than that.

 

 

3. Visit the sea of gold at Desa Belok

As I drove from Bedugul to Kintamani, I could never have imagined what I was about to see. What lay before me was a breathtaking sight that I will never forget. The Desa Belok fields of marigolds, also known as the sea of gold, were awe-inspiring. As a lover of flowers, their brilliant orange and yellow hues took my breath away. But, as I soon discovered, these marigolds are more than just a feast for the eyes.

Standing surrounded by this sea of gold, I felt an electrifying sense of wonder. For the Balinese people, they are an essential offering to the Supreme Balinese God. If you’re ever in the area, I urge you to take a short fifteen-minute drive to experience the beauty of these stunning marigold fields.

 

 

4. Stroll along the Campuhan Ridge

As my partner and I set off on our romantic escape in Bali, the soft light of the rising sun casts a warm glow over the picturesque rice fields and quaint villages we passed. I remember the feeling of stepping onto the Campuhan Ridge trail in Bali and being instantly enchanted by the stunning natural beauty surrounding me. It was like stepping into a movie set – a beautiful and surreal experience.

As we walked and talked, enjoying each other’s company, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for this moment and the opportunity to experience this unusually romantic walk along Campuhan Ridge. It was a memory we would always treasure, a testament to Bali’s stunning beauty and peacefulness. With nobody else around, save for the occasional butterfly; we felt like we had this enchanting path.
