Things To Do On Valentine’s Day in Bali – 2025
1. Reserve a top-notch table for two with a special romantic menu
If you really want to make an impression this Valentine’s Day, take your date to one of Bali’s most romantic restaurants – the award-winning fine-diners that are designed to dazzle. We’re talking butter-poached lobster, velvety French foie gras, chocolate indulgence and of course, plenty of oysters *wink wink*.
San Valantines set menu dinner at Chupacabras
This Valentine’s Day, ditch the ordinary and escape into the jungle for a night of fiery South American flavours at Chupacabras. Overlooking the Ayung River and Ubud’s lush Sayan Valley, this intimate hideaway is serving up a special five-course grilled set menu that’s been carefully curated by Executive Chef Mauro Santarelli. They’ll get you started with the Peruvian-inspired Oyster Cebiche, followed by Tuna & Prawn Tartar with the smoothest avocado mousse and crunchy seaweed tempura. Then comes Prawn and Mushroom Sorrentino in truffle cream – a nod to the Chef’s Argentinean roots. All of this leads up to the showstopper: the melt-in-your-mouth Tenderloin on Pepper with creamy potatoes. End on a sweet note with Chocolate Textures… V-Day romance, sorted!

2. Swoon over a sunset
Ain’t nuthin’ more romantic than a jaw-dropping Bali sunset, so this Valentine’s Day, why not whisk your honey away to one of Bali’s best sunset bars. Whether you choose a beach or jungle setting, if the view fits, we say go with it. Champagne on ice is not required, but highly recommended…
3. Stay in a helplessly romantic hotel
With so much natural beauty in Bali, every hotel here is arguably geared up for love. But there are certain stays that have got romancing down to a fine art, with everything from boutique hotels to the most luxurious resorts offering indulgent couples’ benefits, romantic experiences, and even special Honeymoon packages (psst – you don’t actually have to be on your honeymoon to enjoy these rates and romantic perks!).
4. Go to infinity (pool) and beyond
If you really want to take boo’s breath away this Valentine’s Day, then spend the day at one of Bali’s most breathtaking infinity pools. Nothing says “forever” like an infinite vista – cosy daybeds, bubbles and gourmet poolside bites are just an added bonus.
5. Bliss out with a couple’s spa treatment
Get those romantic juices flowing this Valentine’s Day with a mind-melting couple’s massage at a top Bali spa. From divine massage treatments to fabulous hair salons, pampering your senses into submission is always best enjoyed as a couple. To help you do exactly that, here are our fave spas in Seminyak, Canggu and Ubud, and if you’re on a bit of a budget, here are Bali’s best affordable spas too.
6. Have a wet ‘n’ wild date at Waterbom
If you’re less about cheesy gestures and more about making memories for #CouplesGoals, then this Valentine’s Day swap the candlelit dinners for a couples’ island adventure. Our favourite wet ‘n wild date spot is Waterbom, where you can make full use of the Duo Pass, which includes two entry tickets, towels, a locker to share and 30-minute foot massage for you and boo.

7. Escape to (another) island paradise
Bali is filled with romantic experiences, but nuthin’ lights that fire quite like a long weekend getaway – and this year, Valentine’s Day 2025 just so happens to fall on a Friday! Bali is just a hop, skip and a short boat ride away from a handful of paradisal islands, from Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, to Gili Islands on neighbouring Lombok. Or, fly away to Sumba Island, home to NIHI Sumba, one of the best hotels in the world!
8. Brunch with bae, Bali-style
They say that food is the way to one’s heart, so why not start the romance early with a luxurious brunch spread? From fine-dining brunches with Champagne and mimosas, to laid-back brunches by the beach, Bali’s best cafes and restaurants cater to all kinds of brunch dates. And if you’re not in the mood to leave your love nest? Most of Bali’s five-star hotels and resorts offer romantic floating breakfasts and weekend brunches (with bubbles, of course!) in their signature restaurants, so be sure to check there first.
9. Dress to impress
As the saying goes, “love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind” – but if you ask us, a fabulous frock or smart suit helps move things along in the seduction department. So if you’re wondering what to give on Valentine’s Day, how about a nifty new outfit to paint the town crimson-red. Need some shopping inspo and gift ideas for Valentine’s Day? Check out our guides to Seminyak’s best boutiques and where to shop in Canggu. Psst – if all else fails, keep Bali’s top florists and flower shops on speed-dial!
10. Go glamping in your own romantic bubble
If a blissful day out in nature is your kinda romance, then take your Valentine for a night of glamping. Glamping is one of the most popular things to do in Bali, and lucky for you, there are countless outdoorsy hideaways all over the island. Think beachside glamping beside quiet beaches, and breezy jungle glamp-sites surrounded by chirping birds and fresh air. If you’re splashing out, we always recommend Capella Ubud – it’s a luxury glamping resort that will certainly take your breath away…
