2. Swoon over a sunset
Ain’t nuthin’ more romantic than a jaw-dropping Bali sunset, so this V-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 the best of the best offering indulgent couples’ benefits, romantic experiences, and even special Honeymoon packages (pro tip: you don’t actually have to be on your honeymoon to enjoy these rates and romantic perks!). Look out for this month’s hotel deals, like the “Let Love Unfold” package at Bisma Eight hotel and villas that includes all the perks for Bali’s lovebirds (did we mention gourmet dinner and couples spa sesh?).
4. Go to infinity (pool) and beyond
If you really want to take boo’s breath away this V-Day, then why not 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 boo
Get those romantic juices flowing this Valentine’s Day with a mind-melting couple’s rubdown 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 Seminyak spas, our top Canggu spas, and if you’re on a bit of a budget, here are Bali’s best affordable spas too (you’re welcome).

7. Escape to (another) paradise
Bali is filled with romantic experiences, but nuthin’ lights that fire quite like a weekend getaway. Luckily, 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 the Gili Islands just off of neighbouring Lombok.
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, 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 this V-Day, why not treat bae to a nifty new outfit to paint the town crimson-red. Need some shopping inspo? Check out our guides to Seminyak’s swanky stores and Canggu’s boho boutiques.
10. Go glamping and retreat to 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. Whichever you choose, you’ll feel like you’re in a world of your own…
