1. Sunset gazing & sunset cocktails on Seminyak Beach
When the sun sets over the island, everything and everyone gets an enchanting honey-coloured glow. It is the perfect time to hold hands, kiss and be in the moment together alone with your sweetheart. The best thing to do is hit the beach… Seminyak Beach, to be precise. While you’re at it, order and sip some delicious, tropical sunset cocktails. The presence of other romantic couples and happy holidayers will only add to the magical vibe that hangs in the air. Get comfy on the beanbags of charming beach bars at Double Six and stick around for the live music or head towards KU DE TA or Potato Head in Petitenget to lounge stylishly under the sunset sky.
2. Stroll around Oberoi Road and eat ice cream
While holding hands and strolling along the famous Oberoi Road, you can stop at many places to shop, have coffee and eat out. Another must-stop along the way is at Gelato Factory to get your fix of homemade Italian ice cream. Chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, caramel, it’ll make your sweetheart even sweeter and if your baby has a sweet tooth, he or she will be forever thankful! We recommend Gelato Factory and Gaya Gelato!
3. See a romantic movie
Whether it’s an escape from the heat at daytime or an evening out with popcorn and drinks, a trip to the cinema can’t be missing during your Seminyak love trip. Going to the cinema is a classic ‘first date hit’ and here in Bali, you can relive the romance all over again. Pick out a romantic movie, cuddle up close and sit back holding hands.

4. Take a flower bath
Refuge in one of Seminyak’s luxury spas and go all the way with a full-blown couples’ spa experience where you get to soak together in a warm, scenting flower bath. It is romantic and it is blissful! For those couples, not wanting to leave the sacred grounds of their private villa, ask the staff to get professional spa therapists to come over for some in-villa spa pampering ending with a flower bath in your private en-suite bathroom.
4. Feast on a high tea @ Biku Tea House
Surprise your loved one with a sophisticated high tea at Seminyak’s one and only ‘tea house’: Biku. Scones with creme fraiche and strawberry jam, homemade chocolates, cakes and tarts, harty sandwiches and tea or cappuccino, it is one sweet feast to share, just the two of you. Feeling a tiny notch adventurous? Choose the Asian high-tea instead of the classic one, tasting traditional sweets and fried delights.
5. Make each other a silver ring
This may sound too romantic to be true but wouldn’t it be amazing to wear each other’s handcrafted silver rings, made in Bali? Book yourselves in for a workshop at a local silversmith in Sanur or Ubud and you will not only be learning these ancient trades but you will craft your own silver ring. You can make your own design or romantically engrave the rings with your names. Everyone can do it and you will be surprised by the end result. At Sanur Jewelry Studio, there is a special workshop for couples and it includes a bottle of bubbles to share during or at the end of this inspiring day.
6. Take the craziest photos at Dream Museum Zone
Run from a giant gorilla, escape a shark attack and travel from Venice, to fairytale lands, to the deep jungle of Borneo. All is possible at the DMZ Trick Art Museum. Where else can you take such crazy photos or save your sweetheart from life-threatening situations? It’ll make an impression for sure!
