Long before Eat, Pray and Love made Ubud famous, honeymooners were drawn to its magical atmosphere … 

One of the most popular locations in Bali for couples honeymooning or indulging in special time together is Ubud, where luxurious resorts and bespoke getaways allow couples to enjoy the best that the island has to offer, and if you are the kind of couple who likes to take things at a slower pace or enjoys the cultural aspect of a destination, chances are you’ll love the ‘old Bali’ feel to Ubud.

Bali enchants its visitors with verdant forests, vast green rice-fields, and a spiritual energy, and nowhere on the island quite captures this magical energy like Ubud does. This magical, spiritual place has somehow managed to open itself up to tourism (well and truly in some parts), yet still hold tight to its ancient culture and rituals.
