Ah, Bali! The Island of the Gods. For romantics, it’s a dreamy paradise where lush jungles embrace pristine beaches, and time seems to melt away in the embrace of tropical evenings. I remember my own romantic escape to Bali, sipping cocktails while the sun set dramatically over the horizon. If you’re planning a getaway with your loved one, here are some top luxury resorts that promise to make your heart skip a beat.
1. The Legian Seminyak
When I stepped into The Legian Seminyak, I felt like I was entering a sanctuary of elegance. With its stunning beachfront location, the soft sounds of the crashing waves welcomed us. The infinity pool met the ocean, blurring the lines between water and sky.
Imagine waking up in a beautifully-appointed suite, where you can sip your morning coffee while overlooking the ocean. After a relaxing breakfast, we strolled hand-in-hand down Seminyak Beach, feeling the warm sand between our toes.
Insider Tip: Book a private cabana by the pool for the day. Order room service and spend your afternoon basking in luxury!
2. Como Shambhala Estate, Ubud
Nestled in the hills of Ubud, Como Shambhala Estate offers an immersive retreat focused on wellness and serenity. The moment we arrived, the soothing sounds of nature enveloped us, and the scent of fresh herbs filled the air.
We indulged in a couple’s massage in a private spa villa, surrounded by a lush rainforest. It felt as if we had stepped into our little world, away from the chaos of life.
Romantic Activity: Try their wellness programs together. From yoga sessions to guided hikes, it’s an opportunity to connect both with each other and with nature.

Set amidst the rice paddies, Four Seasons at Sayan is nothing short of magical. As we arrived at this estate, the drone of Balinese music greeted us. The resort’s unique design, featuring villas perched above the Ayung River, offers mesmerizing views that take your breath away.
Every evening, we ventured to the riverside for dinner, where we dined on delectable local dishes while the sunset painted the sky in hues of pink and orange.

Perched on the cliffs of Uluwatu, Alila Villas offers sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, framed by dramatic cliffs. As we stepped into our private villa, with its infinity pool spilling into the horizon, we were simply awestruck.
One of my fondest memories was enjoying a candlelit dinner on our terrace, where we could gaze at the stars while savoring gourmet delights. The staff went above and beyond, making our evening feel truly special.
