If you’re looking to reconnect, recharge, and fall in love all over again (with your partner and Bali), this 3-day Ubud escape is made for you. I’ve personally explored every corner of this place during my years in Bali, and this itinerary combines soulful moments, luxury villas, and nature at its purest. ⸻ Day 1: Arrival & Intimate Jungle Luxury at Kayon Jungle Resort Morning: • Arrival in Ubud. Private car pickup (absolutely worth it after the Denpasar chaos). • Check-in to Kayon Jungle Resort — honestly, this place feels like it was designed for romance. • Settle into your private villa with an infinity pool that blends into the jungle canopy. Afternoon: • Take it slow. Order room service, swim, and listen to the birds. You’re in paradise now. • Around 4pm, grab a cocktail from the pool bar and just… exist together. Evening: • Villa Movie Night Experience – the hotel sets up a private romantic movie under the stars, complete with popcorn and cozy pillows. ⸻ Day 2: Nature, Waterfalls & Cultural Cleansing Early Morning: • Light breakfast and head out for a waterfall mission. • Option one: Nung Nung Waterfall – powerful, raw, and totally worth the stairs. Bring swimwear. This waterfall is for adventurous ones. • Option two: Kanto Lampo Waterfall – way more relaxed to reach, tiered rocks, perfect for photos and soaking together. Lunch: • Refuel at Suka Espresso Ubud. Great Aussie-style brunch spot. Try the tuna poke bowl or shakshuka. Afternoon: • Head to Tirta Empul Temple – the sacred water purification ritual. • Dress modestly (sarongs provided), and go with intention. It’s more than just a photo op — it’s healing. • Bonus: Stop by Gunung Kawi or Saraswati Temple nearby if time allows. Evening: • Dinner at Pison Ubud – moody lighting, top-tier food, and live music if you’re lucky. • Order the truffle mushroom pasta or the crispy duck. Optional Nightcap: • Swing by Pyramids of Chi for a nighttime sound healing or cacao ceremony. It’s a surreal, vibrating-in-your-soul type of experience. ⸻ Day 3: Yoga, Pizza & Goodbye Ubud Morning: • Sunrise yoga at Yoga Barn – it’s a classic for a reason. • Follow it with a smoothie bowl at their café. Midday: • Check out and transfer to Villa Cella Bella for your last night — it’s wildly romantic. • They’ll set up a romantic pizza lunch overlooking the river valley, with birds chirping and the jungle breathing around you. It’s private and cinematic. Afternoon: • Chill in the infinity tub, write each other a note, slow everything down. Dinner: • Final dinner at L’Osteria – handmade pasta, intimate setting, and wine. • Sit inside the courtyard for a quieter vibe. Optional: • A gentle walk around Ubud Art Market or down Jalan Bisma before calling it a night. ⸻ Tips from Madi: • Book villas at least 2 weeks in advance – especially Kayon and Cella Bella. • Don’t overschedule. Ubud is about slowing down and being present. #ubud #bali
