So what better way to immerse yourselves in each other than to spend a few nights in the Honeymoon Suite at Ulun Ubud?

Complete with stunning, unobstructed views of valley and the river below, this lover’s retreat is a lesson in tranquility and coziness. (And have you ever taken a bath in a deep-soaking stone tub overlooking the jungle?)
