Indonesia
Couples Holidays

Indonesia is more than Bali, it’s 17,000 islands more. It’s dense Bornean rainforest, ancient Buddhist temples and prehistoric Komodo dragons in – you’ve guessed it – the eastern islands of Komodo and Rinca. It’s also palm-fringed beaches, eat your heart out resorts and shimmering reefs. So, whether you’re in the market for a chilled fly and flop or a non-stop adventure through busy cities, up volcanic peaks and down rice paddies, Indonesia couples holidays have more than enough to keep you both occupied. After all, they say opposites attract. So, while one of you is diving deep underwater off Menjangan Island, the other can be diving into local cuisines on private foodie tours. That’s the beauty of Indonesia couples holidays, you can make them exactly how you want them.

If your shared love language is exploring new places and treading on untrodden paths, Sumba is the place for you. An island where horses run wild and indigenous Marapu spirits loom over limestone hills, Sumba has unsurprisingly managed to remain relatively unknown. Think of it as Indonesia’s pretty little secret. Float in limpid waters, dry off under shandy sandal trees in cashew plantations and learn about local culture in kampung villages dotted across the island. And if that’s not enough, the island is also home to a plethora of eco-resorts and surf-facing hotels that’ll have you in the lotus pose by sunrise and dining on six course plant-based plates by sunset.

Special things to do on Indonesia couples holidays:

If you’re here for relaxation, we have you covered. Spend a morning soaking in rose petal baths in Ubud and afternoons in Seminyak getting deep tissue massages. On Bali’s southern coast you can indulge yourselves in head-to-toe essential oil treatments and treat yourself to salubrious facials. Or, if relaxation means teeing off on 18-hole golf courses, Nusa Dua has just the place.

Island hop to your hearts content. Head to Bawah for barefoot castaway luxury, Java and the majestic Mount Merapi for views over the UNESCO-restored Prambanan temple and Lombok for walks on the wild side, through ancient forest filled with wild monkeys and enchanting waterfalls. If you both found common ground in lung busting inclines, a morning hike up Bali’s Mount Batur will more than satisfy any restless legs. Reaching the 5600ft summit by sunrise, you’ll be treated to golden syrup-hued sights over Mount Abang and the Lombok Strait.
