Try the hot springs up north. Apart from the Banjar Hot Springs where you can rest and relax, there is also the Gitgit Waterfalls.

Couples, please avoid the pools located about 10km south of the town of Singaraja: Local folklore believes that couples who swim in these pools will break up.

Instead, lovebirds should visit the Yeh Sanih freshwater springs, which offer clear natural swimming pools with a garden backdrop. No ill omens are attached to this place, so feel free to splash around with your partner.

Also, you could go diving and snorkelling off the island of Nusa Penida, where you will find big schools of fish and sea turtles.
