Written by Sofia Calvert
Holistic wellness, fine dining on your doorstep and some well-deserved ‘me’ time: feel refreshed for new beginnings at one of Bali’s five-star hideaways.
There’s nothing like a golden beach to enhance a pregnancy glow.

Read on to discover the best resorts for babymooning.
The Apurva Kempinski Bali: A pure luxury experience
The palatial Apurva Kempinski Bali is one of the island’s most opulent, sprawling across a golden stretch of beach and boasting a striking blend of traditional Javanese features and sleek modern architecture. Jaw-dropping dining experiences abound, including the underwater Koral Restaurant, set under a glass archway, and the resort’s own beach club. Plus, the ultra-chic spa offers endless sea views and the wisdom of Balinese wellness therapies. Trust a Kempinski hotel to deliver luxury on a silver platter.
AYANA Villas Bali: Private pool villas perfect for lazy days
AYANA Villas Bali is a 222-acre cliffside retreat with absolutely everything you could need at your fingertips, including 19 restaurants and 14 serene pools across the complex overlooking the water’s edge.
With a private pool in your villa and dedicated butler service available 24/7, you can choose to spend your babymoon in ultimate privacy. Soak up precious moments as a pair with floating breakfast in your villa, bask in the romance of a candlelit dinner by the beach or feel weightless with a dip in the spa’s Thalassotherapy pool.
Meliá Bali: All-inclusive bliss
An all-inclusive, award-winning beachfront stay might just be the perfect recipe for pre-parenting bliss. Meliá Bali’s diverse dining venues include a decadent breakfast buffet equipped to cater to any craving and four other venues serving Mediterranean, Indonesian and pan-Asian cuisine, all just a quick jaunt from your suite or villa. Plus, a beachfront location means days can be spent lounging under a cabana or floating in the pool with serene views over the sea.
Kayumanis Ubud Private Villa & Spa: Specialised pregnancy spa treatments
Letting time stand still in the Ubud jungle is the perfect counterbalance to the preparations and changes afoot. Boasting misty foliage as far as the eye can see, Kayumanis Ubud Private Villa & Spa is a true tropical oasis, with jungle-clad day beds sprinkled throughout its verdant expanse. But what sets this escape apart is the range of specialised spa and wellness programs created for pregnancy. Treatments are thoughtful and holistic, spanning from herbal baths and aromatherapy to river walks and spiritually guided yoga – because there are few better ways to welcome a new member of the family than with time in Mother Nature.
The Balé Nusa Dua: Adults-only relaxation
Spend quality adults-only time at The Balé Nusa Dua by Lifestyle Retreats, a couple’s retreat limited to 29 intimate villas. Each bamboo-fringed bungalow has its own private pool and shaded daybeds, an open-plan bedroom and a dedicated butler to set up a romantic in-villa dinner or recommend treatments at the spa. There are two intimate restaurants and Balinese cooking classes offered onsite, and only minutes between you and Nusa Dua’s stylish eateries – if you can peel yourself away.
Revivo Wellness Resort Nusa Dua Bali: A holistic approach to wellness
Greet your new arrival with a relaxed body and calm mind with a purposeful Mothers-To-Be program at REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort in lush Nusa Dua. Before arrival, guests fill out a questionnaire and receive a consultation call to tailor their revitalising experience. The retreat includes three personalised meals per day, daily movement classes and spa treatments, as well as mindful wellness practices. If you prefer to forge your own path, the resort is still well worth a visit, with fairytale jungle views gracing every suite, a holistic spa for moments of rest and Nusa Dua’s temples close by.
