There is literally something for everyone here and not to mention its fantastic location nestled in Ubud’s centre.

Indra Deluxe Room
During our stay at Honeymoon Guesthouse, there were many choices of rooms but we opted to stay in the Indra Deluxe room and we were so happy we did as it suited us perfectly.
The room itself was super modern and very spacious with a queen sized four poster bed, Balinese themes running throughout and the bathroom was breathtaking. We had out own balcony seating area with table where we could relax in the mornings and evenings while getting ready or having some food & drinks.
What you get
It was air conditioned, with a desk, free toiletries, towels, mosquito nets, daily housekeeping, bar fridge, tea & coffee making facilities, as well as a water dispenser.
There are many other styles of rooms which you can check out here.
Activities
Yoga & Relaxation
Have a go at some Yoga. They offer relaxed, personalised classes that focus on the wisdom to be gained in this spiritual, health-giving practice.
Treat yourself to a day of pampering at their highly regarded Spa & Wellness centre with Traditional Javanese Lulur, Balinese Boreh Spice Ritual, Aromatherapy Facial, Anti-Aging Facial, Swedish Massage and Stone Massages. You will be guaranteed to be left feeling utterly relaxed and not wanting to move for days.
Cooking Classes
This was so much fun and I highly recommend giving this a try and dabble at some traditional Balinese cooking. Each day they have a different form/theme of cooking and you can sign up to anyone of these. Classes are part demonstration, part hands-on and are held in the lush grounds of the Second Honeymoon Guesthouse. It was particularly interesting to learn about the exotic herbs and spices used in ceremonial and everyday dishes with a focus on their unique healing properties. A lavish Balinese feast is then prepared together and enjoyed with homemade hibiscus tea.
The Swimming Pool
One of my favourite parts about Honeymoon Guesthouse was the pool. It was large, plenty of sun loungers and surrounded by exotic plants, Balinese statues and a great way to cool down from the hot sun. I found that it was often empty and you could have the whole place to yourself which was fantastic!

Summary
This place is absolutely beautiful and I am so glad that we chose to stay here for a few nights – its definitely worth it!
The room was spectacular, with traditional but modern Balinese influences and amazing views right from our bed. The guesthouse itself is super welcoming and the staff are so friendly, they can honestly not do enough for you to make your stay that little bit more comfortable than what it already is.
The sea water pool and Wellness Spa are hands down the best part about Honeymoon Guesthouse! The location was amazing and with the added tours that are available it honestly has everything you could possibly wish for.
If you are in Ubud and you want to have a unique experience, I would highly recommend Honeymoon Guesthouse!
