Sometimes, a little workshop goes a long way.
In a world that moves quickly, it’s easy for couples to slip into routine. Familiar can be comforting, but over time, it can also feel a little quiet. When life starts to feel more like logistics than love, it might be time to try something new together.
Why shared experiences matter
Studies have found that couples who take on new experiences together feel more connected. One research paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published by the American Psychological Association, suggests that doing unfamiliar activities can help couples grow and feel closer. This is called self-expansion. It means we grow through the people we care about, especially when we do things that stretch us or surprise us.
Bali is built for moments like this
Bali is known for its beauty, but what makes it really special is how easy it is to slow down here. With the island’s calm energy and creative culture, it becomes the perfect place to reconnect. If you're visiting as a couple, these experiences are not just enjoyable. They can help you understand each other better and feel more in sync.
Flower Arrangement Workshop
Learn how to build a traditional Balinese flower offering or a simple bouquet. It's peaceful, creative, and lets you talk and move together in a mindful way.
Ring Making Workshop
Design and shape rings for each other with a local artist. It’s a meaningful way to say “I see you” and a beautiful way to carry home a memory you both made.
Ceramic or Pottery Class
Working with clay takes patience and laughter. You’ll make something with your hands and leave with something imperfect but yours.
Tufting Workshop
If you’ve seen it on Instagram, yes, tufting is just as fun as it looks. You’ll create rugs or art together, and the time you spend in the process is where the real magic happens.
Couples Wellness Retreat at Terapung
Our sanctuary was made for this. Book a multi-day program to float, detox, and reset. Private infrared saunas, healing massages, and quiet moments in the Zen Lounge offer more than relaxation. They give you space to breathe and return to each other.
A Quiet Escape to Menjangan Island
Travel north to Menjangan Island for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway. Snorkel among coral reefs, take long walks, and enjoy the calm luxury of Plataran Resort. It’s the kind of place that gives you time to talk and simply be.
Where It All Comes Together
At Terapung, we believe in moments that stay with you. Whether you’re making something with your hands or choosing stillness, these shared experiences do more than fill your schedule. They give your relationship new energy and help you see each other with fresh eyes.
This is what we mean when we talk about the #TerapungLife. It's not just about wellness. It's about connection, presence, and giving yourself the chance to slow down together.
So if you’re planning your next trip, maybe it’s time to do something that brings you closer. You’ll leave with more than just souvenirs. You’ll bring home something stronger between you.
