Where to Eat, Pray, and Love in Bali

Where to Eat, Pray, and Love in Bali

Eat, Pray, Love celebrates its 15th film anniversary this August, and with literary tourism as one of the hottest travel trends of 2025, the book’s 20th anniversary in February 2026 is the ideal moment to revisit the iconic journey that continues to inspire travelers around the world.

Since the release of both the film and memoir, fans have embodied the Eat, Pray, Love philosophy – even taking to TikTok to share their experiences – in Bali, Italy, and India, making resorts like HOSHINOYA Bali the perfect backdrop for their own journeys of self-discovery. HOSHINOYA Bali allows fans of Liz Gilbert’s journey to experience all aspects of the journey in one place:

  • EAT: The property’s Market Tour and Cooking Class allows guests to experience Bali’s rich culture and heritage through visiting the local market and preparing authentic local dishes in a 6-7 hour immersive experience. Under the chef’s guidance, participants will learn how to prepare six classic Balinese dishes, ultimately savoring the dishes they’ve created during lunch, all while enjoying a beautiful view at HOSHINOYA Bali.
  • PRAY: The Banjar Walking Tour allows guests to take a guided stroll through a nearby village and discover the rhythms of daily Balinese life. Visiting ancient Hindu temples – along with royal palaces, and charming bungalow-style shops – guests can connect with the history of Balinese Hinduism. This activity is rooted in the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmony between humans, nature, and the divine.
  • LOVE: For those traveling with their special someone, the Intimate Dreamscape package offers the perfect romantic retreat for couples and honeymooners. This intimate experience is ideal for those looking to celebrate their love, with every detail carefully curated for a dreamy and romantic Bali escape. The Intimate Dreamscape package includes a candlelit Ubud Jungle Dinner, a Royal Lulur ritual at the spa, a photoshoot wearing Balinese wedding attire and more.
