Girls Guide to Bali

Bali has been at the top of my bucket list for years. Ever since I visited Tulum and heard people say the two are similar, I knew I had to experience Bali for myself. If you know me, you know how much I adore Tulum. Bali has the same paradise meets boho chic energy with its perfect blend of jungle and beach. Both Bali and Tulum are hotspots for yoga, meditation, and holistic healing, and are filled with spaces that feel earthy, natural, and in harmony to the surrounding nature.

Both destinations attract wellness seekers and travelers chasing good vibes and magic. This bucket list trip to Bali was my own little Eat Pray Love experience but make it girly & pink!

The Ultimate Bali Bucket LisT:

Ubud

Liyer Spirit House – Get a palm reading or blessing from the son of the very same healer who read Julia Roberts’ palm in Eat Pray Love. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that feels spiritual, grounding, and cinematic all at once.

🌾 Tegallalang Rice Terrace – The famous rice fields are knowns for a reason, the views are lush and picture-perfect. Rent a flowy dress and take a ride on one of the giant wooden swings that soar over the fields.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga at The Yoga Barn – If you’re looking for peace and grounding, The Yoga Barn in Ubud is the place to be. Classes range from gentle flows to soul-deep meditation, and the setting feels like a jungle sanctuary.

🎨 Art & Culture – Explore local art markets, galleries, and craft villages. Ubud is the cultural heart of Bali and the Ubud Arts Market is where you’ll feel the soul of this place.

Seminyak

🛍️ Kynd Concept & Café – This pink café is what my dreams are made of. Every detail is adorable, from the decor to the custom letter smoothie bowls, making it the perfect spot for a girly brunch moment with your friends.

🌅 Seminyak Beach – Every night, people gather along the shoreline to watch the sky transform into a canvas of pinks and oranges. Lounge on a beanbag chair, watch the sail shaped kites fly in the sky, enjoy the surrounding music and feel the soul of Bali.

🏝 Finns Beach Club – Bali’s beach club scene is next-level, they have tons of chic level 10 spots pefect for soaking up the sun. Finns Beach Club is the definition of epic. Several infinity pools overlooking the ocean, tropical cocktails in matching turquoise glasses, fun DJs, and an effortless glamorous vibe that Bali does so well.

💃 Nightlife- Seminyak is Bali’s hot spot for going out with trendy bars, beach clubs, and hidden speakeasies. Seminyak has something for every night owl with live DJs and places to dance the night away. One of my absolute favorite spots was Iron Fairies. It’s the perfect spot for a girls night out. It feels like an enchanted world here with twinkling fairy lights, dark wood interiors, and mysterious ironwork everywhere. The cocktails are as creative as the décor and we enjoyed gorgeous martinis adorned with butterflies!

🧖‍♀️ Spas & Wellness – Bali is a wellness paradise. From open-air jungle spas to luxury resorts with infinity pools, there’s a treatment for every craving. Indulge in traditional Balinese massages, flower baths, sound healing sessions, or full day wellness rituals. Ubud and Seminyak are particularly famous for spas that combine relaxation with stunning natural surroundings.
