Bali is a deeply spiritual place. Every religion is practiced freely, but 83% of the Balinese are Hindu in what is an otherwise Muslim nation. Ubud has become a yoga and healing Mecca, with renowned yoga studios and many incredible raw/vegan cafes and juice bars.

The movie Eat Pray Love was filmed in and around Ubud. The main character goes to Ubud looking for balance and ends up falling in love (“Love”).
