The book, Eat, Pray, Love might have been a highlight or some, but when #BlackGirlMagic touches down in Bali, the moment instantly becomes Eat, Pray, Slay. The Indonesian nation may be called the ‘Island of the Gods,’ but these women prove that Bali is an island better fit for a goddess. After checking out these photos, you’ll have no choice but to push a trip to Bali to the top of your travel list.
01
Unbothered
Brunching and unbothered is the best way to describe Demetria Lucas’ Bali mood. Head to Finns Beach Club in Canggu to create a vibe all your own.

Above It All
One must in Bali is the famous Bali Swing. Contrary to popular belief, there’s more than one place on the island to soar above it all. Rent a private villa at a B&B with its own swing, and have the moment all to yourself like Lee Litumbe.

Joyous Dance
Only Bali can make travel influencer Gloria Atanmo want to dance like no one’s watching. Dance your way through the gates of Bali at the entrance of the Hardara Golf & Resort or Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang temple. But get there early because lines for photos can get long.

Temple Goddess
The island of Bali is dotted with hundreds of the most stunning temples. Check out the famed Tanah Lot to capture a beautiful scenery just like Abena Bempah.

Cheers to Friendship
Friends who travel together, stay together, just ask Asiyami Gold. The most famous place to get your floating breakfast on is the Ayana Resort and Spa, but many other accommodations on the island offer a more budget friendly version of the experience.

Bali Bonds
There’s nothing like experiencing Bali with your squad by your side. Book a waterfall tour with Viator to coordinate an IG worthy moment with your girl gang.

Released and Renewed
Yogi Sammee Leigh knows that Bali is the perfect place to cleanse your body and renew your spirit. Stay at Maya Ubud and indulge in a wellness program that will have you shining from the inside out.

Flower Child
If there is one self care moment you must have in Bali, taking a flower bath is it. Embrace your inner flower child like Lisa Jones at spas like Five Elements Bali.
