The Beautiful Views In Ubud Captured In Eat, Pray, Love Movie

A town in central Bali, Indonesia, Ubud is regarded as the cultural centre of Bali. It is popularly known as an arts and crafts hub, and much of the town and nearby villages seem to consist of artists' workshops and galleries. There are also quirky little cafes and restaurants, bookstores and spas as well as villas for rent and remarkable architectural sights that are found in this centre of art and dance in the foothills, Ubud Bali.

Far removed from the drunken bikini scene in Kuta, where one experiences a general feeling of well being and tranquility while enjoying some of the most creative eateries and one of the most attractive temples in Bali, it is no wonder why American author Elizabeth Gilbert's 2006 memoir, Eat Pray Love Bali, has explored the art of pleasure and devotion in this part of the island paradise of Bali.

Ubud features quite heavily in the heroine's search for fulfillment in the memoir book, set in Ubud Eat Pray Love, that talks about the author's experiences when she came to the island at the end of her passage, searching not for romance but for balance between worldly pleasure and devotion. In Gilbert's four transformative months on Bali, she has toured Ubud Hanging Gardens and the cliff-top Ayana.
