Goddess Retreat: Fitness & Nutrition

Bali is a popular destination for travelers seeking sunshine, surf, and a taste of Southeast Asian culture. But along with the beautiful beaches and colorful markets, Bali also has a reputation for a not-so-pleasant experience known as “Bali Belly“. This stomach bug, which can cause symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and fever, is often linked to contaminated food or water. However, with some smart precautions, it’s possible to minimize your risk of getting sick and fully enjoy all that Bali has to offer. And, if you’re staying at Goddess Retreat, you can rest assured that our farm-to-table, organic meals are prepared with care and attention to minimize the risk of Bali Belly.


Here are some tips for avoiding Bali Belly while traveling in Bali:


  1. One of the easiest ways to prevent Bali belly is by drinking bottled or boiled water instead of tap water. This includes avoiding ice cubes made from tap water and not using tap water to brush your teeth. Consuming contaminated water is a common cause of Bali belly, so it’s important to be cautious.
  2. Another way to prevent Bali belly is to eat cooked foods that are served hot. Raw or undercooked foods, as well as salads or fruits that may have been washed with tap water, can all contribute to the development of Bali belly. Choosing reputable restaurants and cafes can also help reduce your risk of consuming contaminated food.
  3. Good hygiene practices can also help prevent Bali belly. Make sure to wash your hands frequently with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. This can help remove any germs or bacteria that may be on your hands and prevent them from entering your body.

Finally, it’s always a good idea to bring anti-diarrheal medication with you in case of emergency.

If you do experience symptoms of Bali belly, it’s important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, sports drinks, or coconut water. You may also want to try eating bland foods, such as rice, bananas, or toast, to help ease your stomach. Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and spicy or fatty foods can also help alleviate symptoms.


At Goddess Retreat, we take food safety and hygiene seriously, and we use only fresh, organic ingredients that are carefully prepared to provide our guests with the best possible experience. Our farm-to-table approach ensures that the food we serve is safe, healthy, and delicious. We’re confident that our commitment to quality and safety will help our guests avoid Bali Belly and enjoy their stay in Bali to the fullest.
