social media content for RESTAURANTS
HIGH-END Restaurants, CAFES, RETREATS
A great restaurant is a full sensory world — the light at a particular hour, the steam lifting from a dish, the way a room sounds when it's full and happy. Capturing that world in a way that makes someone stop scrolling and make a reservation is not just photography. It is storytelling. At Studio LXR, we specialize in social media content creation for restaurants, resorts, and retreats across Asia, Europe, and beyond — producing photography, short-form video, and written narrative that communicates not just what a venue looks like, but what it feels like to be there. From Balinese fine dining and eco-conscious farm tables to rooftop cultural nights and retreat kitchens built on permaculture philosophy, we bring a brand strategist's eye and a photographer's instinct to every table we sit at. The following is a selection of the restaurant, resort, and retreat content we've produced — each one a different story, each one told on its own terms.
THE BOTANIST
AT THE BLUE KARMA DIJIWA, BALI
Plant-Forward Cuisine · Healing Kitchen · Wellness Retreat Dining
Perched on a hillside between heaven and earth on the outskirts of Ubud, The Botanist at Blue Karma Dijiwa is not simply a restaurant — it is the edible expression of a healing philosophy. The menu is plant-forward and deeply intentional, built around moringa, matcha, and the botanical richness of the Balinese highlands, approached with the same reverence that the property's resident Balian healers bring to their work. Breakfast here is a ritual, not a meal. Every dish arrives within a landscape of jungle ravines, rice paddies, and birdsong that no filter can improve. Our content is produced with that context in full view — the food as philosophy, the setting as protagonist, the guest as someone who came here not just to eat but to be restored. For wellness resorts, retreat centers, and plant-based restaurants seeking social media content that communicates depth alongside beauty, this is the kind of work we do.
THE BOTANIST
UBUD, BALI
HIIRAGI RESTAURANT
AT BLUE KARMA VILLAS, BALI
Nikkei Cuisine · Garden Dining · MICHELIN-Recognised Property
Hidden on a quiet lane between Seminyak and Canggu inside the One MICHELIN Key Blue Karma Village, Hiiragi is the kind of restaurant that rewards guests who have learned to look past the obvious. A Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei concept set within a serene tropical garden, it operates with the precision of a fine dining kitchen and the warmth of a family table. Our content for Hiiragi captures the full arc of the dining experience — slow mornings poolside with fresh pressed juices, warm baked goods, and the silky sweetness of bubur injin; and evenings anchored by wild salmon entrées that express restraint as a form of confidence, and grilled prime beef plates that hold their own against any menu on the island. The Nikkei philosophy — Japanese technique meeting Peruvian soul in a Balinese garden — gives every frame a layered visual language that translates directly to platform performance.
BALI ECOSTAY, ECO FARM RESTAURANT
TABANAN, BALI
Permaculture Dining · Farm-to-Table · Sustainable Hospitality Content
Bali Ecostay is not a hotel that happens to have a garden. It is a working permaculture ecosystem that has a place to sleep. Their restaurant is where that philosophy arrives on the plate — pasture-raised chickens, freshwater fish sourced from local organic farms, fruits, vegetables, and spices picked directly from the on-site permaculture garden, alongside their own chemical-free vanilla and cacao grown in volcanic soil, with electricity generated by a private waterfall and river on the property. Dining here, with views stretching across rice paddies, food forests, and — on a clear day — all the way to the Indian Ocean, is one of the most quietly radical hospitality experiences in Bali. We captured the integrity of this world without romanticizing it into something it is not. Sustainability, honestly told, is one of the most compelling brand stories in luxury hospitality today — and for eco-lodges, permaculture resorts, and farm-to-table restaurants seeking social media content that speaks to values-driven travelers, we are the right creative partner.

LEGONG TERRACE & JANGER RESTAURANT
AT THE PURI WULANDARI RESORT, BALI
Infinity Pool Dining · Ayung River Valley Views · Boutique Resort F&B Content
At Puri Wulandari, a boutique resort hidden among rice paddies and rainforest on the edge of the sacred Ayung River Valley, the dining experience is as much about where you are as what is on the plate. Legong Terrace — named for the ancient Balinese classical dance — sits poolside at the resort's infinity pool, which appears to hang suspended over the valley below, its edge dissolving into jungle canopy and river mist. Breakfast here is unhurried by design: international and local cuisine served to the sound of birdsong, with mountain peaks as backdrop and the valley deepening below. Janger Restaurant, on the upper level, offers panoramic views across the surrounding tropical landscape and a menu of fusion cuisine anchored in fresh, local produce — intimate for evening dining, extraordinary for sunset.
SUNNY 16 CAFE & Restaurant
AT THE 101 BALI FONTANA HOTEL, BALI
24-Hour Café · Artisan Coffee · Desserts · Local Flavors · Open Until 2AM
The best meal in Bali is sometimes the one you didn't expect — at midnight, after a long flight, when the island has gone quiet and everything else is closed. Sunny 16 Café at The 1O1 Bali Fontana is the answer to that specific, universal traveler's hunger: a 24-hour vintage café with artisan coffee, award-winning pastries, show-stopping eclairs and crepes, and a menu of Balinese and international dishes served with warmth and no apology for the hour. Second runner-up for Best Café at the BRBC Awards 2018, Sunny 16 has the kind of loyal following that comes from consistently delivering more than expected. Our content for Sunny 16 tells the full story — the coffee ritual, the dessert obsession, the late-night comfort of a bowl of Ayam Nyat Nyat, the golden light of an early morning that turns a café counter into a still life. For 24-hour restaurants, café concepts, and hotel all-day dining venues, this is the kind of content that earns daily traffic on social media — not just occasional peaks.
PortaBella Restaurant
AT THE 101 BALI FONTANA HOTEL, BALI
Balinese All-You-Can-Eat Buffet · Live Gamelan · Weekly Cultural Dining Experience
Some dining experiences transcend the meal. The weekly Balinese Cultural Night at Portabella Restaurant inside The 1O1 Bali Fontana Seminyak is one of them. Every Monday evening, the restaurant transforms — an all-you-can-eat buffet of Balinese signature dishes laid out with generosity and craft, while live Gamelan players fill the room with the percussive, hypnotic sound that is the sonic identity of the island. Guests return for it twice in the same stay. It is the kind of event that earns a property its most enthusiastic reviews — it is luxurious in the conventional sense, and it is genuinely, authentically, deeply Balinese. For hotels and restaurants offering weekly cultural programming, the visual story is an event marketing asset as much as a brand one.
RETREAT FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
Retreat Visual Storytelling for Social Media
A retreat is one of the most difficult experiences to photograph well — and one of the most powerful when it is done right.
Food photography drives 67% more engagement than generic wellness shots. Beautifully plated meals signal your attention to detail. Farm-to-table moments tell your sustainability story. One stunning dining shot can convert hesitant leads into bookings. The guests in these frames? They booked because of images like this. Professional retreat photography doesn't just document your experience—it sells your next one. Every plate, every sunset dinner, every shared laugh over morning coffee becomes proof of the transformation you promise. The difference between an 80% and 100% booked retreat? Often, it's the quality of your visual story. We specialize in capturing the moments that matter: the golden-hour glow on fresh ingredients, the genuine connection over shared meals, the details that make your retreat unforgettable.
KUNANG KUNANG RESTAURANT
AT THE SUN OF GRANNARY RESORT, TEGALLALANG, BALI
Bamboo Architecture · Rice Field Views · Balinese & International Cuisine · Firefly Dining
Kunang Kunang — named for the Balinese word for firefly, a small creature that lives only in clean air — sits at the upper level of The Sun of Grannary Resort in Tegallalang, its bamboo architecture framing a panoramic view of green rice fields that stretches uninterrupted toward the jungle horizon. The name is the philosophy: this is a restaurant that exists in harmony with its environment, serving Balinese and international cuisine alongside handcrafted cocktails, signature dishes of crispy Balinese herb-coated eel with banana leaf grilled rice, chef-curated set menus, and evening entertainment from traditional Balinese dancers that turns dinner into a full cultural experience. The visual language here — bamboo, rice field light, traditional dance, the golden hour cocktail hour — is rich enough to sustain a full social media content strategy on its own. Our content captures both the stillness of morning and the warmth of the evening, producing photography and reels that communicate what guests consistently describe: delicious food, great views, and a kindness in the service that is genuinely Ubud.
MARRAKECH, MOROCCO
Step into the art-infused, color-saturated world of Marrakech through our lens, where we captured the street art of Gueliz & the vibrant heartbeat of the city within Riad Yima. This collection showcases the artistic sanctuary of the legendary Hassan Hajjaj, focusing on the sensory explosion and layered design of his concept store, cafe and gallery. Our imagery does more than photograph a space; it bottles the eclectic energy, the intricate details, and the genuine sense of place, transforming it into an essential visual experience for any discerning traveler or art lover.
Authentic visual storytelling that invites the world to SENSE your place.
KECHMARA LOUNGE BAR & RESTAURANT
MARRAKECH, MOROCCO
While living in Gueliz, the French quarter of Marrakech, we discovered Kechmara, one of the best cafe restaurant & bars serving delicious French, Moroccan and monthly curated international dishes, DJ nights with global tunes, and as they like to say it Good People, Good Food, Good Vibes. Fine dining with a laid back attitude.
TOGETHER & CO
Hotel Restaurant Photography · Balinese Signature Dishes · International Cuisine ·
Great hotel restaurant content does two things simultaneously: it shows the food with enough precision to make a guest want to order it, and enough atmosphere to make them want to stay. Together & Co at the Hilton Garden Inn Bali Nusa Dua — a brand-new property opened in 2025 on the peninsula of Tanjung Benoa — does both naturally. The breakfast service is generous and carefully constructed, with Balinese signature dishes grounding an international spread that rewards a second visit. Dinner shifts the register: the restaurant finds its confidence in the evening, with a kitchen that draws from the island's ingredients and culinary traditions with sincerity. For international hotel groups and resort restaurant concepts seeking professional social media content that performs across markets, this is the standard we bring to every engagement.

AN INVITATION TO IMPACT
Work with us

We take on a small number of collaborations each season, chosen for the strength of the property's identity and the quality of the creative access on offer. What we bring is not a content package. It is a creative practice, applied to your world with full attention and genuine care. If that sounds like what you have been looking for, let's connect.
