Seminyak is a stylish resort on the southeast coast of Bali, located just 9 km from Ngurah Rai International Airport. It is considered one of the island’s most prestigious destinations, known for its upscale restaurants, trendy boutiques, luxury spas, and vibrant nightlife.

Resort features

Seminyak is an upscale district with well-developed infrastructure. In terms of prices, it comes right after Nusa Dua, but unlike Nusa Dua, it is open and accessible to all categories of travelers. Honeymooners, families with children, affluent tourists, and expats often choose this area. The resort offers a chic atmosphere, tranquility, and a wide range of leisure options.

The main highlight of the area is Seminyak Beach, stretching for about 2 km. Together with Kuta and Legian, it forms a long stretch of coastline. The sand here is soft and dark due to its volcanic origin. The entry into the water is gentle, but strong waves and undercurrents make swimming safe only in certain designated areas.

Beach zones

  1. Double Six Beach – the most popular section with cafés, bars, and lounging areas. It is the perfect spot for evening strolls and watching sunsets.
  2. Petitenget Beach – a quieter part of the beach, named after the nearby temple. This area is ideal for those seeking seclusion and beautiful landscapes.

Activities on the beach

Visitors can enjoy surfing, rent a sunbed (200,000 IDR per set), or simply walk along the shoreline. Surf schools are available, with lessons costing around 500,000 IDR per session. Beach massages are also popular, priced at 50,000–100,000 IDR per hour.

Resort infrastructure

  • Restaurants and cafés – Seminyak is famous for its “eat street,” lined with international and Indonesian dining options.
  • Spas – offering massages and body treatments, with prices starting at 150,000 IDR per hour.
  • Boutiques and shops – the resort attracts shopping enthusiasts with designer boutiques and souvenir stores.
  • Nightclubs – iconic venues such as Ku De Ta and Potato Head host lively parties with ocean views.

Useful tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season (May–October), as in the rainy season (November–April) debris is often washed ashore. For accommodation, choose villas or boutique hotels – they are perfect for a comfortable stay.

Seminyak combines luxury, style, and comfort. The resort offers everything you need for a high-end holiday: beaches, gastronomy, shopping, and nightlife.
