Where is Seminyak?

Location wise, there are a few distinct areas in Bali for most tourists, each with their own characteristics, and some more relevant than others (especially for Bali holiday Villas). Seminyak is the most popular spot for tourists and holiday makers, in Bali Indonesia!

Where is Seminyak Close to?

Kuta is the most well known, but caters mainly for the 18-25’s set, letting their hair down. It tends to be busy and pretty noisy – not everyones cup of tea, but it suits the younger set!

Sanur and Nusa Dua are also popular, but they can be largely resort style driven, and you can tend to get locked into a resort – some can be a bit isolated, as they look to extract extra dollars for food and services during your stay. This is often favoured more by the Asian foreign tourist, who likes the one stop shop or those that suffer from the ‘we always stayed here when we were growing up’ syndrome. Sanur is an older area, whilst Nusa Dua has some of the more newer and larger resort styles. It is a bit isolated though, nothing too much there except the resorts, so you can feel a little ‘locked in’

Canggu is about 30 mins to 1 hour north of Seminyak, depending on the traffic, and is the newest area of rapid expansion in Bali – it is also popular with the younger 18-25 set, due to it’s many bars, restaurants, and beach clubs/nightlife – but it can be a little too busy for some people looking for peace and quiet, and the traffic can be a nightmare around the area, with narrow access roads causing daily congestion.

Seminyak on the other hand, provides a more laid back offering, catering more for the over 25’s, as well as a more family oriented and perhaps more sophisticated alternative, with a plethora of boutiques for shopping and the full range and styles of restaurants, cafe’s  or local warungs to satisfy any taste or budget. This is where you will find a lot of the nicest Bali villas.

Seminyak is also home to many of Bali’s more popular bars and familiar night clubs, from down to earth Aussie style pubs, to the more sophisticated such as the famous Ku De Ta for the happening  crowd.

There are also many family oriented outdoor bar/restaurants on the beach, such as Potato Head for dining, swimming (pool or beach) or just chilling – catering equally for singles and families, and close to Seminyak Bali Villas. Villa Bugis Bali villas are in locations in Central Seminyak that are close to all the action, but where you can escape back to your own private space with peace and quiet. Definitely the place to be!
