Thinking of flying to Bali for your next holiday? Most tourists choose to stay in Kuta as the town is closest to the airport and also one of the most popular destinations on the island. However, not so far from Kuta is Seminyak, a sophisticated and lavish neighborhood filled with a plethora of stylish restaurants and bars, as well as high-end resorts and boutique hotels. Stay in Seminyak and skip the wild and overly populated Kuta. Here are some reasons why you should stay in Seminyak Bali.
1. Seminyak is a Sunset Paradise
Compared to Kuta Beach, Seminyak Beach is much cleaner and less crowded. There are more choices of beach bars and beach clubs for you to lounge and sip tasty cocktails while waiting for sundown. Think Potato Head Beach Club, Ku De Ta, or Tropicola – the most happening beach clubs are mostly found in Seminyak!
2. Experience scrumptious food in Seminyak’s famous Eat Street
From Italian, Japanese and Asian fusion, to authentic Balinese food, you will find an abundance of restaurants lined up on Seminyak’s Eat Street. Seminyak will serve you well from the celebrated Sisterfields, Mama San, Kilo, Biku, Café Organic and so many more. There are tons of delicious foods to try and a copious amount of ‘Instagrammable’ spots for your feed.
3. Go on a shopping spree at high-end boutiques
Staying in Seminyak gives you endless choices for a shopping spree! Walk down Jl Kayu Aya and you will see a strip of tiny chic boutiques from big brand names such as Uma & Leopold, Bamboo Blonde and Bali Boatshed to Seafolly and Gooseberry Intimates.
4. The location
Seminyak is still within close proximity to the airport. There’s no need to rush to catch your flight if you stay in Seminyak, as commuting only takes around 20 minutes. Even if you’d like to experience Kuta’s busy nightlife, Seminyak is still close enough for you to go out for a wild party and return to your luxurious accommodation after.
