Visit Seminyak
How Long to Stay
In my opinion, Seminyak is somewhere you could at least spend one day exploring the shops, restaurants, & bars.
If you want a quieter area to stay, I recommend staying in Canggu but traveling to Seminyak for the day.
How to Spend your Time
🍽 Eat
Eating is one of the highlights of this area, and these are my favorite places, in no particular order.
🛍 Shop
Seminyak doesn’t have a shortage of shopping available all around.
Be sure to check out Laksmana Street (Jalan Laksmana), home to some great coffee shops, and also has great shopping. I haven't been here yet but would love to go!
💆 Relax
Beach or Pool Day
There are tons of beaches in the area, or you might have a great pool at the place you're staying. Make time to chill out!
Get your hair done
One of the top, fun spots to do so is Blow Bar. They serve cocktails while you're getting your hair done!
Get a massage
For cheap spa treatments, just look on the side of the roads. It can be pot luck how good it will be, but you’ll be able to get cheap treatments: around $6-$12 USD for a full body massage.
Or, for something a fancier, check out:
🏄 Surf or Yoga
Seminyak is along the beach so has surfing options and plenty of yoga studios all around.
🎥 Cheap movie
There are loads of theatres about & they can be pretty cheap to visit - a great way to get out of the rain.
🧑🍳 Cooking Class
You can do this anywhere in Bali but I’ve found Seminyak to be a particularly great area for cooking classes.
You can hire a cooking instructor to either come to your villa or you can go to one of the communal classes. Some classes actually take you through to the markets so you can look at the fresh ingredients of the day, see how they shop, see the ingredients that they choose, ands so on.
🌅 Watch the sunset
I absolutely LOVE sunsets, and catching them is one of the best things to do in Seminyak. You can just go to the beach yourself, or grab a drink at a local beach bar. This is a super popular one where you can grab a table:
🕺Go Out
Bars and nightlife are a fun option here. A few spots I like are:
