There is everything that travelers who crave for exotics demand, and at the same time you will not be deprived of any of the achievements of civilization. If the resort, located in the neighborhood - Kutu, is called respectable, Seminyak has earned a reputation as glamorous. And not without reason.

Why do they come here

We can ask a question about how and for what travelers with money choose, arriving in Bali, Seminyak. Of course, first of all for the sake of its beach - clean, wide, with fine sand, as if it originated from advertising brochures. Housing here is also prestigious and quality. The region is convenient and compact. There is all the necessary infrastructure here, and besides, everything you need turns out to be just a few steps away. Most of the restaurants in Seminyak are awarded with different awards for the cuisine and the class of service. For art lovers, the resort has art galleries. And after sunset, a rich and vibrant nightlife begins.

How to get there

To get to this resort village, you need to fly to Ngurah Rai Airport (Bali). Seminyak is from this hub (its second name is more popular, it's Denpasar) no more than half an hour drive. Rarely does anyone get here on their own. The vast majority of hotels send customers a transfer, which is included in the price. But if nobody meets you, then you can use the services of a taxi.

Some companies provide machines to the order counter, but say it's too expensive. And if you go outside and call a taxi of the firm "Blue Bird", then pay the average price for Bali. If you use public transport, then it is not too convenient. The bus does not stop in Seminyak, but only in neighboring Kuta. And from there somewhere about a quarter of an hour you have to go to the place.

Hotels in Seminyak, Bali: where to stay?

There is simply no cheap accommodation in this resort. Rental villas starts from a hundred dollars a day. At the same time every square meter is built up. Most of the hotels are new and recently opened - after all, ten years ago there was a fishing village and rice plantations here. From luxury hotels in Seminyak recommend "Oberoi" for its comfort and location both close to the beach and shopping centers. He is very romantic, and he is preferred by couples in love.

The conceptual complex "TAOS Suites and Villas" is famous for its design rooms, and its swimming pool is open around the clock. The Quartet does not lag far behind the five-star hotels, and it's cheaper, and the service is almost the same. For example, in "Light Exclusive" each room is a villa with its own pool and several bedrooms. And in "Harris" you can get even for 1600 rubles per day. There are as many as five pools, one of which is located on the roof.

Where to sunbathe and swim

There is an opinion that the beaches here are the best in Bali. Seminyak is famous for its coast. They are small, snow-white, very wide, there is always a lot of sun. It is believed that there are two beaches in this area, but it is unlikely that someone will be able to say exactly where one starts and ends with the other. The first of them - Double Six - is called in English style, and the second - Petinenget - in Indonesian. They are all perfectly equipped, but there are differences.

Double Six will appeal to families with children. There are many water attractions, a lot of cafes and a beautiful promenade. Therefore, in the evenings, festivities are held. And Pettingenet got its name from the temple of the same name, located very close by. There are always big waves, so it is very fond of surfers. In addition, there are practically no people here. But do not go into the water if you see a red flag on the beach! This means that strong currents have come that can take you away.
