About Seminyak

Towards Bali's southern corner, sleek Seminyak has long been synonymous with oceanfront luxury. Famed for its beautiful beach hotels, buzzy nightlife and superb surf, the area is popular with couples, groups of friends and families on holiday, as well as being home to a burgeoning community of international residents. Accommodation options range from affordable party pads to gorgeous private villa hideaways, with the best places to stay in Seminyak set moments from the town’s enormous sandy beach.

Some of our Seminyak collections:

Sink your toes into the sand at Seminyak Beach or Petitenget Beach, where you’ll find ample opportunities for sunbathing, seaside strolls and surfing. Many hotels are happy to arrange lessons with expert instructors; this is a great place to hone your wave-riding skills. Those less eager to hire a board will find beach clubs and lively bars aplenty, promising cracking cocktails and uninterrupted sunset views. Venture into central Seminyak for designer shopping at the boutiques of Japan Laksmana, or to pop into art galleries and eateries. As is the case across Bali, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to rejuvenating spas and yoga classes, too.

Kick back poolside in the afternoons, feast on fresh seafood in the evenings or don your glad rags for a big night out. The legendary Potato Head Beach Club is not to be missed; its stylish suites and studios are amongst the best places to stay in Seminyak.

Travel information

  • Most visitors arrive at Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport — which is also sometimes called Bali International or Denpasar International — a major hub for Australia and South East Asia. If you’re coming from Europe or the US, you might need to travel via Jakarta Airport. Speak to your hotel about arranging an airport transfer, or hop into one of the many airport taxis on arrival, pre-paid at a ticket booth just before the duty-free area. The airport is just over 30 minutes' drive from Seminyak.
  • Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
  • Close to the equator, tropical Bali is hot and humid year-round. July - August and the Christmas holidays are the most popular time to visit, but you'll find good weather and good deals April - June and in September, outside the rainy season but without the crowds.
