Seminyak Facts

Not far from Kuta is Seminyak. Much more an up market area with trendy restaurants and bars. More an area for couples rather than families and this is reflected in the number of resorts offering family facilities.

Some of the best restaurants and most popular nightspots are here, but you don't want to walk around looking a cheap place to stay. There is some goods mid-range accommodation. There are also houses and bungalows to rent by the week or month.

Little by little Seminyak is coming into its own as an area to be reckoned with. The restaurant scene in Seminyak is vibrant and eclectic while the area's nightclubs have set the pace in Bali for some time now - this is where you go after you're done all you can in Kuta.

Perhaps for this reason the area has become a magnet for designers, both local and international, and many small hotels and villas have been built in Seminyak reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of the area.

Canggu is more or less an extension of Seminyak, as some folks - either try to escape the crowds or just came late to the party and found Seminyak a bit too expensive - have continued the Kuta sprawl north.
