Sitting pretty between Kuta and Canggu, Seminyak is what you might call Bali’s polished playground. Here, beach clubs line the sands, designer shops are a staple, and cocktail bars reach their peak as the sky turns pink. High-end restaurants with might run rampant, but this popular Bali destination is also all about those surf schools at Double Six Beach, massages by rice paddies, and slow strolls down Eat Street for a spontaneous nasi goreng lunch. Whether you're chasing beachside brunches or a a all-day spot by the infinity pool, Seminyak wraps all you need into one stylish package.
