Introduction
Seminyak may only be just up the coast from Kuta and Legian (the other two resort areas in south-west Bali) but the atmosphere here is a far cry from the cheap hotels, bawdy nightlife and persistent hawkers that tarnish its southern neighbours.
Built along a wide sandy beach that runs northwards into unspoilt paddy fields, Seminyak is an altogether more relaxed and sophisticated affair.
World-class hotels look out across the Indian Ocean, fashionable bars serve more than just ‘jungle juice', dozens of restaurants compete to make your mouth water and quality shops and galleries make souvenir shopping a truly pleasurable experience.
