Written by Ollie Sungkar

Surrounded by upscale beachfront hotels and resorts, Seminyak is a world of its own with a fun array of hangouts, delicious range of culinary options, as well as amazing art galleries and world-class shopping venues. Let’s quickly glance through the following places that can make the most of your stay in Seminyak.

  • Seminyak Beach
    An ideal venue for surfing, Seminyak Beach is the picture-perfect oceanfront featuring gorgeous sunsets. Stroll along the side streets and you’ll find rows of nice boutiques and dining venues. At night, popular gigs enliven scene at entertainment spots there.
  • Petitenget Temple
    Jl. Petitenget
    Known as “Pura Petitenget” by locals, this centuries old temple is one of the very few cultural sites in Seminyak. The temple’s red bricks and sandstones somehow give a feeling of antique. Going upstairs is the courtyard housing shrines and small pavilions draped in typical Balinese chequered cloths.
  • Potato Head Beach Club
    Jl. Petitenget, T:+62 361 4737979, www.ptthead.com
    It’s a very popular spot for a laidback fun by the pool, so you’d better come early to secure a cabana. After enjoying the sunset with cocktails and nibbles, you should head for a dinner at one of the three restaurants; Potato Head Bistro, Lilin (serving Asian style of tapas) and Tapping Shoes (French fare).
