Escape the crowds of Kuta Beach and relax on the stretch of sand that connects Seminyak’s luxurious spas, upscale hotels and oceanfront restaurants.

At Seminyak Beach you can relax in style as it is quieter and more upscale than the nearby beaches of Kuta and Legian. Spend your days sunbathing and swimming and enjoy the sea breeze on the long sandy beach. At the end of the day, indulge in fine dining in a world-class beachside restaurant while watching the brilliant sunset.

Begin your day with a stroll along the beach and dive into the Bali Sea to cool off. If you are a surfer, rent a board from a surf school. The surf is better at Kuta, but Seminyak Beach is less crowded. Afterward, pamper yourself with a spa treatment, reflexology or Balinese massage. For something special, ask for a “Boreh” you’ll be wrapped in a cloth and then covered in a warm, healing balm made from roots, herbs and spices. Finally you’ll soak in a warm flower bath to rinse it all off.

Seminyak village is full of chic stores and luxurious resorts and is known as a center for the arts. Go shopping or visit a gallery and see the works of Chusin Setiadikara, the Indonesian master of realism, or Wianta and Ugo Untoro.

While Seminyak Beach is a quieter option to Kuta Beach, you’ll still find evening entertainment, with many hotel bars and clubs within a short walk. Enjoy a live performance, sip a cocktail, go dancing or dip in a poolside bar.

Seminyak Beach is 1.6 miles (3 kilometers) north of Legian Beach and a 30-minute drive from Denpasar Airport. It is just a 15-minute drive from Kuta if the traffic is light. Drive along the road of Jalan Sunset for the best chance of getting there quickly. Stay in a villa on the beach, a spa resort or a high-end hotel. This idyllic and up-market part of Bali is for those who travel in style and comfort, so the prices are higher than in most Indonesian vacation resorts.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (124 reviews)

Villa was beautiful and it was great to have a large pool as well as the private villa pool. The view of the rice field as you come in to the resort is breathtaking. The restaurant was disappointing as the food wasn’t up to the standard of the hotel which was a shame. The hotel is quite isolated which is lovely for peace and quiet but the shuttle isn’t very frequent which makes getting around a pain. Would be great if they increased the number of shuttles a day or did it on a bookable basis as many of the other hotels seem to do. The trips they are offer are quite expensive so would recommend looking on Trip Advisor for those instead. Also everything seems to be priced in US dollars.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (18 reviews)

Garcia was a fantastic stay, exquisite room kept immaculately clean each day. Staff at the hotel were so very polite, thoughtful and professional in the way they treat their guests. The location in Ubud was great, even though it is 7km from town the hotel offer a shuttle which made the daily visit to town a breeze. This was tue first stay in Ubud for us, after many Bali holidays, and feel completely satisfied with our decision to stay in Ubud, at the Garcia. Highly recommended.

Sadly the beach is terribly polluted. It is covered in litter (single use plastics.) I couldn’t bring my self to enjoy the beautiful surf once I noticed that every large hotel and beach club on Seminyak beach dumps there sewage 10 meters offshore.

4/5 - Good

A slightly smaller and less crowded tourist beach with a popular beach club (Finn's). The beach is narrower than Kuta beach but still great for surfing and hanging out.
