Think of Seminyak as the more mature version of neighbouring Kuta. Instead of party-loving crowds and all-night ragers, Seminyak has become an escape for Bali's expat community and their creative pursuits. Art galleries, boutique hotels, stylish beach clubs and open-air restaurants are just the start of what makes Seminyak among the cooler Bali towns.
One of Seminyak's greatest draws is its beaches, whose golden sands see far less crowds than its neighbors. From dawn to dusk, you can watch surfers tackling the waves, horseback riders tracing the waterline and traditional ceremonies where attendees dedicate offerings to the gods. From Seminyak's sands, you'll hardly ever be out of sight of a stylish beach club or two. Ku De Ta and Potato Head are particularly legendary, with bars, restaurants and pools that face the sunset.
For a glimpse of Balinese culture, pay a visit to the Petitenget Temple – a centuries-old Hindu structure near Petitenget Beach featuring a large courtyard lined with shrines. Shopping in Seminyak is another local pastime. On Jalan Laksmana, the village's main shopping strip, you'll find independent boutiques selling everything from high-end clothing to artisanal jewellery to furniture.

Seminyak is extremely crowdy, from early morning until night. Nevertheless is a nice place to stay for enjoying beach, sun, bars, restuarants, nightclub, but also peacefull small warung or coffeshops in the rice fields.

Depending on your taste you can decide if you want to stay here or not. If you are in Bali to experience the real Bali culture then the best place to stay will be Ubud. Seminyak is just like any other western country (a slightly cheaper version of it). I did not see much of it since even our driver was not fond of taking us there since he knew our taste is different. We ate at the property we were staying and that restaurant was good. It is easy to get around Seminyak since all things are near to where we stayed. I would still avoid this place for my long stay since this is only suited for staying for a few hours or maybe a day.

It is a bustling area for sure, nice shops, tones of good restaurants and safe, we took day trips, therefore didn’t spend all our time, but the hotel we stayed at was of the best and path, it was an oasis, so it was a perfect stay with a bit of everything
Great shopping.

Great shopping. The stall holders are not pushy and there isn't any people pushing you to buy and follow you as they do in Kuta. The beaches are great. Variety of restaurants gives you a great choice.
