Seminyak Hotels
The majority of the Seminyak hotels are situated on the seafront with exceptional views of the ocean and paddy fields; the landscape gradually changes into a more tropical country area as you head a little further north and start to enter Kerobokan. For families, couples and other tourists looking for a place to stay in Bali that is not your average tourist resort then Seminyak is the area to look for a hotel.
There are various types of accommodation available to you when staying in Seminyak, not only hotels but traditionally built villas. The rates for places in Seminyak that you are going to find here will not include cheap, budget hotels. The services and quality are of an exceptionally high standard and the tariffs reflect that. All Seminyak hotels will provide you with a very personal service, and will offer you only the best that Bali has to offer.
A hotel room will always provide you with a breathtaking view of some aspect of the island, whether it is the ocean or the tropical surroundings. All hotels will have their own restaurants for your dining needs and at least one bar for you to relax in. 24 hour room service will be standard and the rooms themselves will be very well equipped and beautifully designed. Seminyak villas may be built out of traditional materials on the outside, but inside they will have all that you would expect from an up market holiday resort, cozy with home comforts that are very modern to make your stay as relaxing and pleasurable as possible. If you opt for a private villa, you will have access to a private beach, without the large crowds associated with places like Kuta. A private swimming pool will be set amongst the beautifully kept tropical gardens. There are always common lounges where you can mingle with other guests and enjoy other views of the island.
If you travel north from Kuta you will find Seminyak which is a more refined area of Kuta. Seminyak is a more sophisticated holiday destination in Bali, and is geared towards the couple and family tourists. You will find this district of Kuta much quieter and laid back. There are no groups of young people hanging around drinking and making a nuisance of themselves. That said staying in one of the Seminyak hotels is not boring, there is plenty of entertainment on offer, but is more refined and intimate. Accommodation is commonly mid to top end and although it is a lot more pricey that the bargain hotels of South Kuta, the rates are extremely reasonable for the service and quality that you receive as a tourist.
Bali has created a wonderful tourism industry over the years and realizes that there are many different standards that various tourists are looking for. The island is dotted with accommodation for all budgets, and the different areas have been separated to ensure that each tourist’s particular need is catered for.

Activities in Seminyak
Seminyak does not have many of the recreational facilities that nearby Kuta offers and you would need to drive for about 15 minutes if you wanted a round of golf. This keeps the area more peaceful and relaxed and if you desperately want to do some ten pin bowling then you don’t have far to travel. If you want to hire a car, visit Kuta car rental for cars or Amerthanda if you prefer riding on a motorcycle.

The course is open from 06:00 am to 10:00 pm. info@southkutabeachbali.com to let you play when the heat of the day is a lot less.

Bali Slingshot
Bali Slingshot is not for the fainthearted. This is an attraction that has been built and is managed by an Australian company. The whole idea is to get strapped in and get shot out 52 meters into the air at a massive 5 G’s. The whole thing lasts about 1 second, but seems like a lifetime, this is an awesome experience.
One experience that Seminyak does have to offer is the
