A HUGELY COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE ON WHAT TO DO, WHERE TO GO, WHAT TO EAT.

Seminyak

Affectionally called ‘The Yak’ Seminyak is a beach resort area at the southern end of Bali, with many luxury hotels, villas and spas, as well as high-end shopping and amazing restaurants. The area has a great nightlife scene as well, with ample beach front spots to soak in an amazing sunset. It’s easy to get a cab here to anywhere and if you’re staying in the center of the Yak it’s all very walkable.
