Seminyak is a beach town in South Bali north of Legian and Kuta.
The next town north of Legian, Seminyak is more upmarket with mostly luxury accommodation and fashionable high-end restaurants and bars.
The atmosphere is much more sophisticated and laid-back than Kuta, and the beach in particular is quieter during the day.
Seminyak is also the high-end spa and boutique shopping capital of Bali.
Nowhere is the upscaling of Bali more obvious than here.
Understand of Seminyak
It is hard to imagine that only ten years ago this was a distinctly separate village and something of a backwater.
Development has occurred at an astonishing pace, and as well as absorbing all green space that formerly separated Seminyak from Legian, it is now almost impossible to determine where Seminyak ends and the nearby villages of Petitenget, Umalas and Kerobokan begin.
This certainly has its downside, and the whole district has become very congested.
Get in Seminyak By car
Seminyak is part of the main west coast conurbation in South Bali and it can get very congested with traffic.
There are two main routes. From Kuta and Legian, Jalan Legian runs parallel with the beach and at its western limit, becomes Jalan Seminyak.
If at all possible try to avoid this road though and take instead the eastern bypass called Jalan Sunset.
This is almost invariably the quicker route from Kuta and Legian into Seminyak, although it is further in distance.
A prepaid taxi from the airport to Seminyak costs a fixed Rp 60,000. Trips to or from Kuta cost around Rp 30,000 and from Legian about Rp 15,000.
Get around of Seminyak
The streets of Seminyak are increasingly jammed, with Jalan Laksmana being a particular black spot. Your best options here are to walk or rent a motorcycle/bicycle.
Several roads in Seminyak have alternative names.
Whilst this issue is not exclusive to Seminyak, it does seem to happen here more than anywhere else in Bali.
There follows a list of road names with the most popular given first and the alternatives afterward in brackets.
• Jalan Arjuna (Jalan Double Six, Jalan 66)
• Jalan Raya Seminyak (Jalan Raya Basangkasa)
• Jalan Dhyana Pura (Jalan Caplak Tanduk)
• Jalan Laksmana (Jalan Oberoi, Jalan Kayu Aya)
• Jalan Pantai Legian (Jalan Blue Ocean)
• Jalan Mertanadi (Jalan Penjara)
