Seminyak is Bali’s famous upscale beach resort area. While exotic and colorful, the town is full of world-class designer boutiques, celebrated restaurants and cool nightlife spots that attract well-heeled tourists. Seminyak also has some of Bali’s most glorious beaches. Five kilometers long, wide, and with smooth gray sand, Seminyak beaches are lined with luxury resorts and hotels as well as upscale restaurants. It is the place to see and be seen – everyone is fashionable and stylish, and it is definitively not for budget travellers and backpackers. Visitors watch spectacular sunsets from the beachfront of the Potato Head Beach Club or from the rooftop of one of the city’s most fashionable bars. The undercurrents are strong, so swimming is risky and surfing is best left to advanced surfers. A wide expanse of sand is perfect for horseback riding, and there are often colorful religious ceremonies conducted on the sand.
