Here's all you need to know about the hip 'hood of Seminyak – your personal guide to one of Bali's most popular social, shopping & sunset scenes
Whether you’re a Bali regular or just heard it through the grapevine, Seminyak is where it’s at for a bit of glitz and glam in the snazzy centre of South Bali. Upmarket and uber popular, this buzzing Bali neighbourhood is spilling with cool cafes and hip restaurants, plus cool beach bars, fab cocktail lounges, swanky villas, ritzy resorts and plenty of spas for your ooh-and-ahs.
But first – where is Seminyak?
Perched on Bali’s southwest coast, Seminyak is the island’s chic, cosmopolitan playground – eight kilometres away from Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport. It’s the prime location to base yourself if you’re looking to explore all of the ‘hood’s best restaurants and shopping areas, with easy access to other areas of Bali. Depending on traffic and the time of day, you can easily trip to Canggu just 20 minutes from Seminyak, or catch a glowing sunset on Kuta Beach, 30 minutes away. Or within an hour, you can even head to the east to Sanur’s coast.
Is Seminyak worth visiting?
Absolutely! If you love beach clubs, bars, boutique shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene, then Seminyak is worth every minute of your visit. It’s a stylish mix of tropical vibes and upscale chicness. You can spend your days lounging at beach clubs like Potato Head, or indulging in some of Bali’s best restaurants, like Mama San and Merah Putih. By night, Seminyak transforms into a buzzing hotspot with famous cocktail bars and nightclubs, like Motel Mexicola and La Favela. Seminyak really does have it all, making it a must-visit destination on the island.
HIP SEMINYAK GUIDE: Where to eat, stay & play
1. Spend the day at Mrs Sippy
Every Seminyak itinerary needs to begin with one thing: a day spent poolside at Mrs Sippy. It’s Bali’s Mediterranean-inspired oasis where Seminyak’s coolest crowds flock to eat, drink and leap from the Insta-famous diving platforms. Mrs Sippy’s glittering pool is one of the largest lagoon pools in Bali, and days here are spent lounging on private cabanas and daybeds, grazing on wood-fired cuisine. Think buttery soft grilled chicken burgers, fresh poké bowls, and yummy dips to swap and share, plus all the signature cocktails and happy hours. Keep the tropical vibes alive with the Sippy Frosè, and stick around until late for Mrs Sippy’s regular roster of iconic pool parties. If there’s one thing to tick off your Seminyak bucket list, this is it.
Mrs Sippy Bali, Jl Taman Ganesha, Gang Gagak 8, Seminyak, p. +62 821 4500 1007, [email protected]; Open daily 10am – 9pm.
2. Sundown in Seminyak style
Seminyak is one of the best spots to catch the sunset, so a must-do here is ending each day on the beach with an icy cold beer or signature cocktail to help you take in the golden glow. Unsurprisingly so, Seminyak Beach is lined with epic sunset bars, but not just your average bar – you’ll find some of the most glamorous bars in Bali here slinging the finest wines and bubbles, alongside toes-in-the-sand icons that place you just footsteps from the ocean.
3. Wine and dine at HUGE Restaurant & Bar
Sleek, stylish and adorned in eclectic artwork, HUGE is one of Seminyak’s must-visit destinations from day to night. Head in early for lunch and soak in the chic, one-of-a-kind interiors. Then as day turns to night and the lighting dims, wander into the soundproof bar for pre- or post-dinner cocktails surrounded by magnificent designs. As dinner beckons, the restaurant is paraded by bountiful seafood platters, zesty ceviche and red snapper crudo, before giant a Australian Tomahawk steak takes centre stage. Mix and mingle with fellow foodies, and don’t leave without spotting the pièce de résistance, AKA the dramatic Balinese ceiling that showcases the island’s finest craftsmanship.
HUGE Restaurant & Bar, Jl Batu Belig No. 4, Kerobokan, Seminyak, p. +62 813 3753 6604; Open daily 12pm – midnight.

2. La Lucciola
Seminyak’s original, simplest and possibly most loved beachfront institution. It’s a little bit of ‘old-Bali’ in the best way possible, before high-tech and high-stylin’ took over. Here’s where you’d head for Mediterranean fare and a huge selection of wine. It’s impossible not to love “La Looch”, with its always amazing service, legendary food and excellent views. We love that it’s one of Seminyak’s only places with no wi-fi – just like Bali used to be.

But don’t be fooled – the ingredients are only tip-top quality sourced from around the country, and the standard is world-class. Couple that with the upscale interior and you’ve got yourself a resto you’ll never want to leave.

4. Ijen
Set inside Bali’s most progressive beach club, Ijen at Potato Head is Indonesia’s first ever restaurant that follows a zero-waste philosophy. Their ocean-fresh seafood is simply sublime, caught locally using a hand-reeling process and classically grilled over an open fire. It’s a remarkable eco-conscious space, with equally exceptional dishes, like Crudo served with fermented green chilli, smoked cream and ink cracker, alongside a range of creative veggie dishes and some of the best local sambals we’ve ever tasted.
Ijen at Desa Potato Head, Jl Petitenget No. 51B, Seminyak; Open daily 12pm – 10pm.

Beachy, chic and also home to one of our fave Sunday brunches in Bali, this fabulously fresh seaside restaurant is a must-try, with sublime Japanese-infused dishes.

7. Lacalita
Like the salt to your tequila or the beans to your burrito, Lacalita is the heart and soul of Seminyak’s Mexican scene. Arguably the original Mexican cantina that kickstarted the island’s love of loaded tacos and mega margaritas, Lacalita (formerly Lacalaca) is a buzzing joint that comes with kick-ass and unpretentious vibes, dishing up modern Mexican food with a twist. Think generous servings of locally sourced fresh ingredients, traditional spices direct from Mexico and home-made tortillas too. The kicker?

Bali may have a ton of good after-dark clubs but many of them sadly lack soul or style. Enter La Favela – an eclectic bar and restaurant unlike its other glittering counterparts. Its décor counteracts its name (meaning Brazillian slum), where antique furniture lines its floors, plants seem to be (artfully) overgrown and even old bikes and a Volkswagen van rounds off the appearance. Oh, and more beautiful people than at a Victoria Secret’s casting. The weekend parties here are legendary affairs – almost like fun house parties even. Highly, highly recommended. Get there.

But us, we especially love the tunes and getting our groove on the dance floor after dinner – margarita in hand, gracias!
