It\u2019s no secret that South Bali is the <\/em>spot for beautiful beaches<\/a>, hopping beach clubs<\/a> and five-star resorts<\/a>. It\u2019s where your biggest problem is shortlisting places to eat and sights to see. But you might be wondering, where can you have the best of both worlds: peace and quiet, yet still close to all the must-visit hotspots? That’s where Umalas<\/strong> steps in!<\/p>\n

So, where is Umalas?<\/h3>\n

Location, location, location! Umalas is the quieter neighbourhood that’s perfectly nestled between the bustle of both Seminyak<\/a> and Canggu<\/a>. We love making Umalas our home base, where we can chill in a quiet cafe overlooking a small patch of rice fields in the morning, shop in Seminyak in the afternoon, and<\/em> have dinner and cocktails in Canggu<\/a> well into the night.<\/p>\n

What is Umalas best known for?<\/h3>\n

Umalas is most popular with families and long-term expats, all thanks to its all-around warm, residential vibes. Plus, it’s home to the few remaining rice fields in the south. But don\u2019t be fooled by its size. Despite its quaintness, Umalas is packed full of places to stay, eat and play \u2013 think cute cafes<\/a>, award-winning restaurants<\/a>, hip gyms<\/a> and ultra-stylish abodes.<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s all you need to know about the lovely Umalas neighbourhood: our favourite places to eat and stay, and why it should make it on your Bali itinerary<\/a>…<\/p>\n

WHERE TO EAT IN UMALAS \u2013 THE BEST CAFES & RESTAURANTS<\/h2>\n

1. Uma Garden<\/h3>\n
\"Uma
Escape to a sanctuary of greenery and a wood-fired dinner beneath the stars at Uma Garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nestled amongst the rice paddies and surrounded by greenery is Uma Garden \u2013 a fire-based restaurant with the humble philosophy of bringing people together over real food and good vibes. Just minutes from both Canggu and Seminyak, Uma Garden is a sanctuary away from the bustle, and with its stylishly rustic ambiance and prime address on one of Umalas\u2019 most trendy streets, it\u2019s fast become the go-to neighbourhood hangout. Start your evening with a pre-dinner aperitivo in the stylish lounge as you watch the open kitchen come to life. Then, make your way to the heart of the restaurant where communal tables set the scene for mixing and mingling over honest recipes and wood-fired flavours. Try the 24-hour slow-cooked pork belly, or the Wagyu beef and juicy prawns, ember-grilled to perfection.

And you can even choose your catch from the chilled display counter, or order the imaginative plates from the menu for a taste of Chef Maurizio\u2019s culinary flair. From oysters and ceviche, to charcoal-grilled prawns and roasted octopus, Bonito Fish Bar gets three thumbs up from us.

Inside, the sleek and stylish interiors nod to Japanese-minimalism, framed by a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a library of hand-collected vinyl, and a lustrous open kitchen. The menu flows through raw and curated appetisers, like tuna tartare loaded on crispy nori, and ultra-fine takoyaki with sturgeon caviar. Move on to the gyoza-style ravioli, or the Japanese curry risotto with tender Wagyu. Pair it all with superb Japanese-inspired cocktails. Trust us when we say, you\u2019ll want to save space for the Godzilla matcha cheesecake, best enjoyed on the low-slung sofas at the Music Library, fronted by four tonnes of local Javanese limestone\u2026
