First time going to Bali? If so, then locking down where you’ll be staying as well as which beach will be best for you are key items that you should check off your list first. Make a poor choice and your holiday may not be as good as you thought it would be.
Bali is not a very large island. However, each area and beach has its own features. One area may not have a vibrant nightlife but more than makes up for it with its laidback settings and quiet environment. It’s highly advisable to consider the low and high points of each area before picking a location to stay in. Here is one area to consider when looking for a place to stay in Bali
Place to Stay in Bali
Seminyak
This area is known for its amazing beaches as well as the many beach resorts, beach clubs and sunset venues that are found along its main streets and coastline. Here, you can find some of the most amazing restaurants on the island, many of them located on a single street named Kayu Aya or Jalan Laksmana.
As you make your way down to Camplung Tanduk or Jalan Dhyana Pura, you’ll find bars lined up one after the other. This street is perfect for bar hopping as they are not only fun and entertaining, but are also open to everyone regardless of gender.
Seminyak is also known for its shopping options that include both brand shops as well as designer boutiques.
Seminyak is ideal for travellers who are moderately wealthy and who are not too keen on crowded beaches. This area is also great for those who would still like to experience a good nightlife, minus the rambunctious crowd. Most people who go here like it because of the wide range of villa resorts and hotels as well as the variety of upmarket dining and party scenes.
Some downsides that come with staying in Seminyak though are the traffic that piles up, especially during the tourist high season (between June and December), and the need for lots of walking as things tend to be quite spaced out.
When it comes to where to stay in Bali, you will find very many different options in Seminyak. A hotel, a villa resort, a homestay and everything else in between. The choice is all yours! It all just depends on how much you are looking to spend. When all is said and done though, you can be sure that you will have a great time in Bali.
