Would you be surprised if we told you that Seminyak has a lot more to offer than simply its over-the-top cutest little cafes and interesting shopping joints? Well, don't be! Because here is a list of 5 hippest things to do in this gem of a city precious with unique experiences waiting to be had.
Among the million different things to do in Seminyak Bali, sunsets are a definite no-brainer! Period! What more can you expect a chill session to be rather than the company of tropical cocktails (and a rooftop bar) in the jetting goodness of a bubbling jacuzzi? That's right, sundowners can get better than it already is with its mesmerizing symphony of colours!
At the rate that tourists are flocking down to the absurdly beautiful destination of Bali, it should come as no surprise that the food stories of this place are most certainly as delicious as the food itself. The thrill dining in its many eateries is the one-of-a-kind feels that they have to offer. Whether it's a living art gallery bursting with the vibrancy of batik culture, or a retro-like arcade machine and Gamestation infused back-drop you fancy for the night, Seminyak will not disappoint. Of course for a more formal dining experience you can opt for one of the many luxurious hospitality titles in the area such as Montigo Resorts Seminyak, and who knows, you could be so intrigued by the flavoursome palette that you might even end-up booking in for one of their fabulous Balinese Cooking classes!
The Santo Mikael Church is famous for its gothic-architecture, beautifully contrasted against the stunning white and blue walls. The intricate stained-glass patterns illustrate their origins dating back a century or a little over, to England. The quaint church setting and its vivaciously lit insides (and outsides) is the picture-perfect frame straight out of a Disney tale!
All you homemakers with an aesthetic eye for bits and bobs of artwork pieces, you will not for a second be bored in Seminyak. Given the popularity of the destination among tourists, naturally, there has been an outburst of vendors selling the most exquisite pieces of homeware and design accessories to beautify your humble space. The mix of bohemian, ethnic, classic and contemporary styles combined, these beautiful artefacts just about hit the sweet spot of all those passionate in the art of decorating! One trip to a local shop with their marvellous display of funky kitchen utensils, unique patterned textiles and delicate accessories made of shells and clams will have you rejoicing over the limitless talents of the local community.
After an exciting day of being up and about discovering the beauty and adventure of the Seminyak paradise, why not choose to unwind with an evening stroll along this precious beach? Who knows, if you are one really lucky person, you might even get to pose for an Instagram-worthy selfie with a friendly shelled-turtle buddy waddling across the beach in a haze to get someplace important!
