Seminyak is an island that attracts many different tourists from around the world. If you are planning to visit this stunning island, here are some must-do activities.
Most of the resorts in Bali have their own pool where you can spend a lazy day relaxing by the pool. Apart from the sunbeds most resorts and hotels have cabanas that you can occupy for the day or by the hour to have a peaceful time enjoying sunny Seminyak.
If you are a coffee lover it is a must to try the coffee served at a small shop down an alleyway. Locals and tourists alike come to this shop to taste the delightful coffee they serve. You will find a wide range of creative coffee-based drinks and a range of coffee blends that you would not be able to find on a daily basis.
If you love scuba diving but have always wanted to learn the techniques and improve your skills, you can head to the Seminyak based diving school where you will be taught how to go scuba diving. All the gear will be provided and even if you are an experienced diver an instructor will accompany you through the lesson to teach you all the details on how to become a good scuba diver. Even though, there are no locations to go scuba diving in Seminyak itself, after a short boat ride away you can come across several locations where you can put your skills to the test.
If you love art then you would love to make a visit to the Niyaman Gallery. The gallery hosts exhibit paintings and sculptures that showcase the talent and interpretation of young and upcoming artists.
Yoga is a popular past time activity in Bali and it is similar in Seminyak. Some of the hotels and resorts host classes for their guests where they can attend a class and try their hand at yoga. For those who are experienced yogis, you can join an advanced class and enjoy a relaxing time while you get to meet others from around the world. Studios @ Alila Seminyak host classes thrice a week for guests that are staying with them.
The Seminyak beach is always less crowded than the Kuda beach even though Kuda Beach is slightly more expensive. If you love surfing then Seminyak Beach is the place to head to as you will be able to rent gear, get assistance from locals and ride the waves from dawn to dusk. Apart from surfing schools you can also find instructors at luxury hotels. Seminyak is famous for surfing schools so even children can learn how to surf.
The Pure Petitenget temple is also known as the ‘magic box’ and is one of the main attractions in Bali. The temple is located on the coastline of Pura Luhur Ulu Watu which is located on the Bukit Peninsula. The area occupied by the temple stretches to another very famous temple in Bali which is known as Pura Tanah Lot.
