The Ultimate Seminyak Travel Guide
If you’re looking for beach pool parties and chill vibes, Seminyak is the place. I heard mixed reviews before visiting, but personally, I loved it. There are plenty of great spots to add to your Seminyak travel guide and I think spending 2 days in Seminyak is perfect if you're short on time.
Our 7-day Bali trip started here since we wanted to do the busier spot first. We spent 2 nights in Seminyak, but only 1 full day. Since our time was limited, we wanted to see as much as possible. So that meant carefully planning our Seminyak travel guide and cramming a lot of things in before heading to Uluwatu.
If I were to do it over again, I would’ve extended our trip one day and spent a full 2 days in Seminyak to have more time at each spot. I enjoyed them WAY more than I thought I would. Some of the places we went were in neighboring towns (Canggu, Legian), but they’re close and easy to get to from Seminyak.

The Ultimate Seminyak Travel Guide
Day 1
Ize Seminyak
We stayed at Ize Seminyak. For the price, this hotel was great and decently central to everywhere we wanted to go. It's on a main street with a lot of restaurants and shopping as well. We also arranged an airport pick-up through the hotel.
Revolver Espresso
This spot was a five-minute walk from our hotel. It’s a hip coffee spot off the main street. We ordered the Killer Chiller coffee & White Chocolate coffee.
Ku De Ta
We came here for breakfast on the water. As the day progresses, it turns into a livelier beach club, but it was pretty mellow when we were there. A few of my friends have come here later in the day and they absolutely love it. I heard the sunset is absolutely amazing too!
Old Man's Bar
From Ku De Ta, we took a cab to Old Man's Bar, an old-school surfer/beach bar vibe. I've heard this spot is super fun at night too.
The Lawn
Walking distance from Old Man's Bar, The Lawn is a spot with outdoor “lawn” seating overlooking the ocean. We got spring rolls + some drinks. It's a fun, more mellow vibe. I loved it.
Finn's Beach Club
This spot is like a Vegas pool party but on the beach overlooking the ocean. When we went, it wasn't as crowded as Potato Head, but it was still super fun.
Potato Head Beach Club
One of the #1 (if not the top) beach clubs in Bali, Potato Head is so much fun. You can head there for lunch, rent a day bead, or spend time in their infinity pool overlooking the beach.
La Plancha
I've traveled to a lot of cool spots, but La Plancha is still one of my favorite places ever. If I had to recommend one place for your Seminyak travel guide, it would be La Plancha. Imagine lounging on a beanbag chair overlooking the ocean/sunset, surrounded by a beach full of people and colorful umbrellas. Add in a cold glass of wine and speakers playing old dance hits - it doesn't get much better than that. I totally would’ve stayed there all night.
Day 2
Kynd Community
We couldn’t leave Seminyak without checking out the Instagram-able, Kynd Community. This spot has super bright colored walls and serves delicious smoothies and bowls.
Sea Circus
We headed to Sea Circus for breakfast, another place bursting with bright colors and obviously circus décor. We ordered the Avo Smash + Chili Scramble that had some sort of Potato Bread as the base. It was delicious.
Grocer & Grind
Our last stop in Seminyak was Grocer + Grind for a second breakfast. We heard we had to try the breakfast tacos and they were great.
