Whether you come to Bali for a few days or a few weeks, Seminyak beach remains an obligatory crossing point for all tourists. Chic, glamorous and flashy, the Seminyak Beach attracts for its bars, beach clubs, villas and hotels but also its long beaches which give everyone the opportunity to try surfing, try out some Beach Clubs and enjoy the magnificent sunsets. Seminyak beach is golden sand stretching 3 km (1.8 miles) and some with black volcanic sand, as far as the eye can see on this west coast of the island is a pure wonder for any lover of sunbathing, swimming or surfing.

In the evening, from 5.30 p.m., the beach becomes St Tropez, with thousands of people settling into the colorful poufs to watch the sumptuous sunset over the Indian Ocean.

The beaches are indeed very wide, very extensive, and the atmosphere is festive day and night. So inevitably, street vendors take advantage of this to offer you watches, tattoos, clothes, jewelry, massages all the time (for this last point, don’t hesitate to let yourself be tempted). These untimely requests are often painful to manage but they perfectly reflect the agitation which reigns in Kuta.

If you’re not into wave sliding, maybe you’ll be tempted by a game of football with the young people of the area. And if all that has given you the cravings, there too you will easily find something to satisfy for only a few rupees. Another little happiness, the sunset, which between five and seven, illuminates the waters and the sand with a warm light in orange tones.

To do: Taste the benefits of a massage under the expert hands of Balinese women for an unbeatable price.

To see: The superb sunset which offers an unforgettable spectacle every evening between 5 and 7 am.
