Seminyak Accommodation

By Moshe Adair

The bulk of the Seminyak Hotels are situated on the seafront with exceptional views of the ocean and paddy fields ; the landscape continuously changes into a more tropical country area as you head a little further north and begin to enter Kerobokan. For families, couples and other tourists looking out for a place to stay in Bali that is not your average visitor resort then Seminyak is the area to look for a hotel. Bali flights always land at Ngurah International airport and it's a quick 20 minute drive to Seminyak from there.

There are numerous sorts of accommodation available to you when staying in Seminyak, not only hotels but traditionally built villas. The rates for places in Seminyak that you're going to find here will not include cheap, budget hotels The services and quality are of a phenomenally high standard and the price lists reflect that. All Seminyak hotels will provide you with a particularly personal service, and will be offering you only the best that Bali accommodation has to give.

If you travel north from Kuta you will find Seminyak which is a more refined area of Kuta. Seminyak is a more sophisticated vacation destination in Bali, and is aimed at the couple and family tourists. You'll find this district of Kuta much quieter and laid back. There are no groups of young people hanging around drinking and making a bother of themselves. That said staying in one of the Seminyak hotels is not boring, there is plenty of entertainment on offer, but is more refined and intimate. Accommodation is commonly mid to top end and though it's a lot more costly the bargain hotels of South Kuta, the rates are very reasonable for the service and quality that you receive as a holiday maker.

Bali has created a wonderful tourism industry over the years and realizes that there are numerous different standards that various tourists are on the lookout for. The island is dotted with accommodation for all budgets, and the different areas have been separated to ensure that each tourist's particular need is catered for.

Booking a place to in one of the Seminyak hotels is reasonably easy as most of the resorts and hotels in the area have their own internet site that you can book through. Most visitors will come to Bali and stay through the dry season, April to Sept. However there are tons of people who still come in the stormy season October to March as the annual temperature is a constant 30C.

The majority of the resorts in Seminyak are exclusive and have different views and facilities on offer, if this is your first visit any hotel or villa will give you more than you would expect. Always book ahead to be sure the place you want to stay at has room for you and you do not end up staying in a hotel not to your taste.

Beware of the monkeys, they're all over Bali and will snatch anything that is hanging lose and easy to snatch including your glasses. If they do happen to snatch something ensure that they are not sitting next to a cliff and throw down some food. The monkeys will drop your item and go after the food. Even though most tourists are warned far too many don't listen and end up losing things, occasionally even expensive jewelery.
