Sandwiched between the non-stop nightlife of Kuta to the south and the organic cafes in Canggu to the north, Seminyak is a quiet retreat along Bali\u2019s west coast. It\u2019s the place to go for indulgent spa treatments and boutique shopping, but that doesn\u2019t mean its beaches are anything to skip over. Leave your Bali accommodation<\/a> and pop into beachfront bars for sundowners, take a surfing lesson to catch the sets off Legian Beach, or just grab a sun chair to spend your afternoons watching the waves roll in.<\/p>\n

Bleach Club Bliss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Being on Bali\u2019s west side means you\u2019re treated to postcard-perfect sunsets every night. Find the ideal spot to soak up the day\u2019s last few golden rays at one of Seminyak\u2019s beloved beach clubs. Swim up to the pool bar at Potato Head Beach Club, dine on Italian fare while watching for the green flash at La Lucciola, or join the party at Seminyak\u2019s original club, Ku De Ta.<\/p>\n

Big Waves <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Seminyak proper isn\u2019t known for its big breaks, but it lies at the heart of a host of phenomenal surf spots.

Bring along your own gear if you want, or travel light and let your instructor set you up with a quality board, rashguard, and shorts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something a bit more low-key but still active, grab a paddle and tackle the surf on a stand-up paddleboard to work on your core, try a few yoga poses, and keep your eyes peeled for marine life.<\/p>\n

Grab the Reins<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Saba Bay feels like a slice of old Bali. Time slows down on black sand beaches framed by lush green mountains, in charming fishing villages dotted with centuries-old temples, and on distant islands rimmed by dramatic cliffs. With convenient pickup from Seminyak, you can explore it all by horseback<\/a> with True Bali Experience, whose guides help you get set up on your steed, go over basic riding tips, and then lead you on a leisurely ride through the lapping surf of Saba Bay\u2019s beaches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flyboard Flyover<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When days of lounging on the sand start to make you feel a little lethargic, keep in mind there are plenty of things to do in Seminyak and beyond that are sure add some adrenaline to your trip. Supercharge your day at the beach by strapping into the jet-ski powered deck of a flyboard<\/a> with baliKU Tours & Travel. With two jets of water blasting out from under your feet, you can dip, dive, swirl, fly, and flip through the calm waters of Tanjung Benoa.<\/p>\n
