Bali is an island in South Indonesia, located east of Java and west of Lombok. Bali is in the Southern Hemisphere, only a few degrees of latitude below the equator and it is one of the many Indonesian archipelagos in the Indian Ocean. Bali is Indonesia’s main tourist destination and there it’s very common to stay in more than one different area, since the island is very big and the attractions stay far away from each other. Besides Ubud and Canggu, the other region we chose to stay in Bali was Seminyak. And we strongly recommend this area for you to stay as well.

Every part of Bali seems to be a different city. Canggu is only 20 minutes away from Seminyak and both regions have nice beaches, a good commerce and services infrastructure, but we lived two different kinds of experience on each of them. So, besides choosing from 2 to 3 different cities to stay in Bali, the second tip to book a hotel there, is to prioritize the areas below Ubud. Ubud stays basically in the center of the island, north to the capital Denpasar, and it’s considered Bali’s cultural heart. We don’t recommend to stay in the north of Bali, since most attractions and the best beaches stay in the south. And like I said earlier, you take much time going from one place to another.

Seminyak is located on the west coast of the southern region of Bali, and it is the most sophisticated beach resort area in the island. Seminyak is a very modern part of Bali, surrounded by boutique shopping streets and fine-dining restaurants. Besides, the region is full of beach clubs, spas and wonderful hotels. If you’re looking for something to do between sunbathing sessions, you’ll find a good selection of distractions in Seminyak.

People also go to Seminyak for its tasteful nightlife. Besides, the region is focused on beach clubs, where you can have a drink with your feet in the sand while appreciate the amazing sunset. And the hotel we chose to stay, Dash Hotel Bali, stays only five minutes away from Potato Head, one of the most famous beach clubs in the island, where many people join together everyday to admire the sunset. We stayed in @dashbali and we loved.

Finally, the third advice to find a hotel in Bali is to search for good references and take a look at the evaluations on sites like TripAdvisor, Booking and Hotels.com because there you can have a real idea of how your stay will be. And the Dash Hotel Seminyak has always excellent reviews.
Bali is known for its many lovely rice fields, for its swings, beaches and waterfalls, for its mountains and forests, for its Hindu temples and yoga retreats and because of its world surfing championships, beach clubs and amazing night life.
In Bali the traffic is chaotic. So we don’t recommend to rent scooters or a car. The greatest tip is to hire a local guide to take you on the trips. We did all our tours with the travel agency Onmywaytobali and we strongly recommend it. They made us a detailed itinerary and took us to all of our tours.

In Seminyak we also used the app GoJek, the southeast Asian uber. You can download it on your phone.

If you look for a different place in Bali, next to the beach and surrounded by stores, good restaurants, bars and beach clubs, then Seminyak must definitely be on your list of places to stay in Bali. Like I said before, Seminyak is Bali’s most sophisticated beach resort area, where you can find many stores, bars, restaurants, luxury hotels & spas and also beach clubs.

In Seminyak is very important that you choose an well located hotel, so you can do many things just by walking. This was only one of the reasons why we chose to stay in Dash Bali Hotel, since it is close to some of the best shopping, nightlife and restaurants in the area. Dash Hotel is a boutique hotel in the heart of bustling Seminyak, located just opposite the famous Potato Head and within walking distance to internationally recognised bars, restaurants, nightlife and beach.

We got in love with Dash Hotel Seminyak as soon as we got there. Its exterior and interior decoration are fun and very different.

Besides, Dash Hotel fits well for business trip too. We loved this kind of hotel, perfect for all kind of travellers!

 

We were very well welcomed in Dash Hotel Seminyak. During the check in they gave as a very good welcomed drink with refreshing towels. The attendance of the whole staff was perfect since the beginning until the check out.
