The beach paradise of Bali is where some of the best holiday memories have been made for travellers from around the globe. For the urban Indian traveller, the location and setting works perfectly for a short or long holiday. So, whether you like hopping between tourist spots or beaches, gorging on Indonesian or continental cuisine, staying in hostels or hotels, spending time partying or reading on the beach, Bali has something for everyone.
Seminyak and Kuta are two of the most popular areas in Bali, and most people will tell you that a visit to both is a must. But the vibe of both places is quite different, and where you should spend more time depends on the type of traveller you are. Traffic also poses quite a problem, so although you can visit Kuta on a low budget, you need a high level of patience to manoeuvre your way through the crowds and traffic, especially in the peak and festive seasons.
The soul of Kuta is its busy beach. Rows and rows of colourful beach bags dot the beach, where you can park yourself for almost the whole day. Watch the sun go down and then quickly make your way to one of the beach bars for a drink or two, coupled with Indonesian or continental food.
Tuban, Legian and Seminyak are within very close distance, so you can allocate a few days to the beaches that may be relatively less crowded in these areas as well. However, the road along the beach is usually jampacked with cars and pedestrians, so get off a little before the beach and make your way past the hodgepodge on foot. Unlike Seminyak, which caters to a slightly more exclusive read: affluent clientele, Kuta is a jumble of affordable cafes and restaurants.
Cheap tourist cafes, fast-food joints, chain eateries, and local haunts are a frequent sight. When it comes to food, sandwiches, burgers and pizzas are what people usually gorge on here. Take your pick from the flurry of watersports available to try on Kuta Beach. From the plush Anvaya Beach Resort Bali to budget accommodations like Asana Agung Putra Hotel and everything in between, Kuta can offer a wide variety of stays depending on your budget.
For those with a sweet tooth, Bali has you covered! Most traditional Balinese desserts are based around rice or rice powder and coconut milk. Our favourites are Bubur Sumsum coconut rice porridge , Batun Bedil rice flour dumplings in brown sugar sauce , and Laklak Balinese pancake. Our opinion: Food is pretty much the same quality in both resorts, although the costs can be slightly more expensive in Seminyak.
This round is a draw. Seminyak Beach, on the other hand, is the most fashionable beach in Bali, with beautiful white sand stretching for over 3 km. The whole area gives off an air of quiet sophistication, surrounded by luxury resorts and high-end dining facilities. Our opinion: Although we love to be at the centre of things, the beaches at Kuta are sometimes too crowded. So, for us, Seminyak wins the beast of beaches title.
BTW: If you fancy checking out the opposite of white sand, read our guide to the black sand beaches of Bali! Hanging out at the beach and the bars! Both are amazing resorts, with great options for tourists. Kuta is definitely more of a party town, with lurid bars and non-stop clubs. Seminyak, on the other hand, is a little bit more romantic and private. In Bali, that place is definitely Seminyak, and so today Seminyak takes our top prize. So the real answer is to visit both places for yourself, and make your own decision!
