1. Revolver, Jl Kayu Aya No 3 Oberoi Seminyak, +62 361 788 4968 

This small funky little space is certainly off the beaten track. Located at the back of ‘This Is A Love Song’ concept store on Jl Oberoi you will be impressed with what we think is the best cup of coffee on the island. Small but playful yummy breakfast menu, we love their ‘double barrel’. 


2. Sisterfields, Jl Kayu Cendana, No.7, Oberoi, Seminyak, +62 361 9050507 

HOT NEW CAFÉ with an yummy food and cute decor. This Melbournean style cafe with the oh-so-chic decor is the coolest new boutique in Seminyak. Showcasing fresh pastries, salads and sandwiches along side an all day breakfast/lunch menu. Everything on the menu is exceptional including the coffee. For a healthy lunch we recommend you try the fresh salad bar. Fully air-conditioned too with an outdoor courtyard.

3. Sea Circus, Jalan Kayu Aya, No. 22, Seminyak. 

If you’re looking for a colorful venue, you definitely should check out Sea Circus. The breakfast menu is superb and if you like ice cream, this funky cafe will provide you with yummy flavors on a hot and sunny day!

4. Anomali Coffee, Jalan Kayu No.7B Seminyak. 

If you're a self confessed coffee addict, you've got to pay a visit to this cafe. With beans originating from Sumatra to Bali to Aceh and even Java, Anomali will give you a taste of coffee Indonesia.

5. Betelnut, Batu Bolong 60, Canggu, +6282146807233 

Feel like taking a drive? We promise it's worth the visit. Raved among local expats to have quality food, Betelnut brings you a great healthy breakfast place. The atmosphere is ‘old school Bali’ with a view of the rice fields and a nice breeze. And if you're up for dessert, ask for their brownies as they're absolutely delicious!

5-Bedroom Villas in Seminyak Support Growing Manta Ray Tourism in Bali

6:37 AM Unknown


In general, private villas can be pricier, with additional taxes and charges bundled into the luxurious amenities. Some establishments are more forthcoming with these; tourists must be clear on how much they’re paying and for what.

In addition, only a few owners of 5-bedroom villas in Seminyak assist visitors in finding the best shops and resorts, thanks to their knowledge of the locale and the country’s regulations. Visitors should find villa operators who know the latest developments in the island’s tourism industry.

Luxury Villas in Seminyak: One of the Reasons Why Tourists Love Bali

6:37 AM Unknown


After a long day of fun and exploration, however, tourists need a comfortable place where they can wind down. While they can book hotel rooms for accommodation, they should also consider staying at private luxury villas in Seminyak. These places differ from hotels in that guests transact directly with the property owner; as a result, they can expect higher quality service and greater savings since there are no booking agents to serve as middlemen.

Some operators in Seminyak have 4 bedroom villas too, so guests will never feel cramped, no matter how large their party is. Like hotels, these places also have luxury amenities such as massages and beauty treatments that rejuvenate people for another day of sightseeing.

No Mascots Here: How Bali Family Holidays Enrich Children’s Education

6:37 AM Unknown


Another great family-friendly attraction is the sacred Uluwatu temple, where one of Bali’s most celebrated dance traditions is performed daily at sundown. Here, kids can get a glimpse of a cherished Bali tradition. Kids can also take a break from their usual meals at home, like meatloaf or macaroni and cheese, and enjoy Balinese cuisine, like Nasi Goreng (literally ‘fried rice’ in Indonesian), which is steamed rice mixed with green vegetables, seafood or chicken, and topped off with fried egg.

Saving up for family vacations is difficult. In this regard, parents can make the most out of their hard-earned money by considering a gorgeous destination like Bali, which offers great bonding and learning opportunities for the children. Parents can book a family accommodation in Bali through reliable companies like Baali Villas, which have a variety of world-class properties that are within walking distance of Bali’s top attractions.
