Hotel Katamama

Contributed by Anne & Clemens @ Travellers Archive
The Hotel Katamama is a tiny bit off the main tourist places of Seminyak and comes with a very special charm. The slogan of the place is “Welcome home“ and they really live for this idea. For the most interesting part, everything that is used in this design hotel was made somewhere in Indonesia: the bed, the couch, the TV table, the carpet, every single item in your room is either from Subawa, Flores, Bali, Java or another island of the country.

All fits to the idea of traditional manufacturing methods and all items are perfectly implemented into the hip design of the hotel. Imagine that even the 1.6 million bricks (yes, you have read that right) with which the building was built were made by hand by Indonesian artists. To make it your home, the hospitality of the hotel staff is unparalleled. The check in process for example is made in your room, just to give you an idea of the hotels uniqueness.

COST: One Bedroom Suite starts at about USD$370+ per night
TAKEAWAY: Boutique artisan hotel build on Indonesian traditions

The Oberoi Bali, Seminyak

Contributed by Gordy @ Short Holidays and Getaways
With total beach frontage on one of the holiest and loveliest beaches in Bali, and set on 15 acres of landscaped lawns, one of the first things you notice at The Oberoi Bali is the striking yellow and purple umbrellas. This is because this luxury hotel in Seminyak says ‘the devil is in the detail.’

It is all about service at The Oberoi Bali. Service is everything and making sure you are very well looked after, is what it is all about. They even organized our computer cables, tying them neatly, and correctly with cable ties. They folded clothes left around, bought ice creams to the poolside to us, and skewers of fruit throughout the day.

All of the public areas are immaculate, and the restaurants and bars are stunning serving excellent food. But it is the service where they shine. The Oberoi Bali is one of the best hotels in Seminyak and does suit everyone, and obviously, wealthy people go there, and spoilt travel writers who are working with them.

COST: For a Luxury Villa with Ocean View, prices start at USD$775. For a Lanai Room Double or Twin with Garden View, prices start at USD$350.
TAKEAWAY: For the perfect luxury stay where you get pampered at every turn

Contributed by Paula @ Contented Traveller
Peppers Seminyak Bali is a charming luxury resort, located down a quiet little lane, but within easy walking distance to the shops of Seminyak, to the beaches and Potato Head Club and Ku De Ta. It is a quiet little oasis where you can select from 1, 2 3, 4 and five bedroom luxury villas which are some of the best villas in Seminyak and are the perfect Bali accommodation.

Peppers Seminyak Bali is an ideal venue for a group getaway or a romantic retreat.

W Hotel in Seminyak

Contributed by Marianne @ Mum On The Move
The W Bali is one of Seminyak’s most trendy & swanky hotels, and is the epitome of luxury accommodation. All 237 rooms, suites and villas are super-stylish, with cutting-edge features, such as the state of the art BOSE sound systems that are pre-loaded with Ibiza-esque soundtracks to get you in a holiday mood.

The highlight of the W Hotel is the beautiful tiered swimming pool, surrounded by palm trees and boasting views straight out over the Indian Ocean – perfect for a Bali sunset. The grassy lawn is dotted with four-poster double daybeds, while the poolside terraces see people lounging on chic circular sofas and squashy beanbags.

Woo Bar is where it all happens later on, with stunning sunset views and a revolving line up of international DJs spinning the decks into the small hours. Read the Full Review Here.

Villa Tropicana, Seminyak

Contributed by Keri @ Our Globetrotters
Traveling with a multi-generation family group to Bali we want somewhere to stay together, yet not be in each other’s space all the time (and without completely breaking the bank!).  Our little paradise is Villa Tropicana, tucked down a small side alley off Jl. Kayu Aya.    

You are about a 15 minute walk to the beach here and only 2 minutes to the shops and Seminyak Square, although you’d think you’re hidden away in the forest!  The villa has 4 large bedrooms – 2 up and 2 down – each with ensuite and extra mattresses are available (can sleep up to 10). 

A communal kitchen and living area are open plan on to the garden and private pool making it social but also private if you need it to be.  A wonderful housekeeping lady visits you in the morning to help cut down the house work and breakfast can be ordered, but still the convenience of a full kitchen and washing machine if you want to self-cater. 

Traditional styling with a really homely feel, this is a great family group option. A free airport transfer from Ngurah Rai international airport is also offered and the villa is only a short drive from Waterbom Bali and Sanur Beach if you want to get out and explore the surrounding area. The monkey forest in Ubud is also a great day out to keep the kids entertained if they need a break from the pool.

COST: 4 Bedroom Villa cost approximately USD$300+ per night.
NOTES: Perfect for families or large groups

Alila Seminyak Bali

Contributed by Maria @ Travel With Maria
Seminyak is a place in Bali somehow known for noise and traffic that’s why most prefer to stay in farther, peaceful locations. However, there’s one luxurious award-winning five-star beachfront hotel called Alila Seminyak Bali that offers a wonderful respite for those who can afford to pay more. I suggest getting a Deluxe Suite covering 72 square meters with a stunning view of the ocean.

Mid Range Stays ($70-200 per night)

Royal Beach Seminyak

Contributed by Rene @ Together We Roam
There are plenty of shiny chic resorts that entice in Bali, however it’s the Royal Beach Seminyak, Bali that gets our vote.
The Royal Beach Seminyak’s winning combination of sprawling lawns, mammoth lagoon pools complete with fountains and spa, affordable roomy suites or interconnecting rooms and superb beachfront for sumptuous sunsets makes for an ideal holiday. Splurge a little and stay in a deluxe private pool villa where you get both the space and privacy as well as a personal butler, without losing the luxuries that comes with staying within a resort complex.

What we love about it is the traditional Balinese décor that gives the resort a timeless appeal. The styling does not date as glaringly as slightly older contemporary themed shiny resorts, that require constant updates to keep it on trend.

On any given week there are organised activities, scrummy meals in the main pavilion and decadent room service. Although if you tire of the resort food, there are choices all along the main street of Seminyak nearby, award winning restaurants are a cheap taxi away or enjoy a stroll along the beach for some good tunes and casual beach side Bali food, and all within a short ride of Bali airport.

COST: 1 Bedroom approximately USD$140+ per night.
TAKEAWAY: Traditional & Timeless right on Seminyak Beach

Courtyard Bali Seminyak Resort

Contributed by Kate @ Rolling Along with Kids
Staying at the Courtyard in Seminyak is a great choice for a central location close to shops and restaurants. It is located 400m from Seminyak beach and if you find it too hot in the heat to walk to the beach, the hotel has a buggy that will take you to the beach area just for hotel guests.

The layout of the hotel focuses around one huge pool that has something for everyone. If you are after fun and a few drinks, the pool bar is the place to be. Families can also enjoy a splash with the kids down the other end of the pool which is conveniently located close to the kids club.

The rooms are modern in style and are perfect for holidaymakers that like the comforts of home. The pool access rooms are perfect for a stress free holiday and is only steps away from the pool. One of the highlights of the hotel is its buffet breakfast. So much choice and coffee orders taken as soon as you sit down!

The Courtyard Seminyak suits families and couples that like fun, a great central location and value for money.

COST: 1 Bedroom approximately USD$150+ per night.
TAKEAWAY: Upscale hotel in a contemporary building is a 5-minute walk from Seminyak Beach

Dash Hotel Seminyak

Contributed by Shandos @ Travelnuity
Top of my must-do list for my recent visit to Seminyak was hanging at the ever-cool Potato Head Beach Club. But with my budget not stretching to the price of the adjacent hotel, I looked for something affordable close by, and discovered Dash Hotel Seminyak. Not that Dash doesn’t ooze plenty of hip vibes.

With its street-art touches, wacky sense of humour and red atrium swimming pool, this is a hotel with a strong personality, best suited for a younger audience. As well as being close enough to Potato Head to saunter over when the pool bar opens each morning, it’s also close to the excellent dining and shopping in the rest of Seminyak.

Up top it has its own casual rooftop bar, with plenty of happy hour drink specials. And there’s also a great restaurant on-site, with an excellent array of breakfast options. Rooms start from about $80 USD per night, although it’s worthwhile spending an extra $10 USD extra for a deluxe room or to include breakfast (or both!). It’s one of the best budget hotels in Seminyak!

COST: 1 Bedroom approximately USD$80+ per night.
TAKEAWAY: Funky & Colourful Boutique Hotel on the outskirts of Seminyak

Four Points by Sheraton Seminyak

Contributed by Aneesha @ Om Nom Nirvana
Four points by Sheraton Seminyak. It has a glorious pool and is very well maintained. Great for people on the SPG loyalty program as they can get 20% off dining. They also offer shuttle service to the famous Potato Head beach club and is walking distance from some awesome cafes and boutiques.

The shuttle also has stops in the main bazaar. The staff is kind and remember you by name! I loved the breakfast there, it’s gluten free and vegan friendly. It’s quiet enough not to be disturbed by anyone else and hosts an in-house spa as well.

COST: 1 Bedroom approximately USD$70+ per night.
NOTES: Located among the rice paddies on the edge of Seminyak, this iconic resort oozes laid back luxury at very reasonable rates.

Anantara  Vacation Club

Contributed by Erin @ Explore With Erin
If you’ve never stayed at a vacation club, now’s your chance. I mean a vacation club isn’t too different from a resort, however at Anantara the villas provided loads more space than your typical hotel room. There are 18 Balinese-style villas in Anantara’s vacation rentals selection consisting of one, two or three bedrooms, each with a private pool and courtyard.

It’s nestled in a quiet part of Seminyak down a long driveway. It felt so secluded, like you were miles away from anything, but in fact you weren’t. (Kuta Beach is just a short drive away for example!)

The complex is delightfully easy to navigate with an outdoor bar/restaurant and swimming pool. And to make your holiday more comfortable there is also a free on-site laundry and gym.

My favorite part though would have to be the various activities to choose from each day. From guided tours of Balinese temples to treasure hunts for kids to cooking classes.
Don’t be fooled by the term “vacation club”, this resort style Seminyak accommodation is a beautiful spot to visit when in Bali Indonesia.

COST: $300+ per night

Ping Hotel Seminyak

A small hotel that packs a big punch, the PING Hotel is a basic, budget hotel within 5-10 mins walk of the beach and lots of great bars and restaurants. Staff are friendly, beds are comfy, rooms are clean and the air con is great – a real plus when you want to escape the heat and humidity. There is also a pool on site with space to sunbath around, but as the building surrounds it, the sun is only on it for a small part of the day.
COST: $20-30 per night
