Food Scene

The mixed bread was warm and crisp and a good entree. The pasta dishes were well cooked and simply presented. The wine selection is quite good and reasonable prices for Bali. The staff are attentive and friendly. Well worth trying especially if you want a break from the usual fare on offer. A table in the front affords a great spot to people watch and the fans make it very pleasant.

La Lucciola is something of a legend in Seminyak, with waterfront views and a location next to the Petitenget Temple. The restaurant is always busy, and is usually packed until late at night. During the day, the beach gives access to the restaurant, while in the evening, it is accessed from the parking lot of the temple, via a wooden bridge lit by lit torches. The menu changes constantly with every innovation the chefs undertake, but with an emphasis on traditional Balinese flavors.

Tanah Lot is a hermitage on the west coast of Bali, between Sanur and Ubud. Obviously a must visit place! It is a rock in the water, where a monk had settled. The large waves of the Indian Ocean come to break there tirelessly. You cannot access the place, you can only admire it from the beach. The site is truly magnificent! Do not hesitate to go up the path to the left and sit on one of the many terraces that dominate the place! We really can't get enough of the show! One of the highlights -among many others!- of your stay in Bali! Legend has it that the sage once went to the rocky promontory that was then Tanah Lot, connected to the moor by a natural stone bridge. Captivated by the spectacle of the ocean caressing the banks and by the backwash of the waves, the man would have decided to spend the night there... And in the early morning, in total harmony with the sea stretched out in front of him, he decided to build the temple to pay homage to this element of nature. Even today, the caves dug by the waves at the foot of the cliffs that surround it are said to be inhabited by sacred serpents, descendants of the former protectors of the site.

There are Pepito Markets all over Bali, but the best in Seminyak is the one located in Petitenget. Limited but fresh stock of fruit and vegetables, dry goods and pharmacy items. Pretty much everything you need while on holiday. Give the butchery section a miss and go to Prime Cut or Frestive instead. Small but reasonably priced selection of wines and spirits with car parking out the front and located across the road from one of my favourite bars, Ling Lings. Address: Jl.

Arts & Culture

Purpa Art gallery scores big on many points compared to other Art galleries in and around Seminyak. To begin with the art pieces are handpicked by Ari Purpa (the owner) and clearly she has an eye for good stuff. Unlike other galleries that we visited in and around Seminyak, Purpa Gallery had the most diverse range of Art type and also was the only gallery with a wider range of art, from collector’s pieces to low-cost yet interesting choices. The main thing you realise once you’re there is that a lot of the art is different from what you see in all the other galleries in Bali and that itself makes this gallery unique.

As a uniquely beautiful space that exhibits artwork from multiple artists living and working in Indonesia. The woman working at the gallery was incredibly helpful and informative, and we genuinely felt free to explore and cherish the space without the pressure of buying anything. I would highly recommend checking it out if you want a sense of the type of art being created by both national and international artists living in the region.

One of the only real ‘attractions’ in Seminyak as such is Pura Petitenget which is one of six important sea temples in Bali. The temples line the coast from Pura Luhur Ulu Watu which is on the Bukit Peninsula and stretch to the most famous temple in Bali which is Pura Tanah Lot in the west of the island. Petitenget means ‘magic box’ and this is a reference to a magic box owned by a priest called Nirartha who would have lived in the 16th century. The priest regularly visited the temple which is why it was named after the magic box. Revered temple built to ward off dark forest spirits; traditional dress & fee required for entry.
