Shop in the streets of Seminyak

Bali is a paradise for shoppers too! The streets of Seminyak offer all kinds of items--from designer fashion, beachwear to jewelry, furniture, and even art. Balinese designers and brands take pride in creating fashion pieces that emanate the culture through their designs. One can often tell a fashion item that was either made by a local or inspired by Balinese culture just by looking at it. Khush Clothing is a great example of how its Bali-produced pieces take inspiration from the vibrant colors and boho beach aesthetic of Bali.

Feast on Balinese cuisine

Balinese cuisine is an attraction on its own, and diving into the local palette should have a separate food guide depending on your preferences. But make sure to add Motel Mexiocla to the list and dine in Bali’s coolest and most colorful restaurant. This Mexican-themed food joint transforms from a tapas restaurant by day to a hip bar at night. You wouldn’t want to miss out on this unique food experience.
