Welcome back to Bali, in this vlog we're exploring Seminyak to see how it's changed. We're heading to the beach, a great cafe, shopping, a hotel for lunch on the beach but still something is different...

It's so good to be back exploring in Bali and checking out Seminyak, which is the very first place we traveled together when we came to Bali years ago! We've admittedly been to Indonesia quite a few times since those days of staying at U Paasha Seminyak, an awesome hotel in the heart of things, and over those years we've been leaning towards staying in other places more. We did want to see how things are in Seminyak these days though after hearing a few things online about it changing.
Our biggest question is about whether or not we really got to see the best of Seminyak? Like I said in the vlog, maybe we're missing something? Is there a better area of the beach? Better shopping somewhere? Less hustle and people offering us all kinds of illegal stuff?
I mean we got to see the nice villas and eat at an amazing hotel on the beach. We got the incredible coffee at Expat and tasty breakfast at Neon Palms but after that where do people go? What else should we have shown? In places like Canggu we know exactly where to go, so it's possible we're just missing the right areas but also, it's definitely a lot more salesy and run down than our last visit. If you're reading this cos you're also wanting to know, maybe head to the comments and hopefully some others have some good advice for ya! In the meantime, here's our Bali recommendations below ⬇

Just came across you Vlogs as we are planning a Bali trip. Guys, your content is amazing. Love how you show the process of things also. I feel like being an Aussie it’s nicer to hear a more familiar accent than the typical American you seem to get on KZfaq. Perfect guides!!!

Welcome aboard and thanks for the nice comment, that means a lot! Funnily enough the feedback is generally the opposite - Americans can't understand us or don't trust our opinion because we don't sound like them, so it's nice to hear the opposite haha

Have you been to LaPlancha? Down on Seminyak beach. Its an awesome place to have a coffeer or something to eat. Nice place for breakfast. Food isn't brilliant, but such a nice spot. Also for sunset, awesome place to grab a beer or some type of drink. Also The Forge is a good place for a meal or watch some sport.

I'm back in Canggu now, but was living in Seminyak 4 months ago, for a month. (Would have been cool to bump into you guys) I also noticed a lot of hustling for taxis in Seminyak, more than usual, and also in Ubud. Love Sisterfields, which hasn't changed, and also love the Truplant vegan cafe. Sadly, the Down to Earth vegetarian cafe and shop closed earlier during the pandemic. Seminyak square also lost it's little grocery shop on the first floor, which is sad. The hotels I always stay at have gone down hill, they are definitely not as clean as before, and in bad condition, with a lot of issues. Still recovering from covid I imagine. I'm staying in Canggu this time and haven't been to Seminyak since 3-4 months ago.

Hi Stacey and Dane, me and my partner are big fans of your channel. We live in Auckland and saw you guys awhile ago but were too shy to approach! We are in our early 20s and would love to travel together. I was wondering if you guys would ever sit down and do tips/advice for young couples to afford travelling? Cost of living in nz is no joke and its a real challenge to save. Just a random thought. Thank you for being awesome!

It will change the way you thnk about life and travel and costs.

The H&M was there in 2019 when I was last in Bali. I hope Seminyak picks up a bit, I am staying at the Alila in May. I must say you guys did sound fairly judgy about how it is.. Canggu in comparison has always felt a bit too "influencer central" i guess its the place to be.

@DanegerAndStacey Жыл бұрын

We totally hear you about Canggu and it's cool influencer kind of scene, there's a lot idiots. We're not experts on Seminyak though, so we weren't trying to judge and happily asked for people to comment and tell us/share with other potential visitors where the best places are. Just our experience was a shadow of what it once was there, Seminyak used to be our fav.

No where is really 'easy to go around the island' unfortunately, lots of traffic, if you drive a scooter/motorbike it's easier though. Canggu is our favourite, but the beaches are not that nice. Uluwatu is less busy and more beaches that might fit what you want!

The seasons go up and down A LOT in Bali and they don't always align with the rainy season either, if you find an article that just talks about the dry and rainy season it's not detailed enough. We think they work alongside NZ and Aus school holidays quite closely - so confirm those and avoid! Feb, March, November are 3 good months
