SEMINYAK - KUTA

Seminyak is coming into its own as an area to be reckoned with. The restaurant scene in Seminyak is vibrant and eclectic while the area's nightclubs have set the pace in Bali for some time now - this is where you go after you're done all you can in Kuta.

Perhaps for this reason the area has become a magnet for designers, both local and international, and many small hotels and villas have been built in Seminyak reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of the area.

Canggu is more or less an extension of Seminyak, as some folks - either try to escape the crowds or just came late to the party and found Seminyak a bit too expensive - have continued the Kuta sprawl north.

Bali terror attack:
The tourism in Bali and Kuta were dealt a major blow on the 12th of October 2002 when about 190 people were killed in bomb explosions outside the popular Sari Club on Kuta
