SEMINYAK BEACH
Seminyak Beach is a world apart from its neighbouring beach resort areas – the likes of Kuta and Legian to its south – chiefly in the type of crowd it attracts.

TANJUNG BENOA BEACH
Tanjung Benoa, like many other beach-side destinations in Bali, used to be a fishing village and an old dock.
