The brilliantly-named Mrs Sippy Bali is a veritable oasis in the heart of bustling Seminyak. This beach club hosts some epic pool parties, where guests dance the night away to tropical tunes spun by big name DJs and local starts. Mrs Sippy is home to the largest saltwater pool on the island, and very instagrammable it is too.

Order up one of the most elaborate signature cocktails from Mrs Sippy’s expert mixologists and just wait for your incredibly instagrammable drink.
Sea Circus
Sadly, Sea Circus isn’t an actual circus. However, it is an amazing restaurant, cocktail bar and coffee shop, that we highly recommend you visit! We couldn’t talk about Instagrammable places in Seminyak without mentioning this incredible space. Even the outside of the building is ready and waiting for its big moment on camera.
You can’t miss this show-stopping spot in Seminyak. Look out for a brightly coloured beach shack style building, painted in a stunning mural of turquoise and pink, complete with a neon pink bench outside.
Venture inside and you won’t be disappointed, as the interior is just as decorative. Stay a while and enjoy a coconut latte or scrambled vegan tofu, or push the boat out with a taco and a freshly made margarita. Whatever you order, you know it’s going to look good on Instagram.
Nalu Bowls
For the world’s most instagrammable smoothie bowls, you absolutely must visit Nalu Bowls. This totally tropical retreat can be found in several Bali locations, including the most recently opened one in Seminyak.
The smoothie shacks cater to health-conscious travellers and locals alike, serving up the most refreshing and delicious fruity delights. However, it’s the presentation that really makes this place stand out. Look out for the most colorful, well presented smoothie bowls you’ve ever seen; it’s an instagram-lovers heaven.
Jalan Raya
No trip to Seminyak would be complete without a lazy afternoon spent browsing the local shops and market stalls, on the hunt for unique souvenirs and gifts for your nearest and dearest. Jalan Raya is Seminyak’s main shopping street, and it’s where you’ll find all sorts of intriguing items being sold, from homeware and decor to fashion, as well as delicious local food and treats to take home.
This street is always buzzing with action, and it’s the perfect place to get a real taste of Seminyak. Take the time to snap some of the action as it unfolds, you never know what you might see. And don’t forget to grab a souvenir, either. You’ll want to remember this trip, we promise you!
Neon Palms
Neon Palms is one of Seminyak’s newest bars, and you’ll find it above the brilliant shopping boutique that is the Bali Boat Shed. With its show-stopping tropical theming and beautiful pastel color palette, it’s set to become a big thing on Instagram!
The brand new space can be hired for private events, and regularly hosts star-studded events. There’s a vast list of cocktails to choose from, accompanied by a decadent menu of tacos and tapas. You can also visit for breakfast, which is served from 8am.
Vihara Buddha Dharma
Culture is a key part of the wonder of travelling, so why not embrace local traditions and religion during your time in Seminyak by visiting one of the region’s many Buddhist temples. Vihara Buddha Dharma is a breathtaking place of worship frequented by local people. It has stood tall beneath the Banyan tree since 1876, and the site itself has a rich history, having been visited by the 14th Dalai Lama in 1982.
This is a typical example of a Balinese temple, so you’ll get the full experience, complete with the aroma of burning incense emanating from the central altar. Remember, as this is a place of worship, it’s imperative that you are respectful to others if you do choose to take photographs at the temple. However, if you do so you’ll be sure to get some wonderful shots, as the temple itself is breathtaking, and full of amazing little details like traditional Balinese offerings.
