Petitenget Beach
Of course you can’t go to Seminyak without taking a trip to what is one of the most stunning coasts on the island. Petitenget Beach is Seminyak’s main beach, and it’s named after a temple just 100 metres away. Those looking for romance will love Petitenget Beach, as it’s much quieter than some of its neighbouring shorelines, such as Kuta and Legian.
While away an afternoon walking up and down the shores with your partner as the sea laps at your toes, or huddle into one of the beach’s many fabulous beach bars to enjoy a sundowner as you feast your eyes on the beautiful sunset. There’s no better way to kick off your romantic escape in Seminyak.
La Plancha
No romantic trip is complete without a fun, colorful beach bar and that’s where La Plancha comes in. La Plancha is often named as one of the top beach bars in the world, and once you visit it you’ll soon see why. It’s situated right on the beach, and you can’t miss its bright, bold colour scheme, and sea of beanbags and Balinese umbrellas on the sand. La Plancha prides itself on its Spanish cuisine, and it was the first Chiringuito-style restaurant and bar in Seminyak. Don’t miss the delicious grilled meat dishes and traditional Spanish delicacies served up the bar’s celebrated chefs.
Once you’ve eaten, grab a beanbag on the beach and while away the evening with a few drinks as you enjoy traditional Balinese entertainment, including live bands, singers and much more. As the sun sets the party atmosphere really comes alive at La Plancha, it’s a wonderful spot to enjoy a romantic evening in Seminyak.
Ku De Ta
Bali is famous for its beach clubs and Ku De Ta is one of the best ones to visit, particularly if you’re looking for romance. This Seminyak beach club is known for its epic parties, but it’s also a great place to spend a romantic afternoon, as it’s smaller and less busy than some of its rival beach clubs.
Arrive early and grab one of the beds overlooking the beach, and spend a lazy day enjoying Ku De Ta’s delicious cocktails as you wait for the piece de resistance: the sunset. Ku De Ta is in prime position to enjoy an unforgettable sunset - this is one Bali hotspot that’s well worth a visit.
Potato Head Beach Club
Another beach club boasting epic sunset views is Potato Head. This is one of the island’s best-known beach clubs, and with good reason.
Potato Head is an incredible place; it’s got to be seen to be believed. The modern amphitheatre-style building was originally designed by Indonesian architect Andra Matin, and is home to three restaurants, three bars, an infinity pool and vast garden, all of which overlook the ocean. The building itself is made up of a huge number of antique shutters, which were all salvaged from the island of Indonesia and brought to Potato Head for their real moment of glory! At the beach club you’ll find plenty of parties, as well as art installations and unmissable exhibitions.
So, whether you’re a party-loving couple, an arty pair or you’re simply looking for something completely different, we bet you’ll love Potato Head Beach Club!
