Seminyak : Michelin's recommendations

Like Kuta, which lies just north of here, Seminyak has not escaped tourism-related development, but unlike its neighbour it caters to the luxury market. From the designer boutiques housed in gleaming villas to the crowds who frequent the resort, everything sparkles. The beach, however, is less packed than Kuta's since it is less immediately accessible (although the waves are just as rough, so be sure to follow bathing regulations) and there is a wide variety of good bars and restaurants.
