Bali’s Seminyak area has attracted visitors, kings and international designers alike with its picturesque beaches, high-end villas and luxury hotels and spas. On this walking tour, you’ll go off of the tourist track and down backlanes and side streets to see a side of the resort district that most people miss.

From Seminyak Beach to Petitenget Beach, I’ll share some of Bali’s rich heritage that’s often hidden in plain sight, like what the symbols carved into wooden doors mean and why there are so many statues. Along the way, I’ll share the link between Indonesian property laws and the many abandoned villas and vacant plots of land that you’ll see. I’ll point out local shops and restaurants like Kim Soo’s Homewares and Cafe, and the Sea Circus Restaurant & Bar. I’ll also show you one of the last remaining rice fields in Seminyak and tell you about the family that grows and harvests the rice.

On this Bali tour, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Find out about some of Seminyak’s famous hotels and restaurants
• See a local cemetery and traditional Balinese houses
• Browse fabulous interior decorating shops
• Visit Pura Petitenget Masceti Temple, a traditional sea temple
• Experience the thrill of finding a bargain at the Seminyak Flea market
• Have the chance to enroll in a traditional Balinese cooking class

Join me on this 40-minute walk and see another side to Seminyak. By the end of the tour, you’ll have a new appreciation for Balinese history and traditions.
