The upscale, yet affordable, 90-room Centra Taum Seminyak Bali is a hip and family-friendly property with a peaceful location and a sleek pool with kiddy section. This property also offers a spa, poolside dining, and a rooftop terrace for yoga and meditation. The property's array of modern apartment-style units have cozy kitchenettes and balconies; some have private pools and outdoor showers. Although in walking distance to the nightlife, the hotel is slightly on the town’s outskirts. For a vacation closer to the beach, guests could try the Sense Hotel Seminyak.
The three-pearl Hotel Vila Lumbung is a small family-friendly resort complex that offers great value. Although it's located in the middle the busy Petitenget strip, it's on large grounds with expansive tropical gardens and a big outdoor pool, so once inside it feels like a tranquil retreat. The hotel offers a total of 70 Rooms and Bungalows, both of which offer stylish decor with Balinese touches. On-site facilities are great too, with an open-air restaurant and a full-service spa. While it's not on the beach, it's a 10-minute walk to the shore and the hotel also offers a free shuttle.
The 25-room Ivory Resort Seminyak is a hip mid-range property with a stylish open-air design and lovely spa -- plus affordable prices. The lushly landscaped resort offers a restaurant and bar with natural decor, an attractive pool, and a location in walking distance to shops and bars. Modern Balinese guest rooms have minibars and bamboo-roof terraces with daybeds. Free Seminyak area shuttle service is available for guests who'd prefer not to walk. Guests seeking a larger property with more extensive amenities may want to consider the Vasanti Seminyak Resort.
