Explore Bali Nature

  • Seminyak Beach

    Seminyak Beach is a majestic 5km stretch of brown sugar sand, where you’ll find lifeguards, beach bars, five-star hotels, beach clubs, and Seminyak’s very best restaurants just footsteps from the waves. Beginning on the outskirts of Kuta, trailing all the way up to the coastal corners of Canggu, Seminyak Beach is a holiday destination in itself.

  • Tanah Lot

    The dramatic and venerated sea temple of Tanah Lot (16.5km) is perched on a craggy wave-lashed rock just at the edge of the frothing white surf and glistening black shoreline. Dedicated to the sea spirits, it is probably the most photographed sight in Bali, especially in the late afternoon when its splendid profile is silhouetted against the setting sun.

  • Kintamani

    Take a daytrip to Kintamani (59km) to see one of Bali’s most photographed volcanoes. Here, you can enjoy locally harvested coffee or an Indonesian buffet lunch while marvelling at the spectacular views of Mt Batur and the crescent-shaped Lake Batur, set within the gigantic caldera of an extinct volcano. Mt Batur is Bali’s second most sacred mountain after Mt Agung.

More Activities

  • Shop 'til you drop

    Browsing and shopping in Seminyak’s designer fashion boutiques can occupy days of your holiday. Tropical panache collections feature ethnic chic designs executed in richly garnished silks, diaphanous chiffons and strong, deep colours, perfect for Bali’s glamorous night scene. Head to Jl Raya Kerobokan for a wonderful selection of homeware stores, art galleries, furniture emporiums and curio shops.

  • Jari Menari

    Jari Menari (800 metres) is a superb, zen-inspired facility devoted almost entirely to massage, including the super-indulgent four-hand massage. The highly trained, predominantly-male practitioners focus on rhythm, flow, and long connective strokes, with strong, firm, consistent pressure. The semi open-air massage rooms are elegant and full of natural light, each bordering a koi fish pond. Massage classes are also available.

  • Learn to Surf

    Learn how to surf with ASI accredited Santai Surf School (4.1km), offering lessons at Double 6 Beach, Seminyak. Here, the surfing conditions are ideal for beginners as there are always waves rolling into the shore in a pretty straight line. With some good guidance, you’ll be able to stand up on your board by the end of your first lesson.

Book Villa Anaya Manis
