It’s easy to travel around Bali as there are many modes of transport, and you can easily arrange a car and driver to take you anywhere. But please remember that there can be traffic jams in popular areas like Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu and Ubud, so please leave an extra hour or so for travel times during busy holiday periods and peak hour travel times.
How far is Seminyak from Canggu?
Seminyak is about a 15 to 20-minute drive from Canggu. However, traffic can be pretty congested between these two popular tourist hubs, so it’s not uncommon for a trip between these two areas to take over 60 minutes. If you like to cut travel times, you can walk on the beach from Seminyak to Canggu, which is a pleasant walk and will cut travel times, especially if the traffic is bad.
What are the most luxurious villas located in Bali?
There are so many luxurious villas throughout Bali that it’s challenging to pinpoint one specific area, but a concentration of luxury villas can be found on the west coast of Bali, from Uluwatu, Jimbaran, and Seminyak through Canggu all the way up to the new popular areas of Seseh and Cemagi.

These areas offer holidaymakers great beaches for surfing, sunbaking, and long beach walks. They have the best shopping, bars, day spas, nightlife, restaurants, waterparks, and beach clubs.
Is Seminyak a more popular area than Canggu for a holiday?
Seminyak and Canggu are great areas for a Bali holiday, each with distinct merits. However, the tourist hub is slowly shifting north from Seminyak towards Canggu, where there are newer cafes, beach clubs and restaurants. Having said that, Seminyak is still an excellent area to base yourself in as there are so many things to see and do, including Eat Street, Seminyak Beach and the Double Six area. Canggu offers a more hectic past and fast-paced holiday with brand-new beach clubs, bars, shops, and cafes from Berawa to Seseh. For families with young children, Seminyak is the better option, and Canggu is the perfect area for young couples or groups wanting to party.

The most peaceful areas in Bali for a holiday are Sanur, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Candidasa and some areas of Uluwatu. Whilst they can be busy during peak holiday periods, they offer holidaymakers a less hectic pace, especially if you’re staying near the beach.
Whats the difference between the east and west coast of Bali?
The East Coast of Bali is the quieter side of the island, with tourist areas like Sanur, Nusa Dua and Pandawa. These areas are significant for families who want a more relaxing beach-style holiday where most of the time is spent by the beach or in the villa. On the other hand, the East Coast is much more action-packed with areas like Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Umalas and Canggu, attracting a crowd that wants to shop, party, enjoy fine dining and hit the beach club scene.
Is it OK to split our holiday time between villas in different areas in Bali?
We love our guests to explore the island; the best way to do this is to stay in various areas. Here are some great options:
7 days: 4 days in Seminyak and 3 in Canggu
10 Days: 4 days in Seminyak, 3 in Canggu and 3 in Uluwatu
14 days: 4 days Seminyak, 3 in Canggu, 3 in Uluwatu and 4 in Ubud.
While you have the freedom to create your own itinerary and explore more parts of the island, it’s important to consider the potential travel challenges. Traffic conditions can lead to lengthy travel times, so it’s best to limit yourself to certain areas of the island per trip.
