Wildly colourful clothing, the latest surfing styles, but also jewellery and other objects of Balinese design. From chic boutiques to the crowded stalls of the market, the lively streets of Seminyak will surprise you with articles you’re going to want to carry home in your suitcase. Depending on your mood and what you’re looking for, this interesting vacation spot on the south of the island offers various alternatives for your shopping pleasure. The two main shopping centres are Seminyak Square and Seminyak Village, but you’ll probably find better deals in the smaller shops along the busy streets of the neighbourhood. Compared with the nearby Seminyak Square, smaller in size - but where you can most likely find the perfect souvenir of your trip - Seminyak Village offers a wider variety, with its designer clothing, leather bags and colourful and fun swimwear. If you’re looking for a real deal, check out the flea-market of Seminyak, near Piazza Seminyak, overflowing with clothing, jewellery, sculpture and handicrafts. If you’re really looking for chic, take note of the addresses of Biasa, Magali Pascal and Bamboo Blonde.
Pura Sada Kapal: the temple that changes for faith and for the ages
The vicissitudes linked to its destruction due to an earthquake and its reconstruction due to the faith of the inhabitants of the village in which it is located, make it a place with a fascinating and unique history and appearance.
Dedicated to the cultivation of rice and the protection of the island from spirits, it is a temple with structural characteristics different from other sacred places in Bali. Its position is strategic for its centrality and coolness.
The purity of the offering to the gods in the Rejang Dance
