Seminyak and Bali, written down honestly

Everything we get asked before people book, answered properly and in one place — what a villa holiday with children actually involves, what the wet season is really like, how to get here from the airport, and why we would rather you booked direct.

These pages keep to what we can vouch for. We do not publish restaurant lists we have not checked or distances we have not walked — where a fact belongs to someone else, we say so and point you at the person who knows.
