Located between Seminyak and Canggu, the area known as Kerobokan, which includes Umalas Village and Banjar Semer, is conveniently close to Seminyak’s trendy restaurants and designer boutiques yet is a more peaceful option encompassing acres of rice fields and distant mountain views.
This group of rural villages is now home to a few elite rental villas and private residences, with plenty of bistros and cafes cropping up in the most unexpected of places, offering surprisingly good food and home/villa delivery services. The area around retails its semi-rural, sleepy
vibe, and there are several local supermarkets, bakeries, garden centres, simple spas and fitness centres in nearby Canggu. There, you will also find three riding stables – Kuda P, Tarukan, and Bali Equestrian Centre. Conveniences such as ATMs and reliable taxi services make Umalas-Kerobokan well-connected. The main road leading north of Seminyak to Kerobokan is lined with furniture stores and workshops offering antiques made to order.
