This budget-priced, yet upscale, Seminyak hotel features sleek, hip decor and a lushly landscaped pool area.
The Taum Resort Bali offers modern style in a peaceful location on Seminyak’s outskirt, but it's still in walking distance to the nightlife and shopping. The property largely attracts couples and families on leisure vacations. Interior designs blend traditional Balinese elements and modern decor. The open-air lobby combines a slick glass ceiling with a pink-washed Asian mural behind the front desk, and contemporary, low-lying wood furniture. The lobby lounge offers additional comfy, casual couches in wood and neutral tones with pops of bright pink and purple, along with a flat-screen TV and pool views. Outdoor hallways -- with stairs and a glass elevator -- lead to rooms, while pathways lead through manicured gardens, with picnic tables, plumeria and palm trees, and lily ponds. The outdoor pool -- with a kiddy pool attached -- is surrounded by bright green lawns, palms, and a deck with stylish lounge chairs and purple umbrellas. Vine-covered outdoor showers on a grassy embankment amid the lush natural surroundings appeal to many guests; the rooftop yoga and meditation area also has a one-with-nature vibe.

It's a five-minute car trip to the Pura Petitenget Temple, and about 40 minutes' drive to Tanah Lot Temple. It’s an hour by car to the Bali Safari & Marine Park. The Ngurah Rai International Airport takes 30 minutes by car.
