The upper-middle-range 102-room Umalas Hotel and Residence is a contemporary suites hotel located in a green and secluded area about a 15-minute drive north of the Seminyak city center. While not luxurious, it does offer fairly upscale accommodations plus a range of amenities, including free breakfast, an outdoor pool, a full-service spa, a sauna, hot and cold jetted tubs, and a rooftop bar and restaurant. Suites are spacious and come with balconies, cooking facilities, sitting areas, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. Given that it's not at the beach or in the city center, prices are relatively affordable, so a stay is a good value. Ivory Resort Seminyak is a cheaper alternative that's closer to the beach.

Destiny Boutique Hotel is a cool and stylish upper-middle-range property at the southern end of central Seminyak. Plenty of shopping and dining is nearby, and the hotel is a 10-minute walk from the beach. The 47 rooms are contemporary and bright, with subtle Balinese accents, though some feel a bit small and lack windows. Marble bathrooms with rainfall showerheads are a particularly nice touch. Features here include an outdoor pool, a poolside bar, a chic rooftop lounge with Seminyak and rice field views, and a restaurant serving Indonesian and Western fare. Travelers looking for larger rooms might want to compare rates at the nearby Villa Karisa, though rates there will be higher .
