As one of the most popular destinations in Bali, Legian Beach offers something for everyone. In Balinese, the word “Legian” is translated as “sweet,” and there is no doubt that this location lives up to its name. Unlike the neighbouring district of Seminyak, Legian Beach is bursting at the seams with excitement and entertainment around every corner. While at first glance it may seem like any other Bali beach, if you take the time to explore a bit, you will see what gives the area its unique charm and reputation.

The Art 

Legian is a hotspot for local painters and artisans. Find yourself wandering through the streets as you admire the handicrafts. The shops sell everything from beaded bracelets and necklaces to batik paintings. Feeling adventurous? Wander off the beaten track down some back alleys where you might be lucky enough to stumble upon private galleries, antique shops and other Balinese rarities.

The Vibe 

With smaller crowds and lower tides than the bordering areas of Kuta and Seminyak, Legian offers the perfect balance for a little bit of rest & relaxation. In the daytime, it’s the ideal spot for swimming, shopping or an afternoon at the spa, and it’s much more peaceful than its chaotic neighbours to the north and south.
