Welcome to the sun-lit arches of Seminyak Village where free spirit is the desired state of mind. A quaint bohemian setting of ottomans and Moorish lounges against a backdrop of indoor greenery await the discerning traveller. Truly embodying the spirit of the new nomad, the Melium Group’s latest venture is a tropical oasis that seamlessly marries the soul of an islander with the heart and pace of a city slicker.
Follow BAZAAR’s pictorial journey through the enclaves of Seminyak Village as we visit the top three must-do shopping experiences, tailored to arm you with a summer of arsenal fashion and exotic trinkets in every hue underneath the Balinese rainbow.
#1. Resort Chic @ Seminyak Village
A scintillating stretch of door-to-door Riviera-ready boutiques
Seminyak Village’s boulevard of billowy silhouettes begin at M Resort where colour and prints are brought to life with an enlivening range of eclectic labels. From the positively dizzying ensembles of Shahida Parides and Farah Khan Resort to a classic range of Missoni pieces in doses of coastal chic. No resort collection would be complete without a collection of sun hats, M Resort carries new labels Ecua-Andino and Onigo which is emblematic of a unique style reminiscent of Helen Kaminski. In addition to M Resort, MC2 Saint Barth and Rococo Resort is a multi-concept beachwear store which offers a more varied assemblage of popular brands like Mara Hoffman’s desired ready-to-wear collections and a dash of Badgley Mischka, BCBG Max Azria and See by Chloe for summer footwear.

#2. Indonesian Emporium @ Seminyak Village
An experiential and artisanal fete of cultural novelties
Based on the traditional concept of gift-giving, Oleh-Oleh, the unique galleria of Indonesian Emporium is a creative shelter for local businesses to showcase their craft. Each retailer and item is donned with a story of its own and its fruition in the Island of Gods. A dynamic breeding ground of ornamental contemporary Balinese goods from the neon-infused wristlets of Tribal Signature to dollops of pom-poms braided to a collective of traditionally weaved bags from Indonesia Emporium’s token Souvenir & Gifts vendors. Tradition is infused with a wave of contemporary as jewellers, Saka Jewellery is met with the likes of Batik Wayang and Etnik by Ari.
