Once you reach the station in Seminyak, you will also need to find alternate transport to reach your accommodation.

If you're travelling on a tight budget, then taking the bus may seem like a great transfer option. However, if you are carrying heavy luggage or arrive after 10pm, we recommend taking an airport taxi.
