Seminyak is the place in Bali you could call ‘expat homebase’. Reasons for this are obvious, its close to the airport, close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, nightlife and far enough away from Kuta and the package tourist scene to be bearable.
Owning land in Seminyak (assuming you are Indonesian, as foreigners cannot own land in Bali) means 300m rp per are (10m * 10m). That’s over $30,000 for 100sq meters.
One of the best villa sites for Seminyak is Seminyakvillas.net. This site offers a range of holiday rentals from the $1250 a night Villa Atas Ombak to the $150 a night Villa Heliconia. You are always going to pay more for beachfront property, but the places on this site are luxury.
Advantages of staying in Seminyak: Close access to everything.
Disadvantages of staying in Seminyak: Has become more of a tourist / expat hangout than a Balinese village. There are so many creature comforts (and creatures!) that your Bali holiday might feel more like a trip to the Med than to Bali.

Shimla is a tourist destination is also the capital of the Himachal state. It is situated in the north-west Himalayas. Shimla is often referred to as the “Queen of Hill Stations” (a term coined by the British). It has been blessed with all the natural bounties, one can think of. Shimla, draped in forests of pine, rhododendron, and oak, experiences pleasant summers and cold, snowy winters. The biggest industry in Shimla is hotel, travel and tourism. Bulging at its seams with unprecedented expansion, the town retains a colonial aura, with its grand old buildings.
Shimla has a number of spaces to visit. Local hangouts like the mall road and ridge are in the heart of the city. Most of the heritage buildings in the city are preserved in their original tudorbethan architecture. The Viceregal lodge which houses the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, and Wildflower hall that is now a luxury hotel are some of the famous ones. A collection of paintings, jewelery and textiles of the region can be found at the State Museum (built in 1974).
