Bali is a place where all the elements come together in one location: the sun, water, jungles, volcanoes, and thrilling adventures.
And when you add cocktails, umbrellas, excellent service, and food to the mix, you get beach clubs or day clubs. This article compiles the most popular ones for you.
Bukit
White Rock
One of the most picturesque and popular beaches, Melasti Beach, is home to two clubs: the cozy Palmilla Bali and the new White Rock. Entrance to the beach and parking are subject to fees. Let's start with the most interesting one due to its novelty and impressive size - White Rock.
The main part of the club started operating at the end of 2022. However, construction work is still ongoing in the rear part of the building. Fortunately for the guests, this doesn't interfere with enjoying their time.
The club's area is large and accommodates two rectangular pools on either side of the bar. Just above, there are lounges for relaxation. There are various seating options available, from party beds for 8 people to two separate sun loungers for two guests.
Like in many establishments, there is an area with a minimum deposit requirement and areas without mandatory charges. Without making a deposit, you can sit at the poolside bar and enjoy all the club's amenities, including towels, showers, two pools, a bar, a restaurant, and beach access.
The cost of an 8-person sofa deposit is 5,000,000 IDR. A bed for 4 people ranges from 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 IDR. Two sunbeds cost 1,000,000 IDR. Sofas for two people also cost 1,000,000 IDR. On weekends, the prices for all items increase by 500,000 IDR.
In addition to the two rectangular azure pools, there is a small children's pool.
The number of guests is usually quite small. Therefore, regardless of the day of the week and time, there will always be plenty of seating options for relaxation.
The menu offers a wide variety of items to suit any taste, ranging from salads and pasta to sushi rolls and burgers. Prices are not exorbitant for this place, with salads starting at 80,000 IDR and main dishes from 100,000 IDR.
There is also a good wine list and a wide selection of sparkling wines and champagne.
Opening hours: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM, seven days a week.
In the beach club, you'll hear loud and rhythmic music that drowns out the sounds of the ongoing construction and the ocean.
Palmilla Bali
This club is slightly older but is still in no way inferior. Whether you want to swim in the pool, take a dip in the ocean, leisurely enjoy a cocktail, or dance to the music, it's up to you.
The entrance fee is 100,000 IDR per person, and it includes a welcome drink. Cocktails are priced at 130,000 IDR, while non-alcoholic drinks start at 60,000 IDR. The club's area is enclosed by bamboo fencing to maintain its privacy. The interior features sandy tones, light beige umbrellas, and a thatched roof bar, all in line with the island's traditions, making it a photogenic establishment.
From the second floor of the bar, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the ocean and the beachgoers below. There's no deposit required in the bar area. The club offers single beds with deposits ranging from 500,000 IDR, and king-size beds with deposits from 1,000,000 IDR to 1,500,000 IDR.
Palmilla is popular both during the day and in the evening. While you can find available sun loungers on weekdays, it's advisable to book in advance for weekends.
Operating hours: Mon-Thurs 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM, Fri-Sun 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM.
Karma Beach Bali
Just a five-minute drive around the corner is Karma Beach Bali.
This luxurious beach club, situated on a cliff, has been gradually losing its position in the top-rated places in Bukit. One of the club's main features was the lift-funicular that transported guests to the beach with panoramic views and comfort.
Unfortunately, this attraction is no longer available.
The establishment has maintained a relatively high entrance fee but fails to make the desired impression. The interior deteriorates quickly under the scorching sun, and the cleanliness on the premises is lacking. The food is of average quality, with salads starting from 135,000 IDR and Indonesian dishes from 160,000 IDR.
The beach has light sand, but this advantage is more related to the peninsula itself.
The entrance fee to the area costs 250,000 IDR, and the deposit for a sun lounger is 450,000 IDR. This totals 650,000 IDR for a few hours of relaxation, a standard Indonesian lunch, and average service quality that you can find in many other places for less money.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the view of the endless beauty of the Indian Ocean from the cliffs and the distant, ethereal horizon.
Ritual
Белоснежный Ritual расположен на клифе с видом на океаническую гладь.
You can have a pleasant time there both during the day by the pool and in the evening, contemplating the sunset. A large area combining a terrace with a high bright canopy, columns and arches, tables right by the cliff - an atmosphere of natural grandeur and hedonism.
Ritual can be called versatile, as it is suitable for private events, such as wedding ceremonies, romantic dinners, relaxation with a large group by the pool during the day, as well as for secluded moments.
Entry to the premises is free. When using a sun lounger, there is no deposit required, but you need to order one drink and one dish for each guest. If you plan to use the pool and sunbathe, bring your own towel. If you forget, rental costs 50,000 IDR.
The food selection may seem diverse, but nothing unusual: pasta, salads, snacks, pizza, Indonesian dishes. The average bill per person with a meal and a drink is 150,000 IDR. Desserts are ordinary in taste.
In the evening, the fairy lights come on, creating a particularly warm atmosphere. The sunsets, of course, are also stunning.
Opening hours: from 14:00 to 23:00 daily.
Single Fin
The next point is Suluban Beach. The entrance to the parking lot costs 5.000 idr.
A noisy Single Fin with a simple, immediate atmosphere in the best surfing traditions.
You can come here to eat at the cafe, have a cocktail while watching the surfers, or rent a sun lounger by the pool and spend a couple of hours of your leisure time. Admission is free; however, bringing your own towel is not allowed. The entrance is monitored by a guard.
There are not a few people here, the club is popular and well located, especially convenient for dining or relaxing after surfing any day.
The crowd here corresponds to its location: there are many surfers and groups of tourists, fewer couples in love, and an older audience.
By the pool area, individual sun loungers are available for rent at a cost of 200,000 IDR with a food and beverage deposit of 150,000 IDR. You cannot pre-book them. However, you can pre-book tables for groups and VIP seating with a deposit of 2,000,000 IDR.
The menu features Indonesian-style dishes with reasonable prices. Main courses start at 80,000 IDR, and appetizers are available from 50,000 IDR.
The operating hours are from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, except on Wednesdays and Sundays when the establishment remains open until 1:00 AM.
Ulu Cliffhouse
A few hundred meters from the turn to Suluban, you will see a sign for Ulu Cliffhouse. After overcoming the challenges of the broken road, you will arrive at a large parking area, although it may not have a paved surface. The drop-off zone is more comfortable and paved. Parking at Ulu Cliffhouse is free of charge.
A cute and photogenic establishment on the edge of a cliff, medium-sized and with two zones: a pool with beds and a restaurant.
The friendly staff at the entrance will inquire if you have a reservation, provide you with towels, and escort you to your seating area. If you haven't made a reservation in advance, it's usually not a problem to find a spot by the pool or dine in the restaurant on weekdays. However, on weekends, it may get crowded, and it's advisable to make a reservation in advance to secure your spot.
The atmosphere here is quite serene compared to other establishments, with relatively quiet music. The crowd seems calm, and guests leisurely stroll around the premises, chatting by the pool. By the way, there's a life hack for free relaxation.
If you happen to visit Ulu Cliffhouse when there is a crowd or a small private event, the administrator may allow you to use a sun lounger without a deposit, of course, if the entire establishment has not been reserved.
Speaking of deposits, the minimum amount that guests must spend while relaxing and using a bed for two people is 500,000 IDR.
Every Tuesday, they host a movie night, and you need to book your spot in advance through WhatsApp, and no deposit is required.
The menu includes typical items such as salads, appetizers, pizza, sushi rolls, and desserts. The food is delicious, and the average bill per person is around 250,000 IDR.
The establishment operates from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM.
Savaya
As you slowly make your way up the main road of Uluwatu, you turn right and head towards the most famous and fashionable club, Savaya.
This establishment boasts a vast area and a terrace overlooking the cliff, making it a must-visit for anyone who wants to see and be seen on Instagram. You can spend your time here in various ways: celebrating a birthday, swimming and sunbathing, having dinner, making a proposal in a specially designated area, or sitting at the bar right in the pool. There are also two other bars to choose from.
Certainly, all these options are available at other places as well, but Savaya is positioned as a high-class venue, and the ambiance matches this reputation. However, the upscale nature of the club doesn't always guarantee quick and efficient service. Nevertheless, the food is delicious, with dishes starting at 110,000 IDR for items like quesadillas, and drinks starting at 55,000 IDR. Alcoholic cocktails start at 170,000 IDR.
In total, there are three bars, an infinity pool, a dance floor, and four relaxation zones, including tables under a roof, beach beds, and tables with a bar on the terrace. On weekends, they often host performances by guest DJs. A useful tip: you can visit Savaya for free by getting on the guest list of any promoter, or you can purchase a ticket, usually costing around 500,000 IDR, depending on the artist.
The club operates from Thursday to Sunday, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM. On Saturdays and Sundays, the table deposit starts at 15,000,000 IDR and can go up to 32,000,000 IDR due to performances by popular DJs and other artists. So, the deposit cost is lower until around 6:00 PM.
On weekdays, when the club is open, which is Thursday and Friday, the deposit for a beach bed for two people starts at 4,000,000 IDR.
El Kabron Bali
An institution with a Spanish character, a spacious stone terrace with an infinity pool and a great sunset view.
Immediately, there is something to praise about this place: convenient and spacious parking for motorcycles and cars. After parking, you'll arrive at the reception desk, where they will definitely inquire about your reservation. The entrance is free, but you can't just walk in to see the amenities of the establishment.
Such an answer seemed strange to me. Does it mean that if I arrive at the venue without planning and see that there are seats available, I still can't enter? Three administrators explained that a prior reservation is required. After reviewing the price list, I received an answer that if there are available seats without reservations and if I wish to relax at the establishment, they will provide a table in the restaurant.
Finally, we come to the conclusion that you can also come without a reservation. If at the time of your spontaneous visit there is no significant occupancy and reservations, they will offer you a choice of a seat with a minimum deposit.
The complex consists of a restaurant area, a terrace with beach beds, a swimming pool, and sun loungers with an ocean view. You can also find small cozy tables on the terrace.
The interior has a slight Spanish influence, and of course, it's reflected in the menu items, but it wouldn't be accurate to say that you've stepped right into Spain.
The minimum deposit in the restaurant per person is 400,000 IDR. For beach beds on the terrace by the pool, the minimum deposit is 1,000,000 IDR. If you don't plan to swim in the pool but still want to enjoy the view and sunbathe, there are small tables with sofas requiring a 1,000,000 IDR deposit. Finally, for the front row of the sunset cinema, there's a sofa and tables at the edge of the cliff with a minimum deposit of 400,000 IDR.
The establishment operates from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM every day. I would recommend making a reservation if you plan to spend your leisure time here. From lunchtime until evening, there is almost always a DJ playing, so if you're looking for a quiet, romantic evening, this place might not be suitable.
Locca Sea House
It's great to know that in addition to the seafood market and restaurants, there are also a couple of beach clubs in Jimbaran, with Locca Sea House being the most prominent and new among them.
It sounds like Locca Sea House stands out due to its interesting interior design. The combination of traditional Balinese and Western styles in the furniture and decorations adds to its unique atmosphere. The use of large macramé hangings on the covered terrace creates an impressive visual element.
Already on the way to the pool, your eyes catch the wall adorned with various ethnic items - an original decoration for the bar. There are also chairs arranged on different tiers on the premises. A mini-amphitheater for various events. Accommodation on weekends requires a minimum deposit of 200,000 IDR. The complex is spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The only exception might be very windy days when many leaves blow onto the floor, but the staff quickly handles the cleanup. Another pleasant touch is the beach umbrellas. They are made similar to those placed next to altars for offerings. However, they are removed on cloudy windy days.
The entrance to the complex is free, so you can sit at the bar or dine in the restaurant. Cocktails cost 165,000 IDR, and main dishes start from 98,000 IDR. There's a children's menu and gelato available.
By the way, there are two bars in the establishment: a regular one and one in the pool. It's a great option for those who enjoy refreshing drinks and don't want to miss the opportunity to savor a cocktail.
On weekdays, there is no minimum deposit required; you simply order a drink and any dish of your choice.
Locca Sea House often hosts parties and performances by various artists. On such occasions, a minimum deposit is usually required. There's also a children's playground available.
The complex is open every day from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
Canna Bali
Continuing with the theme of beach clubs with distinctive interiors, I'd like to tell you about Canna Bali in Nusa Dua.
It's as if it's carved into a cave, with interior designs that transport you to the atmosphere of the Italian coastline. It's a leisure and entertainment complex with stunning views and four floors, each with its own unique atmosphere.
At the entrance to the building, the eye is immediately met with a stunning view of the ocean from the tall windows. There is nothing interesting on the lobby floor except the reception desk and lounge area. So we take the elevator down.
The entrance is paid, but on one lucky day, I managed to attend their Sunday market, which allowed me to enter for free.
On a regular day, the entrance voucher costs 200,000 IDR. This voucher can be exchanged for a towel, a refreshing drink, or light beverages.
Undoubtedly, this place can be described as a complex. It spans three floors with terraces. The lowest floor features a pool and beach beds where you can also relax on the beach itself.
There is a large indoor restaurant offering Indonesian and European cuisine. Additionally, you can choose to dine on the terrace on the second floor. Main dishes start from 80,000 IDR, and appetizers from 65,000 IDR. There are also tables near the bar on the pool level. In general, you'll find plenty of dining options here.
There are two medium-sized pools surrounded by sun loungers, providing ample space for guests to relax.
Canna frequently hosts events and parties, and it boasts a large stage with a dance floor, so you can classify this establishment as a club as well.
For lounging by the ocean, the minimum deposit will be 750,000 IDR for one sun lounger. If you're renting two sun loungers, the cost will be 1,000,000 IDR.
If you don't plan on swimming, there are tables with sofas on the restaurant terrace. The minimum deposit in this area will be 2,500,000 IDR.
Manarai
Manarai Beach House is located on the same coast with white sand in the Benoa area.
An elegant resort complex with a wide range of amenities. It includes a kids' club, a swimming pool with sun loungers, cozy cabanas on the beach, and a spa salon offering massage services. It embodies the best traditions of a large family resort on the first shoreline.
The interior of this place is designed by a French designer, which catches the attention of tourists and gives this establishment the right to be called luxurious. Although when you're inside, the associations are more with Greek resorts or any Mediterranean country. In any case, Manarai exudes an atmosphere of ease and joy of life.
However, not all reviews of this place are positive. It's worth noting that you shouldn't expect European-quality service, even with relatively high prices for services. The menu offers a mix of European and Indonesian cuisine, which is quite common in many establishments. The only thing that sets this club apart is its spacious grounds, numerous sun loungers, stylish interior, and a wide selection of wines.
The entrance to the premises is free, which is surprising, and there are no minimum deposits required. They even provide towels. On the one hand, this is a pleasant surprise, but on the other hand, it may raise concerns about the maintenance of the pool, as it is used by a large number of people daily, and pool maintenance can be costly. Nevertheless, the pool seemed to be in good condition during my visit, although some reports suggest occasional issues with water clarity.
The clientele includes many Russian-speaking guests and lively groups of visitors, with fewer families with children. In the evening, the place comes alive with the twinkling of fairy lights, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere. The average bill per person is around 250,000+ IDR.
The complex is open every day from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
Oneeighty Dayclub
This place is a must-visit for Instagram bloggers and anyone who loves taking beautiful photos. The part of the pool with a transparent bottom located above the cliff is truly impressive, and your hand naturally reaches for the phone to capture a few shots.
The club has an entrance fee. It costs 400,000 IDR for the entrance voucher, and 300,000 IDR of this amount serves as a deposit for food and drinks.
The interior features light tones with a blue accent, and you'll find stylish people around, all situated on the edge of a cliff. There is no direct access to the beach, but guests are offered various seating options, including the incredible pool. You can also arrive for sunset and secure a spot on the sunset deck.
In the case of a special occasion you'd like to celebrate with your significant other, you can pre-book a romantic dinner table decorated with flowers.
This establishment is impressive, but it may not create a long-lasting emotional impact. It's perfect for capturing beautiful photos and enjoying a day of relaxation. There aren't many other distinctive features about it for now. Oneeighty is positioned as a day club and operates from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. It's advisable to make a reservation when planning your visit.
Ibiza in Bali
Located just a five-minute drive from the airport, you'll find the Ibiza in Bali club. However, it operates only three days a week, from Friday to Sunday, with working hours from 2:00 PM to 4:00 AM.
It might not be an exact replica of Ibiza, but it seems like a fun place. On Sundays, they even organize foam parties in addition to DJ sets. Fridays and Saturdays feature guest DJs playing their music for the guests. While it might not perfectly recreate the atmosphere of the Spanish island, the organizers at Ibiza in Bali do their best – the club is known for its modern atmosphere, colorful light shows, and quality music.
The club offers various types of entrance tickets, including standard, VIP, and tickets with pool access. The entrance fee varies depending on the day, time, and event, but it's usually around 200,000 - 300,000 IDR per person.
Roosterfish beach club
As we descend along the new picturesque road to Pandawa Beach and turn right, we arrive at the entrance to Roosterfish Beach Club, situated on a large green area.
A pleasant secluded place with several recreation areas and free entrance to the territory and friendly polite staff.
A spacious restaurant under the roof where you can enjoy seafood and Indonesian cuisine dishes. The menu also includes a couple of European options, pizza, and burgers. Main dishes start from 100,000 idr. Advance booking is not mandatory, and there are available seats on weekends and especially on weekdays. There is also no minimum deposit required in this area; it operates like a regular café.
In addition to the restaurant, there are four other relaxation areas on the premises for visitors. There are loungers with a minimum deposit of 250,000 idr, beach beds with a deposit of 950,000 idr. What's noteworthy is that they allow up to five people to share a bed, unlike the usual two-person limit in beach clubs. There are also cabanas with a deposit of 1,050,000 idr, and you can split it among as many as seven people.
If you prefer a more secluded relaxation and have come alone, in addition to loungers for guests, bean bags are also available with a minimum deposit of 150,000 idr.
The entire club's territory is well-maintained and includes a children's pool. The establishment is overall very family-friendly and suitable for group gatherings. Foam parties are held on Saturdays.
Operating hours: Monday to Sunday from 08:00 to 22:00.
Changuu and Seminyak
ATLAS Beach Fest
The new Atlas on Berawa certainly impresses with its size. It is positioned as an entertainment venue because it offers a wide range of activities and events. It can even host festivals for several thousand people.
For guests, there are several options for spending their time: after entering, you'll find yourself in the food court area, where you can stroll around and choose something to eat. In the center, there are tables where you can dine. The food options vary, but it's mostly fast food, including tacos, chicken wings, sandwiches, nasi goreng (Indonesian fried rice), snacks, and salads. They also offer shisha and cigars. The main dishes typically start from 65,000 idr.
Moving on, we see another reception desk of administrators who will help with the selection and payment of a beach bed. The deposit is 4.000.000 idr, designed for four people. Sofas for eight people cost 10.000.0000 on weekends and weekdays there is no difference in price.
It's interesting to note that the sofas, beds, and loungers are arranged on different levels, and each level has its own pool. There are also double loungers on the water, with a deposit of 2,500,000 idr. Additionally, there's a more secluded area with circular loungers for two, priced at 2,000,000 idr.
The club's territory is very spacious, and it can accommodate all the tourists in Changgu at once on the beds, by the poolside bar, and on the sofas.
The entrance fee to the club is 125,000 idr as of March 2023. Throughout the club, there's loud dance music playing. On weekends, they host parties with various themes, primarily featuring DJs and foam parties.
They have a convenient booking system on their website, where you can check the location and pricing for any day.
Finns club
This is the most advertised and still very popular world-class club. The complex consists of a beach club and a separate sports facility called the recreation club. The entrances to the beach and sports clubs are different.
There are always plenty of people there - the entrance is free, and you can use the pool and eat at the restaurant on-site. It's always noisy and lively, and they have themed parties on weekends. So, it's a place for social and energetic people; it's not suitable for a quiet beachside getaway.
The price range for food on the menu is 123,000 - 385,000 IDR. From 19:00-21:00, they have happy hours with two cocktails for the price of one. You don't need to rent a sunbed or a lounge chair to swim in the pool, but you will need to rent a towel for 50,000 IDR. Zones with a minimum deposit include sunbeds for 400,000 IDR and bean bag chairs for 250,000 IDR.
The area is very large but divided into two parts: general and VIP. Of course, the VIP zone is more spacious and has fewer people. On weekdays, there is a wide choice of seating options, but on weekends, the best spots with sunset views get booked, so plan your visit in advance.
The place offers sun loungers, bean bag chairs on a perfect lawn, its own restaurant, and beach beds. As seen in the photos, the atmosphere resembles that of an upscale resort somewhere on the islands, making it easy to forget that you're on Bali.
For families and guests with children, there is a separate area with sun loungers, beds, and a pool, aptly named the "family zone." The deposit for loungers here is 750,000 IDR, while beach beds for six people cost 2,600,000 IDR.
The rest of the space is reserved for adults only, with its own pool. The deposits for this section are as follows: single loungers - 1,000,000 IDR, beds for ten people - 10,000,000 IDR, and beds for four people - 4,500,000 IDR.
Prices may vary during different seasons and weekends with parties. You can choose your sun lounger and book your spot directly on the website with convenient navigation.
The area is beautifully landscaped with lush greenery, and all the plants are neatly arranged.
La Brisa
It's the most unusual, cozy, and green beach club. The interior is in a boho-chic style, using natural materials and featuring many small and unexpected details. It creates a sense of being in the lap of nature and encourages you to take in everything around yo
The first thing that guests see is the most popular Instagram picture from this place: a wall made of colorful canoes.
In reality, the shoreline at this location is not as favorable as near Finns or Atlas. However, this place is definitely worth a visit. Entry to the premises is free, and guests are welcomed and led to the club via a short path.
There is one small pool and three seating areas: tables with an ocean view, tables on the second floor, beach beds, and sofas - all with a minimum deposit. However, the area further away from the beach and ocean view is without a deposit requirement. The minimum deposit for tables is 300,000 idr, and beach beds start from 6,000,000 idr for four people.
The prices on the menu are moderate but not the most budget-friendly: appetizers start from 60,000 idr, main dishes from 95,000 idr. However, the cost is justified by the quality of the food and the incredibly pleasant atmosphere of the place. It's a good idea to make reservations for a table or beach bed in advance as La Brisa is very popular regardless of the day.
The parking lot is not very large, but there are enough places, you can park at the wall before the entrance.
Mari Beach Club
A cozy and spacious beach club in Kerobokan with a beautiful natural interior, where the main accent is on straw and bamboo elements.
The color scheme of the entire area is sandy and beige tones, which certainly makes it an Instagram-worthy place with a truly Balinese atmosphere.
The music here is calmer, with an ethnic and organic vibe; fast-paced dance tunes are not typical for this place. Alongside the meandering pool, there are beach beds that can accommodate 4 people with a minimum deposit of 2,000,000 IDR on weekdays and 2,500,000 IDR on weekends. And the beds for two with an ocean view have a deposit of 1,000,000 IDR.
The only somewhat unusual fact is that there are no single sun loungers here. Instead, there are beach beds of various capacities and designs, as well as many different areas for groups to relax, where guests can sunbathe and have lunch.
Many visitors praise the menu, especially the seafood dishes. Prices for main dishes start at 110,000 IDR.
Potato Head Beach Club
This place attracts both young people and others. The large complex includes a beach club, a hotel, and a restaurant.
The façade is designed in the shape of a coliseum, and hundreds of columns frame it, creating an outstanding architectural picture. A well-known Balinese architect worked on the exterior of the club, and it's no wonder – the concept continues to captivate tourists to this day.
Not long ago, the restaurant ljen opened, with a Balinese head chef who previously worked at a Michelin two-star restaurant in Chicago. The restaurant is accessible to visitors of the beach club. This makes the place interesting not only for its interior and atmosphere but also for such remarkable facts.
In terms of atmosphere, you can compare Potato Head to Finns. Both clubs are large and never empty, with visitors ready for fun and poolside parties.
Another noteworthy fact is that the club's creators care about the environment and use only natural materials in the club's daily operations and, of course, in the interior.
The club has a large area with several options for seating. The cost of deposits varies depending on the time: one price from 9 AM to 4 PM, and another later in the day. Sunset, of course, is more expensive. Another interesting observation is that if you make a reservation in advance, the price is higher. But if you simply walk in and choose from what's available, it's cheaper by a couple of hundred thousand rupiahs at least.
Beach beds by the pool for four people cost 2,000,000 IDR until 4 PM and 5,000,000 IDR after 4 PM with a prior reservation. Without a reservation, the deposit is 2,000,000 IDR at any time. There's also a nature-friendly area with mattresses on the lawn and small tables for two people. The deposit is 2,000,000 IDR until 4 PM and 3,000,000 IDR after 4 PM. If you simply arrive and occupy an available mattress, it's 1,500,000 IDR. That's the interesting story with deposits.
The menu includes popular beach snacks like sweet corn, hummus, and french fries, with prices starting at 85,000 IDR. The main dishes primarily consist of pizza, Indonesian food, and meat dishes, with prices starting at 110,000 IDR.
Lately, visitors haven't been overly enthusiastic about the value for money when it comes to food. There are also some less favorable reviews regarding the service.
Ku De Ta
This beach club offers some of the best views of the famous surf spot. It's a small and stylish beach club with loungers right by the water. Everything about it is in line with an oceanfront establishment: an infinity pool, beach beds with a view of the endless horizon, and a restaurant with the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner.
There are beach beds by the pool that can accommodate up to 3 people, and they are perhaps the most comfortable spots for relaxation. These are sofa loungers with designated spaces for each person and a headrest.
There are also traditional beach beds for four people by the pool. The deposit for all these spots is 1,500,000 IDR. Of course, there are also single loungers right on the beach.
Ku De Ta often hosts parties featuring famous DJs, and on Sundays, the venue turns into a family-friendly place with activities for children.
There is a full-service restaurant at Ku De Ta with a highly regarded menu, according to visitors. The menu offers a variety of options, with appetizers starting from 90,000 idr, main dishes from 110,000 idr, cocktails at 125,000 idr, and a children's menu with many fish or chicken options starting from 70,000 idr.
The atmosphere of this place is more tranquil and relaxing than high-energy and entertaining. Here, you can unwind and enjoy a sunset while combining leisure with excellent food and soaking up the sun.
Good service and a great time are guaranteed at this venue.
Mano
The beach club attracts with its secluded atmosphere, and the interior reflects a relaxed and cozy island style.
The establishment has a spacious open area adorned with wooden elements, creating a natural atmosphere. Local materials like bamboo and stone are used in the interior, giving it an organic and exotic look. It's the atmosphere and interior that attract most guests, but the cuisine also receives positive reviews.
There are significantly more seating options for lunch or dinner than there are places to relax by the pool. The main relaxation area includes bean bag chairs under umbrellas and a sunset deck. The deposit here is 300,000 IDR everywhere. The most popular location for dinner is the couches with a view of the sunset, with a deposit of 300,000 IDR per person. Regardless of the day, it's better to plan your evening in advance and secure good seats with reservations. There are also tables for groups in the lounge area under the canopy, and the deposit there is 150,000 IDR per person.
By the pool, you'll find comfortable single loungers from which you can conveniently watch the roaring waves.
One significant drawback for an oceanfront establishment is the lack of a beach, but this particular stretch of Seminyak's coastline is not known for its beauty and convenience.
Mrs Sippy Bali
A popular beach club in Seminyak with the only pool where jumps are not prohibited but even recommended. What sets this place apart is the presence of a diving platform and, consequently, a deep pool.
The entrance fee to the premises costs 100,000 IDR on weekdays and 200,000 IDR on Saturdays. 50,000 IDR can be used as a deposit. The establishment cannot be called family-friendly; it's more for young people. You can come with children, but only until 4:00 PM.
The interior of Mrs. Sippy features light tones and azure waters, making it stylish and modern while preserving small Balinese traditional details.
It's always lively and noisy here, with a lot of people, especially in the afternoon. So it's better to book your spots in advance. Possible options for accommodation include beach beds for four people with a deposit of 1,500,000 IDR, single poolside sunbeds with a deposit of 500,000 IDR. If you're planning to visit with a group of up to 6 people, a cabana with a 2,500,000 IDR deposit might be suitable.
The prices on the menu are quite reasonable for a popular establishment. However, the food is straightforward: burgers are around 140,000 IDR, pizza is priced between 150,000 and 200,000 IDR, bowls cost around 140,000 - 160,000 IDR. Cocktails are priced between 150,000 - 180,000 IDR, and beer starts from 80,000 IDR.
You cannot bring water and towels inside, so you'll likely want to order beverages at the very least.
In general, Mrs Sippy Bali is a great place for those looking for a fun poolside experience and entertainment. However, if you prefer quiet and secluded places, this beach club may not be suitable for you.

LEGIAN
Opening hours: 7.00 – 23.00
AZUL - one of the best places in the Legian area where you can enjoy the sea breeze, a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, stunning views on a bright sunny day, and captivating sunsets.
The club is located within the Bali Mandira Beach Resort and Spa, known for its bamboo architecture. The semi-open spaces for dining, the bar, and the lounge are spread across three levels under domed straw roofs. During the day, Azul serves as an excellent escape from the heat.
The beach club's pool is situated on the second floor. If you enter the bamboo bar-restaurant, head to the second floor via the wooden spiral staircase and walk to the far left corner of the circular bar. There, you'll find a fresh white terrace with a magnificent pool.
The pool is quite long, approximately 30 meters, although it is not very deep, only 1.2 meters. It is lined with stone and is kept in excellent condition. The water is perfectly clean. There is a jacuzzi at the pool entrance. It's very pleasant to relax under the gentle massage of the water jets after a day of surfing or exercise.
There is no separate fee for using the pool or towels. You just need to order something from the menu. If you take a regular sun lounger, there is no minimum spending requirement. If you opt for a cabana in the shade, you will need to spend a minimum of 250,000 Indonesian Rupiahs from the menu. In either case, they will provide you with a towel.
The most beautiful sunset views can be enjoyed from the club's restaurant, which is located in the fantastic round bamboo building. Surrounding the pool are trees in the hotel's garden and a view of the ocean between the trees. However, this view is enough to determine whether it's worth tackling the waves at Legian Beach or better to wait it out in the calm of the pool.
