Bali has dozens of beach clubs, and they are not all the same. Some are huge party venues with DJs and thousands of guests; others are small lounges where you spend a quiet afternoon between the pool and the sea. I’ve lived in Bali since 2020, in Seminyak since 2021, and I’ve spent many afternoons and sunsets in the clubs of Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu and Nusa Dua. This guide sorts them by area, with what I liked, what I didn’t, and what you will actually pay.

How Beach Clubs Work in Bali

Most Bali beach clubs are free to enter, at least during the day. What you pay for is the seat: daybeds, sunbeds and sofas usually come with a minimum spend, which you then use on food and drinks. Bar tables and beanbags are often free. Keep in mind that many places only apply their minimum spend during the high season, in July, August and around Christmas and New Year. A few clubs charge an entrance fee at peak times, which sometimes counts as a food and drink credit.

The afternoon is the best time to go: you get a sunbed more easily, and you can stay for the sunset, which is when every club fills up. Book a daybed if you want a good spot for sunset, especially on weekends. Prices on menus are usually shown before the 10% tax and the service charge, so expect about 20% more on the bill.

Beach Clubs in Seminyak

Seminyak and Petitenget, its northern extension, are where Bali’s beach-club scene started. The clubs here are easy to reach on foot or by a short Grab ride if you stay in the area, and they are perfect for sunset.

Potato Head Beach Club

Potato Head, on Petitenget Beach, is so big that everyone now calls it Desa Potato Head, the Potato Head “village.” You walk in through a wall of old wooden shutters, then down a long lawn to an infinity pool facing the ocean and the sunset.

I’ve been many times for a sunset drink followed by dinner at one of its restaurants, Kaum or Ijen. The cocktails are good, the setting is pleasant and unpretentious, and the restaurants are excellent: Kaum serves traditional dishes from across Indonesia, while Ijen is a zero-waste seafood restaurant. I also like their work on waste: plastic collected on site is recycled into furniture and artworks.

Entry is free before 4:30 PM. Between 4:30 PM and 7:00 PM, there is a 250,000 IDR (about $15) entry fee per person, which works as a food and drink credit. Daybeds come with a minimum spend, while the bar tables by the pool are free.

Ku De Ta

Ku De Ta has been an icon of Seminyak nightlife for more than 20 years: a bar, restaurant and beach club facing the Indian Ocean, famous for its sunsets. I usually go for a drink around 9 PM, when the sunset rush is over, and I try not to miss its annual white party.

Alunê at W Bali (formerly Woobar)

I went very often to Woobar, the beach bar of W Bali – Seminyak: the location, right on the sand of Petitenget Beach, is fantastic, and its Sundown Society sessions brought DJs to the beach at sunset. Woobar closed for renovation in September 2025 and has been replaced by Alunê, a new beach club open daily from noon to 11 PM, with a sunset ritual and live music. Same unbeatable spot, new concept.

707 Beachberm and Mari Beach Club (Batu Belig)

On Batu Belig Beach, between Seminyak and Canggu, two clubs sit side by side. Mari Beach Club, opened in March 2022, has a beautiful pool, but I was very disappointed the last time I went: the place was half empty at sunset, and neither the setting nor the staff gave the impression of sophistication it aims for.

Right next door, 707 Beachberm is smaller and less pretentious, and in the end much better. It’s my pick on Batu Belig for a relaxed sunset drink, sitting on a beanbag on the sand.

Double Six Beach and La Plancha (Legian)

If you prefer the beach itself to a club, head to Double Six Beach, between Seminyak and Legian. Every afternoon, dozens of small beach bars set out colorful beanbags and umbrellas on the sand: no entry fee, no minimum spend, you just order a drink and watch the sunset. The best known is La Plancha, very colorful with its beanbags, umbrellas and, in the evening, its strings of colored bulbs. It’s lively and crowded, so get there around 5:30 PM to find a spot, especially at high tide, when the beach shrinks a lot.

Beach Clubs in Canggu and Berawa

North of Seminyak, Batu Belig, Berawa and Canggu have Bali’s biggest beach clubs. Traffic in Canggu can be terrible, so check how long it takes from your hotel before you go.

Café del Mar Bali

Café del Mar opened in September 2019 on Batu Belig Beach, on the way to Canggu, and it’s my favorite for a quiet day. I like its relaxed atmosphere and the fact that it’s smaller than Finns or Atlas, so it feels more exclusive, with the lounge music that made the success of the original Café del Mar in Ibiza. On the club’s booking site, daybeds start at about 1,500,000 IDR.

Finns Beach Club

Finns, on Berawa Beach, is one of the most famous beach clubs in Bali: a big, lively venue with a pool lined with palm trees and daybeds on the sand. I really liked the atmosphere during the day. I haven’t tried it in the evening, when it turns into more of a party place.

Atlas Beach Club

Atlas, in Berawa, is huge, and presents itself as one of the largest beach clubs in Southeast Asia. I went for a private party on one of its rooftops, which was great. We then walked around the pools and bars on the ground floor, which are probably more fun when you’re a group of friends, and finished in the indoor club: very big, with good music.

Walk-in entry costs 150,000 IDR (about $9). Daybeds and premium tables come with a minimum spend. Children under 120 cm enter free, and children are not allowed after 9 PM.

La Brisa

La Brisa, near Echo Beach, is built from recycled wood and old fishing boats, with a pool and a terrace above the rocks, perfect at sunset. The place is very beautiful, but I found the welcome at the door, where the minimum spend is put forward, a little unpleasant. In fact, at least during the low season, entry is free and you can sit on the beanbags on the beach for free; the minimum spend only applies to the reserved sofas and deck chairs, about 1,000,000 IDR for two plus tax and service.

Berawa Beach at Sunset

If you don’t want a beach club at all, the beach itself is free. On Berawa Beach, many people just sit on the sand or on the grass to watch the sunset, with a drink from one of the small bars.

Cliff Beach Clubs in Uluwatu

On the Bukit peninsula, in the south, the beach clubs are built on the cliffs, with infinity pools high above the ocean. The views are spectacular, but most of them are far from the water.

White Rock Beach Club (Ungasan)

White Rock is a cliff club in Ungasan, with a long pool and terraces above a white sand beach. The view is spectacular, especially at sunset. To be honest, it wasn’t my favorite: the music was very loud and the setting felt impersonal.

Other Uluwatu Beach Clubs

Uluwatu has many other clubs, such as Sundays Beach Club, Ulu Cliffhouse, El Kabron and Savaya. I haven’t been to them, so I won’t review them. For everything else in the area, see my guide to Uluwatu, Jimbaran and Nusa Dua.

Beach Clubs in Nusa Dua

CANNA

CANNA sits on the Nusa Dua side, with an infinity pool facing the reef and daybeds on a wooden deck. I found it much warmer and more relaxed than White Rock, a good choice if you want a pleasant day by the pool rather than a party, and the calm water of Nusa Dua is easy for swimming.

Cliff Club on Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida, the island off Bali’s southeast coast, is part of Bali, and it has its own cliff club. Amok, on the cliffs of Gamat Bay, is a sun and cliff club with one of the best sunset views on the island. Full disclosure: I’m involved in Amok, so I’m not neutral, but I’d mention it anyway. You’ll find more in my guide to Amok on Nusa Penida.

Bali Beach Clubs With No Minimum Spend

You don’t need a big budget to enjoy a beach club in Bali. These are the free options I know:

• Potato Head: free entry before 4:30 PM, and free bar tables by the pool.
• La Brisa: free entry and free beanbags on the beach, at least in the low season.
• Atlas: no minimum spend at the bar tables, but a 150,000 IDR walk-in fee.
• The beach itself: Double Six, Berawa, Batu Belig and Seminyak beaches are free, with small bars and beanbags on the sand, like La Plancha.

Practical Tips for Bali Beach Clubs

• Book for sunset: reserve a daybed online, especially on weekends and in July, August and at Christmas.
• Check the minimum spend: it changes with the season and the seat, many clubs only apply it in the high season, and it’s usually per bed, not per person.
• Expect about 20% more: tax and service are usually added to the menu prices.
• Children: most clubs welcome them during the day; some, like Atlas, limit them in the evening.
• Getting there: use Grab or Gojek, and leave early in Canggu, where traffic is heavy.
• Bring: a towel is usually provided; outside food and drinks are not allowed.
