Salt and pepper, Batman and Robin, Bali and beach clubs. If you didn’t guess, we’re listing things that go best together in pairs. And, when you’re heading to the Island of the Gods, it’s practically a rite of passage to check out Bali’s coolest beach clubs.

While beach clubs in Bali have been around since 2000 (the first one being Seminyak’s Ku De Ta), the number of new spots popping up has made whittling down a shortlist of must-visits a little trickier. 

Not sure which postcard-perfect backdrop deserves your company on your next trip to Bali? Read on for our top picks across the island.

Best beach clubs in Bali

  • Clubs

Finns Beach Club is a crowd-pleaser in every sense. Sprawling over 170 metres of beachfront, it's home to multiple pools, swim-up bars, and endless Instagrammable backdrops. 

Undoubtedly the classic choice when it comes to Bali beach clubs, Finn's is just as much fun on a casual Tuesday as it is on a Saturday night. Come here for all-day parties, excellent margaritas, and DJ sets from a great range of international names. If you're looking for something a little more luxe, there's also the VIP version right next door.

Previously known as Omnia, Savaya got a big rebrand a few years back and re-opened with the same cut-out-of-the-ocean pool views but a newly elevated array of music events and cocktails to match. 

It's hard to top the combo of sunset views, plus your favourite DJ set, plus a dip in the water when you're partying at Savaya. And if you're into electronic music, this beach club is a top spot. While it's a little more expensive than your standard Bali beach club, it has a range of seating options to suit all budgets, from pool loungers to cabanas and daybeds.

Let's be honest: every day is a Sunday when you're in Bali, but there's arguably nowhere better to lean into those quintessential Sunday vibes than Sundays Beach Club. 

Down in Uluwatu on Bali's south coast, Sundays is on the actual beach rather than perched on top or in front of it like most spots here. Enter via Ungasan Clifftop Resort and take the cliff-side escalator down to the beach for snorkelling, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding. When you’re peckish, dig into a menu of seafood-inspired dishes by Australian chef James Viles.

Mari Beach Club is one of Canggu’s newest eco-conscious hotspots, and it’s quickly making a name for itself as a more tailored, curated beach club. Designed with a “back to nature” philosophy, this beach club is all about sustainable, organic luxury. 

Think: bamboo architecture, beachfront infinity pools, and a menu full to the brim of organic ingredients. Mari feels effortlessly chic. The vibes are barefoot boho by day, transforming into something a little more intimate as night falls. Their cocktail program is exceptional too, filled with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients inspired by the island.

If you’re after jaw-dropping views, Ulu Cliffhouse delivers. From the art deco-inspired décor to the infinity pool that seems to melt into the horizon, Ulu Cliffhouse oozes cool. 

Located on Bali's Bukit peninsula, this beach club comes complete with an art space, a music recording studio, a suave restaurant, and a great bar to match. 

Spend the afternoon lounging on plush daybeds, sipping artisan cocktails, and soaking up some of Bali’s most dramatic scenery. Feeling brave? Ulu Cliffhouse’s clifftop swing offers the perfect photo setting.

  • Clubs

Mano Beach House might not be the biggest beach club in Bali, but it’s got charm by the bucketload. With its whitewashed walls, rustic décor, and laid-back style, it’s one of the best places to escape the bustle of Seminyak’s main strip and settle into a more intimate scene. 

Mano Beach House is the place for a quieter, more relaxed experience where the focus is on R&R rather than all-night partying. Grab The Nusantara cocktail, pick your spot by the pool or on a daybed, and let the hours drift away as you overlook the crashing waves.

Atlas is the biggest beach club in the world with the longest beach bar in Asia. It's also centrally located in Berawa, although you'll want to give yourself plenty of time to leave and arrive during peak hours. 

A beach club for those who don't want to spend hours lying by the beach, it's got an eclectic line-up of food vendors (including a cereal café) as well as traditional kecak fire performances, magicians, and Balinese dancers. It's also usually where international DJs set up camp when playing in Bali.

Head to Bali's east coast for a surf-first atmosphere, world-class waves, and stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Komune is famous for its direct access to some of Bali’s best surfing waves, especially for advanced surfers looking to catch the famous Keramas break. While the surf is a huge draw, the club offers much more than just waves. 

There are regular outdoor movie nights by the pool, live DJ sessions, and a strong emphasis on wellness with yoga classes and a fitness centre on-site. The vibe is pretty relaxed here, making it ideal for families and solo travellers.

Le Pirate is the epitome of island living. It may not be on mainland Bali, but it's well worth catching the boat across to neighbouring Nusa Ceningan for something a little different. 

Once you've caught the boat and hopped across the yellow bridge, you'll be treated to an idyllic spot with turquoise waters, lower prices, and beanbags scattered along the beach. 

In an ideal world, you’ll check in overnight and wake up in one of Le Pirate’s quirky, minimalist “beach boxes” - cosy huts directly facing the water. But you’ll still have plenty of fun if you’re visiting just for the day: this is the kind of place where you can kick off your shoes, throw on a sarong, and just soak up the tropical surroundings.
