In Bali, beach clubs aren’t just places to swim; they are architectural marvels, culinary hubs, and the beating heart of the island’s social scene. Whether you’re looking for a high octane party or a quiet sunset with a craft cocktail, there is a deck waiting for you.
Here is the 2026 definitive guide to the best beach clubs in Bali.
The “Heavy Hitters” (Canggu & Seminyak)
These are the icons. If you haven’t been here, did you even go to Bali?
The Cliff Hangers (Uluwatu)
Uluwatu offers a different breed of beach club: perched on limestone cliffs with views that feel like the edge of the world.
- Savaya Bali
Hovering 100 meters above the Indian Ocean, Savaya is the pinnacle of luxury. Known for its glittering “Crystal Box” bar and hosting world class DJs, it’s the place for a “glam” day out.
- Tip: Book a daybed weeks in advance for big name events.
- Sundays Beach Club
Unlike the clifftop bars, Sundays is tucked at the bottom of a cliff on a private white sand cove. You take an inclinator down to a crystal clear lagoon.
- Highlight: Complimentary water sports (kayaks, SUPs) and nightly beach bonfires.
The 2026 Newcomers & Hidden Gems
If you want to skip the massive crowds of Canggu, these spots are trending right now:
- Luna Beach Club (Tabanan): An immersive art driven club inside Nuanu Creative City. It features “The Luna Statue,” a giant sculpture that lights up at night with projection mapping.
- Tropical Temptation (Melasti Beach): A bohemian bamboo masterpiece. It features two infinity pools and a spectacular view of the white cliffs of Melasti.
- Mano Beach House (Seminyak): For those who find the big clubs too loud. It’s a “slow” beach club think mid century modern design, chilled lo fi beats, and high end dining.
Know Before You Go (Pro Tips)
- Minimum Spend: Most clubs have “free entry” for walk ins (standing at the bar), but daybeds and cabanas always have a minimum spend, ranging from IDR 500,000 to IDR 15,000,000+ for VIP areas.
- The “Golden Hour”: Sunset in Bali is usually between 6:00 PM and 6:30 PM. Arrive by 4:00 PM to secure a good spot and watch the sky change.
- Dress Codes: While most are casual, some (like Savaya or Potato Head’s fine dining) require “Smart Casual” no alcohol branded singlets or swim trunks in the restaurant areas.
- Book Ahead: Use the club’s website or WhatsApp (most have one) to reserve. In 2026, the popular spots are often fully booked 3 to 5 days in advance.
