How to Choose the Best Beach Club in Bali
Spending the day at a beach club really is one of the best things you can do in Bali.
Choosing the best beach club in Bali will depend on where you are staying, the amenities you need, your holiday budget, and whether you are travelling to Bali with kids.
24 of the Best Beach Clubs in Bali (2023)
Uluwatu Beach Clubs
The beauty of Uluwatu beach clubs is most offer incredible views and stunning white sandy beaches.
Most are family-friendly, so you can settle in for the entire day with your kids too.
Here are a few of our favourite beach clubs near Uluwatu, Bali.
1. Sundays Beach Club
Sundays Beach Club has a special place in our hearts as we got married at The Ungasan Resort and enjoyed our post-wedding recovery day at Sundays Beach Club on one of Bali’s most beautiful beaches.
Returning recently, it was interesting to see how the club has evolved from the simple beach club it once was.
The private beach club is definitely fancier than back then.
However, it still has the same certain rustic charm, great drinks and good food.
Most importantly, it offers a calm oasis on its own private white sand beach, which is very different from some of the bigger day clubs further north.
Book some beds or a cabana on the beach to save your wait time and ensure you get an umbrella (it can get hot out there).
Entry is via reception at The Ungasan where you’ll follow the stairs and pathways down to their inclinator that carries you to the club on the beach.
Sundays Beach Club entrance fee:
Weekdays – Adult IDR 400,000 | Child 7-12 IDR 200,000 || Weekend – Adult IDR 450,000 | Child 7-12 IDR 250,000
Entry fee includes beach club access, inclinator, towel, wifi, kayaks, snorkelling gear, SUP and credit towards food and beverage.
