A Bali holiday is synonymous with lazy afternoons that quickly turn into night while lounging, swimming, eating, dancing and drinking at one of the famed Bali beach clubs. The beauty of beach clubs in Bali is that there is a venue that caters to everyone; from young singles looking for some strong party beats and even stronger drinks, and those more laid back clubs that make families feel welcome too. These are 10 of the best beach clubs in Bali right now.

12 of the Best Beach Clubs in Bali
Uluwatu Beach Clubs
Sundays Beach Club
Sundays Beach Club has a special place in our heart as we got married at The Ungasan Resort and enjoyed our post-wedding recovery day at Sundays. 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 a certain rustic charm. 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 entry fees:
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.
Pre-booked bungalow package prices are here.

Seminyak Beach Clubs
Tropicola
Love Motel Mexicola? Bondi‘s Bucket List? Then you’ll definitely love Tropicola. Stepping into Tropicola is like stepping back in time. The Batu Belig beach club vivid colourway is reminiscent of its sister venue, Mexicola. However, Tropicola delivers a Slim Aarons-inspired theme that smacks of the 80s and draws on memories of Palm Springs or Tulum. It’s sporty and fun in one big, bold beachfront venue.

Omnia Day Club
Omnia Day Club is one of the best beach clubs in Bali for those who want to party. It is a proper party-down day club. Coming to Bali with a group of friends? Celebrating before getting married on the island? Omnia could be the club for you; it’s the place to let your hair down all day and dance up in the Cube all night.

Ku De Ta
Another longtime favourite with the returning Bali crowd, you can’t go wrong with Ku De Ta. Settle in from morning to night under their iconic red umbrellas in the heart of Seminyak.
Ku De Ta is a great choice for couples, families and friends; a good mix between fun and relaxation, without the full-blown party vibe. We often even pop into Ku De Ta for breakfast on the weekend, while in Bali (often with a cheeky mimosa added on). We then make sure we have a swim and grab a daybed before they fill up (which happens quickly).
If you’re looking for more of an innovative fine dining experience, book a table upstairs at Mejekawi led by chefs Jeremy Hunt and Chef Warren Carney.
Ku De Ta entry fees: Free
Opening Hours: From 8 am daily
Jl. Kayu Aya No.9, Seminyak, Bali
SugarSand
Located on Double Six beach, part of Hotel Indigo, SugarSand really is in the heart of Seminyak. A cosy spot, across the road from the sand, this is a calmer club that is perfect for a quiet lunch, swim and afternoon relaxation session. It’s ideal if you are a guest of Hotel Indigo and you don’t want to stray too far, as we were on our visit. Particularly, with a toddler in tow.
From SugarSand, work your way across the beach to La Plancha to watch the sunset with the crowds before moving on to dinner.
SugarSand is accessible via Hotel Indigo Seminyak or via the beach on Jalan Double Six.
