Como Beach Club 

Taking a more laidback luxe approach to beach club culture, Como Beach Club is more sanctuary that party starter. Enjoy healthy Como Shambhala Cuisine and wood-fired dishes from the grill, with barrel-aged cocktails and local wines. 

It's also one of the few family-friendly beach clubs in Bali, with the nearby Play by Como space where little ones can enjoy activities and creative play while parents indulge in some well-deserved downtime. 

Alternative Beach

Lazy, sun-soaked days are the order at Alternative Beach. It's a little smaller than other beach clubs in the area, but that's what we like about it. The poolside menu at this intimate venue is quintessential Bali, featuring indulgent cocktails balanced out by a selection of salads and smoothie bowls. 

On Mondays and Thursdays, Alternative Beach hosts movie nights under the stars, complete with cushy bean bags and buckets of popcorn. 

Potato Head 

A true original, Potato Head was one of the first beach clubs of its kind in Bali when it opened in 2009. Over a decade later, it continues to lead the way in the realms of entertainment, sustainability and hospitality. 

Potato Head Beach Club features beautiful design, infinity pools and sun loungers, a menu that celebrates locally and sustainably sourced ingredients

Mari Beach Club 

Beach clubs have been a point of contention for Bali. Particularly after Covid-19, locals and visitors alike are more aware than ever of the negative impacts of mass tourism and the importance of empowering local communities.

Mari Beach Club, which is new on the scene, is doing things a little differently. 

The earthy space is built without walls and in a way that hugs the curves and shapes of its surrounding natural landscape. A love letter to the island and its community, Mari brings the warmth and traditions of Balinese culture into a modern space for a beach club experience that's raw and authentic. 

Mano Beach House

Located on a secluded plot on Petitenget Beach, Mano Beach House—formerly Mano Seaside—underwent a major renovation before reopening earlier this year. The humble beach club now boasts rugged design elements featuring raw materials like bamboo and stone. 

Encouraging a slow way of living, Mano Beach House encourages its guests to get comfy and while away the day enjoying nourishing cuisine, refreshing drinks and of course, the view. 

Ulu Cliffhouse

Soaring above a dramatic 200-foot vertical rock face overlooking the Indian Ocean, Ulu Cliffhouse is one of the most prestigious beach clubs in Bali, with mid-century California surf design elements that pay tribute to the region’s history.

In April, Ulu Cliffhouse roared back to life post-pandemic with performances by Berlin-based Korean DJ Peggy Gou.and British drum and bass band, Rudimental. 

And while the main beach club is great, spare some time to venture down to the Ocean Deck, a spectacular hidden cliffside bar suspended over the waves of Uluwatu. 

Sunday's Beach Club 

Part of The Ungasan Clifftop Resort, Sundays Beach Club has claimed one of the most pristine pockets on the Bukit Peninsula. Guests descend down the clifftop via cable car, arriving to a scene of soft white sand, crystal clear waters and a beach club built from bamboo and alang-alang.

Take part in activities like stand-up paddle boarding and surfing, or hire one of the breezy VIP cabanas for a day of lounging, eating and massages.

El Kabron

If you're after a rowdier beach club scenario in Bali, make your way to El Kabron. The tunes are loud, the drinks come quick and the sunsets are honestly incredible. 

The uniquely shaped infinity pool—or "Hedonism Lounge" as it's officially known—overlooks the Indian Ocean and is surrounded by oversized cabanas and sun beds. If you came to eat, El Kabron serves a fabulous menu of Spanish tapas made to share.
