THE BEST BEACH CLUBS IN BALI – 2024
1. Sundays Beach Club – Uluwatu
A heady mixture of powder-white sand and azure ocean, Sundays Beach Club is tucked away at the edge of the world with a heavenly combo of sun, sea and sand. In fact, this bucket list staple is one of Bali’s few beach clubs that actually sits directly on the beach, letting you spend the entire day with your toes in the sand. Take the cliff-side escalator down to this hidden oasis for the ultimate beach experience, fuelled by top-notch drinks and an expert menu from celeb Aussie chef James Viles. Graze on seaside-inspired bites (like calamari yakitori, barbecued prawns and wood-fired pizza), and lose track of time in between snorkelling, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. Oh, and if you stick around until after sunset, it’s beanbags, beach bonfires and gooey marshmallows ’til late…

38. Azure Beach Restaurant – Jimbaran
The island’s first French Riviera-style beach club, Azure Beach Restaurant brings Mediterranean vibes, ocean-fresh cuisine and a whole lotta style to Jimbaran’s beachfront. Set on a beautiful white sand bay, Azure Beach Restaurant is centred by a gorgeous glass aquarium pool, fringed by plush daybeds and an elegant setting that focuses on luxe ocean front dining rather than beachfront partying. Bring your bikini, a big appetite and say “bonjour” to island heaven!

39. VUE Beach Club – Canggu
Home to one of Canggu’s most iconic infinity pools, VUE Beach Club is where the Canggu crowds go for a laid-back pool party by the beach. Sit back and relax in the poolside gazebos or on the floating daybeds, as you swap and share VUE’s cheese platters and pizzas, best enjoyed with a cocktail by the pitcher. And when you’re all fuelled up, take a dip in the pool or the ocean, or boogie on the dance floor to live tunes from the resident DJs every weekend.
VUE Beach Club at Lv8 Resort Hotel, Jl Pantai Berawa No. 100xx, Canggu, p. +62 361 894 8888 / +62 819 3370 0888, e. [email protected]
