4. Spend the day beachside at SugarSand
Sun, seaside vibes and an all-day perch at SugarSand – we can’t think of a better way to spend the first day of the New Year. This beachside restaurant and pool in Seminyak is where it’s at for superb Japanese izakaya-inspired cuisine, expert cocktails, a killer bill of music, and plenty of nods to local art, design and culture. Kick back on the plush sofas and chairs, and tuck into popcorn shrimp, beef fried ramen, gindara miso and so much more. And whatever you do, sip your way through the vibrant cocktails, and don’t leave before sunset…

5. Celebrate NYD at FINNS Beach Club
Don’t want the New Year’s Eve celebrations to end? Then kick off 2025 at FINNS Beach Club, Bali’s world-famous beach club where the party never stops! There’s nowhere else quite like this beachfront icon, with three pools, three party restaurants, 11 bars, seven kitchens, DJs and live performances – it’s the ultimate destination for an all-out New Year’s Day party. Sitting on the always-buzzing Berawa Beach, here you can sun-soak on your very own daybed, cure the post-NYE hangover with international flavours, then retox at one of 11 bars (we say go for the swim-up bar!) with signature cocktails by the sea… Cheers to that!
When: 1st January 2025, from 10am – midnight.
Where: FINNS Beach Club – Jl Pantai Berawa No. 5, Canggu.
Price: Free entry.
6. Pool Party Recovery at Banana Lounge
There’s nothing like a sun-soaked pool party to help you recover from the NYE festivities (hair of the dog, anyone?!). So we say, roll up for brunch at Banana Lounge in Bingin, and settle in on the lawn on a comfy lounger. Start the year right with a poolside feast of hangover remedies, from juicy BBQ burgers, sausages and steaks, to buckets of prawns, chilled oysters and more. And if you’re ready to retox (there’ll be a DJ to get you back on your dancing feet!), take your pick from the buckets of beers, Bloody Marys, mimosas or negronis – or all of the above!
When: 1st January 2025, from 7am – 11pm.
Where: Banana Lounge – Gang Sedana, JI Tanjung Simah, Labuan Sait, Pecatu
Price: Free entry.
