Whether it’s a quick dip in glittering waters or getting sun-kissed tans on daybeds with a cocktail in hand, this list can be a handy guide to bookmark for the sunnier seasons in Bali.
One of the reasons Bali remains a favourite among travellers is its unhurried pace, picturesque beach views, and robust dining scene. It’s no surprise then that beach clubs are go-to destinations on the island, combining all three elements in one place for a truly unique experience. Whether gracing the beaches of Uluwatu or enlivening the vibrant neighbourhoods of Canggu and Seminyak, there’s no shortage of locations to unwind in the salty ocean breezes.
KU DE TA
Since its opening in 2000, KU DE TA has evolved into one of the most well-known names among Bali’s beach clubs. Its vibrant energy, which blends the island’s cultural charms and rhythms of contemporary lifestyle, continues to attract a steady stream of visitors to its location in Seminyak. As its clientele grows, so do its offerings; beyond a resplendent pool surrounded by lounging areas, restaurants and bars populate its premises, offering sumptuous dishes like The Seaside Seafood Grill’s fresh catches and juicy steaks from SALTLICK as well as refreshing cocktails from 9 Deers on Vacation.
