Are beach clubs in Bali kid-friendly?
Most beach clubs in Bali are kid-friendly, so families with young children can double-check the respective beach clubs’ policies before heading over. Note that some beach clubs have sectioned-off areas that are strictly adult-only, so avoid these parts if you’re bringing your little ones along.
Some beach clubs such as KU DE TA also have family-friendly events where children can do arts and crafts and play carnival games.
Is there a dress code for beach clubs in Bali?
The majority of beach clubs in Bali are very laid back. Most places do not have a strict dress code – just avoid wearing alcohol-branded clothes and you’ll be fine. There are some establishments that require proper swimwear if you’re using the pool so be sure to pack a change of clothes if needed.
There are some upscale beach clubs that uphold a smart casual dress code. If you’re unsure, always check the club’s website to find out the dress code.

If you’ve got little ones in tow, then KU DE TA is a great place to hang out. The beach club has brought back their Family Sunday events, where kid-friendly activities such as face painting and handicraft workshops will be available. They’ve also had fun workshops like sushi and pizza-making classes for children.
Aside from the fun things to do here, you’ve got your iconic seafront view of the Seminyak waters, comfy lounge beds, and giant pools to wade around in.
2. Potato Head Bali
Roman colosseum-inspired interior
Arguably one of the most well-known beach clubs is Potato Head. Established in 2010, its iconic Roman colosseum-inspired facade has become a mainstay of the Seminyak beachscape.

Potato Head has since expanded into a full-blown resort, complete with award-winning restaurants and luxurious rooms available for booking. The beach club is still operational, of course, with entry being free before 5pm. After 5pm is peak hour, and guests must pay a cover charge of IDR 180k.

The beach club menu features a selection of international foods, with bar snacks such as sweet potato fries, hummus and cauliflower bites, priced from IDR 75k onwards. Cocktails, on the other hand, start at IDR 145k.

The beach is your front yard at Sundays Beach Club, where you can expect live music every Saturday and Sunday from 4pm. Entrance fees start from IDR 350k which comes inclusive of access to watersports and IDR200k food and beverage credit.
Image credit: @sundaysbeachclub via Instagram
You can choose to kayak, snorkel or stand-up paddleboard – equipments are provided. Time your arrival after 5.30pm so as not to miss out on their daily sunset beach bonfires, where you can lounge on their complimentary beanbags. There’s also a small boutique shop selling nifty accessories and beachwear.
4. Mari Beach Club
Monthly themed festivals
This classic Bali oceanfront bar and restaurant is a favourite among locals and visitors alike.
Image credit: @maribeachclub via Instagram
Located in between Seminyak and Canggu, Mari Beach Club is constructed entirely from bamboo, with a giant dome structure that resembles the famous Mount Agung. The sweeping views of Batu Belig beach, fresh seafood tower, and killer cocktails keep people coming back. But we’re really here for the monthly themed festivals.
Mediterranean classics such as grilled octopus and kebabs can be found here.

There are traditional Balinese dance shows, bonfires, live DJs, a massive wooden swing, and a full spread of Indonesian dishes.
5. Ulu Cliffhouse
Hosts A-list headliners like Carl Cox
Ulu Cliffhouse is arguably one of the most beautiful beach clubs in Bali. Considering the prime cliffside location and the surroundings, it’s easy to see why – endless ocean vistas, epic sunset views, and shimmering stretches of sand.
Image credit: @ulucliffhouse via Instagram
Show up early to snag a day bed and settle in for a Roasted Pineapple Margarita, a cheesy pizza, and some crispy calamari. Oh, and you’re likely to spot somebody famous, since headliners like Carl Cox, Black Coffee, and Peggy Gou frequent this venue often.
Image credit: @ulucliffhouse via Instagram
The deck at this day-drinking staple is jumping pretty much every night, and if you’re in Bali just to get lit, book yourself in one of the rooms upstairs.
6. Canna Bali
Beach club with private teepees
Nusa Dua is no longer your parents’ and grandparents’ getaway now that Canna Bali is open.
Image credit: @canna.bali via Instagram
One quick look and you’ll have to agree that this brand new beach club is charming as heck. From the moment you walk into its boho chic white stone entrance to the minute you slide your way through the sand and onto a crispy sunbed, you’ll feel like you’re in Greece.
Image credit: @canna.bali via Instagram
To amp up the ambience, opt for a private teepee so you and your date can whisper sweet nothings in the comfort of a secluded hut. Then, continue the date at the fancy schmancy all-glass Cliff restaurant before getting turnt at the club inside a man-made cave.
7. Mrs Sippy
Bali’s largest saltwater pool with giant floaties
This blue and white haunt is next door to Potato Head, has the largest saltwater pool, and most likely the only beach club in Bali with a diving board.
Image credit: @mrssippybali via Instagram
At Mrs.Sippy, the bartenders pour drinks like the world is ending, which explains the loose crowd by mid afternoon. Its happy hour specials like 2-for-1 spirits (IDR150k), slushies (IDR160k), and beers (from IDR75k) are famous, so get in early or you may never get a daybed or even a seat at the bar.
Image credit: @mrssippybali via Instagram
The giant yellow duck floaties are free to use and frankly, very essential props for your IG pics. And hey, the diving board is for you to jump off while doing a backflip, if you want.
8. Old Man’s
Daily happy hour 5pm-6pm
Image credit: @oldmansbali via Instagram
The name of the bar is Old Man’s, but you won’t see any old men here. Instead, there’ll be a concentrated dose of tan and tone surfers, models, and spring breakers sipping on vodka redbull.
Image credit: @oldmansbali via Instagram
Besides its idyllic beachside location in Canggu, its killer 1-for-1 happy hour on all drinks from 5pm-6pm daily is the reason why the place is always popping. Swing by on Wednesday for beer pong or Thursday for salsa classes. It’s basically impossible to have a bad time over here.
9. Roosterfish Beach Club
1-for-1 cocktails daily from 12pm-4pm
Roosterfish Beach Club on Pandawa Beach is exactly what the doctor ordered: it’s neither loud nor wild, but more laidback.
Image credit: @roosterfishbeachclub via Instagram
It has a pool bar so you can sip cocktails in the water until you’re as pruny as you please. Should you decide to air out, sprawl on one of the floating bean bags, still holding on to a Mai Tai. Live DJs spin some of the most soulful tracks, especially on Sunday when the foam party kicks off.
Image credit: @roosterfishbeachclub via Instagram
As for the food, expect a mix of Indonesian cuisine like Nasi Goreng (IDR130k) and Western dishes like pizzas (from IDR130k), and burgers (IDR175k). If you happen to stay at the Renaissance Uluwatu Resort & Spa, get on the free shuttle service, and we’ll see you at the beach club.
7. Karma Beach
Movie screening on a private beach
Sitting on oceanfront property, Karma Beach offers 2 benefits. The first is, of course, its location on Karma Kandara beach, at the foot of the towering cliffs. The second is its dreamy Monday Movie By The Beach where you can catch a blockbuster while lounging on a bean bag under twinkly lights.
Image credit: @karmabeachclubs via Instagram
Getting here requires a short ride on the cable car down the cliffs, but the views of the stunning lagoon lined with shimmering white sand will be worth it.
Image credit: @karmabeachclubs via Instagram
If you want a little more action than staring at waves, rent a kayak, or a paddleboard and go explore. Or, tuck into a plate of grilled seafood platter and call it a day.
8. Azul Beach Club
3-storey bamboo treehouse
Take a break from replenishing your Vitamin D and belly up to this 3-storey beach club right on Padma Beach.
Image credit: @azulbeachclub via Instagram
Really, Azul Beach Club is a slice of paradise in the middle of Legian. They have live music every day, an infinity pool, and a Tiki bar that’s perfect for day drinking. Let your hair down and throw back a few Tiki Sangrias. Just make sure you’re here between 3pm-6pm to catch their 1-for-1 happy hour and an incredible sunset.
Image credit: @azulbeachclub via Instagram
After that, climb up the stairs to the second floor, where you’ll find one of Bali’s finest alfresco restaurants. We hear the tacos here are legit.
12. El Kabron Cliff Club
With shisha
Image credit: @kapuchina via Instagram
Drop by El Kabron Cliff Club for a beautiful view of the ocean alongside Spanish cuisine, shisha and an infinity pool. Not to be missed is the wide variety of paellas on the menu, such as Arroz De Pollo (IDR180k), which is a chicken dish and Paella De Marisco (IDR190k), which comes with seafood.
Image credit: @elkabronbali via Instagram
As for drinks, all cocktails are priced at IDR130k such as the Daiquri or Summer Mojto. Make yourself comfortable on the numerous beach chairs lying around; drop by just before 6pm to get a good spot for sunset watching. Come sundown, look forward to DJ performances and live music.

13. COMO Beach Club
Hanging swing daybeds
Image credit: @nadineleman via Instagram
Drop by COMO Beach Club and people watch on swinging daybeds, which are pretty large and will comfortably fit two – so feel free to snuggle up with your beau. Grab a cocktail from IDR 115k or beer from IDR 60k, and listen to live acoustic music while you watch the sunset.
Image credit: @comobeachclub.canggu via Instagram
If you don’t fancy moving daybeds, you can always opt for stationary ones or beach chairs. Be sure to check out their bar, which is decorated to look like a surf shack with plenty of bamboo.
14. The Lawn
Picnic-style lounging on an artificial lawn
Image credit: @thelawncanggu via Instagram
The Lawn has a Balinese flavour, with bamboo decor hanging from the roof and wood-based sun beds. It isn’t just a beach club offering cocktails and mocktails though – its menu is packed with small bites like Confit Tuna Dip (IDR 65k), pizzas such as The Lawn Prawn (IDR 140k) and mains such as Sticky Tamarind Pork Ribs (IDR 125k).
They’ve got an artificial lawn for picnic-style lounging.
Image credit: @chixriver via Instagram
Complete the experience with a Coconut Mojito (IDR120k) or choose from an array of beers such as the local Bintang (IDR50k) or Corona (IDR90k). You can opt to sit on the wicket mats placed on the floor or daybeds – both offer beautiful views of the ocean.
15. Sugarsand Bali
Serves Japanese-Peruvian dishes
Image credit: @sugarsand.bali via Instagram
Sugarsand Bali in Seminyak offers cocktails and Japanese-Peruvian dishes like Tuna Nikkei Ceviche (IDR90k) which you can enjoy while lounging by the pool and admiring the beachfront. Nikkei is the product of a fusion of Japanese ingredients into Peruvian cuisine like miso and rice vinegar, and you’ll find many of such unique pairings here.
There’s also an impressive array of vegan dishes on the menu.
Image credit: @sugarsand.bali via Instagram
Bigger groups can opt to while away their hours at a cabana or large dining table instead. Alternatively, seek reprieve from the heat in the 2-storey air-conditioned seating area indoors. Keep your eyes peeled for regular performances by local and international DJs on their Facebook page.
16. Oneeighty Bali
On a cliff top
Image credit: @sergeykbn via Instagram
Oneeighty Bali is a cliff-top day club that’s a whopping 530ft above the ocean, so you can be assured you’ll have panoramic views of the sea. It offers a massive infinity pool and entrance fee starts from IDR 450k, giving you access to all the facilities such as the pool, towels, wifi and seating.
Image credit: @ingirl95 via Instagram
Scoot over to their restaurant and order mains like Nasi Goreng Nelayan (IDR180k) or drinks such as the Mai Tai (IDR 145k). The prices here are pretty steep, but the beautiful views and once-in-a-lifetime experience of chilling by a cliff make it well worth it.
