We love everything about Bali, from its friendly locals and world-class restaurants to the most amazing nature trails. But let’s not forget the number one reason why throngs of tourists make their way down to the gorgeous Indonesian island all year round: the beaches and their beach clubs.
And they keep getting better; with revamps and expansions, more food and beverage options, events, music and picturesque views. Here are our top picks for beach clubs in Bali.
TT Beach Club
Previously known as Cattamaran Beach Club, TT Beach Club is the tropical temptation it seeks to be with a new events line up. The rebranded establishment now hosts weekly Legendary Pool Parties and Sandikala Majestic events to give you the best beach club experience.
If you want to just chill, the comfortable daybeds and hammocks on the beachfront are the best places to do so. Spectacular beach views, signature cocktails, and live DJ music – what more can you ask for?

Mari Beach Club
Mari Beach Club fully embraces the enchanting local culture in their sustainable architecture and design. Central to that is the majestic bamboo dome that pays homage to the sacred Mount Agung and a wading pool that embodies the Ayung River.
With its daybeds, cabanas, and uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean, it’s the perfect place to lounge through the day. Feeling peckish? Indulge in Mediterranean-meets-Japanese cuisine, using some of the finest, locally sourced ingredients guaranteed to delight your senses.

Grab a cocktail while grazing on the bar bites, or take a dip in the infinity pool.

This means more “good times, do good” experiences ahead. Besides soaking in the sun, guests can also look forward to Headonism weekends for multi-sensory and immersive experiences such as sustainability workshops, experimental music sessions, ice baths and even morning meditations.
