Bali Nightlife: The 5 Best Beach Clubs in Uluwatu

After watching the sunset from Single Fin last summer, I realized Uluwatu’s beach clubs offer more than just Instagram moments—they’re gateways to Bali’s vibrant nightlife culture. You’ll find everything from laid-back surf hangouts to upscale venues with international DJs in this coastal corner of paradise. Whether you’re traveling on a budget or looking to splurge for one special night, these five beach clubs showcase different sides of Uluwatu’s after-dark personality. Let’s explore what makes each spot uniquely worth your time.

Key Points

• Single Fin offers the best Sunday Sunset Sessions with live music, no entry fee, and spectacular ocean views.
• Savaya provides premium nightlife with world-class DJs and clifftop views, though requires reservations and has minimum spend policies.
• Locca Sea House combines family-friendly activities with panoramic ocean views and discounted food and drinks.
• Tropical Temptation features unique Balinese architecture and cultural performances including Kecak fire dances during sunset.
• White Rock Beach Club offers oceanfront infinity pools with free entry, though arriving early is recommended for prime spots.

Single Fin: Live Music and Sunset Sessions at Uluwatu’s Iconic Cliff Club

Perched dramatically on the cliffs above Suluban Beach, Single Fin distinguishes itself as Uluwatu’s most iconic nightlife destination. You’ll find this laid-back venue perfectly positioned to capture stunning views of Uluwatu’s famous surf breaks and the vast Indian Ocean.

The Sunday Sunset Sessions are the main draw, featuring live bands and DJs that transform the relaxed daytime atmosphere into an energetic evening party. Unlike other beach clubs, there’s no entry fee or minimum spend to enjoy the prime sunset views from the cliffside terraces.

Arrive early to secure good seating, especially during sunset hours. The venue can become overly crowded during peak times, particularly as the sun begins to set. While relaxing, you can order reasonably priced cocktails, pizzas, and tacos, or grab a fresh juice from the outdoor bar. The casual, surf-inspired vibe welcomes everyone from post-surf locals to international travelers. Single Fin perfectly encapsulates why Indonesian wonders continue to draw visitors seeking authentic cultural experiences mixed with natural beauty.

Savaya: Premium Beach Club Experience With International DJS

While Single Fin represents Uluwatu’s laid-back surf culture, Savaya offers a radically different nightlife experience. Perched 100 meters above the Indian Ocean, this #1 ranked Asian club combines breathtaking cliffside views with world-class DJs in its avant-garde Cube structure.

You’ll need to plan ahead—it’s 50 minutes from the airport and requires early departure for reservations. Operating mainly from 1 PM to 10 PM (later on weekends), Savaya ranks among Bali’s priciest venues with strict minimum spend requirements. Bali’s reputation as the Island of Gods makes venues like Savaya a quintessential part of the paradise experience. The venue features performances by world-renowned artists throughout the week, including Boris Brejcha’s high-tech minimal sets and Elrow’s spectacular shows.

For the best value, visit during golden hour (5-6:30 PM) when the sunset views justify the expense. Skip the flip-flops for evening events and arrange private transportation in advance—ride-sharing options are limited in this remote location.

Locca Sea House: Family-Friendly Relaxation With Ocean Views

Despite being technically located in Jimbaran rather than Uluwatu, Locca Sea House deserves its spot on this list as an invigorating alternative to Uluwatu’s party scene.

A refreshing seaside escape from Uluwatu’s energetic nightlife, just moments away in neighboring Jimbaran.

You’ll enjoy panoramic Indian Ocean views and spectacular sunsets from cliff-side seating that blends modern Bali aesthetics with lush greenery.

Open daily from 12pm-10pm with free entry, Locca offers various seating options including daybeds and sunset cliff areas with different minimum spend requirements.

You’ll save with 20% off pizzas and 15% off other food and beverages, with seafood being their specialty.

Kids will love the foam parties while adults can enjoy traditional Balinese performances and occasional famous musical acts.

For something unique, try horseback riding along the beach—a perfect activity to complement your relaxing day at this family-friendly venue.

While exploring Bali’s nightlife, you can feel confident about your safety in Lombok if you’re planning to visit both islands during your trip.

Make sure to reserve now as spots fill up quickly, especially for the prime sunset viewing areas.

Tropical Temptation: Cultural Performances in Unique Balinese Architecture

Tucked away along Uluwatu’s dramatic coastline, Tropical Temptation emerges with its authentic Balinese architecture that serves as more than just a picturesque backdrop. The beach club’s traditional bale-bale pavilions and alang-alang thatched roofs create perfect viewing spots for their impressive cultural performances. The venue combines Balinese charm with Tulum’s bohemian vibe, creating a unique atmosphere unlike other beach clubs in the area.

You’ll time your visit right by arriving for sunset shows (5:30-7:00 PM), when Kecak fire dances and gamelan performances take center stage. The tiered seating ensures everyone gets ocean views without premium pricing. For those seeking a quieter beach experience, consider exploring Sanur’s peaceful shores as a day trip alternative.

During weekends, don’t miss the Island Treats events featuring local crafts and culinary workshops.

What makes this spot budget-friendly are the free cultural experiences included with minimum spend requirements. The club’s location just 15 minutes from Uluwatu Temple makes it an efficient addition to your sightseeing itinerary.

White Rock Beach Club: Infinity Pools and Craft Cocktails by the Sea

Perched on the southernmost edge of Bali, White Rock Beach Club rewards your journey with some of Uluwatu’s most spectacular oceanfront infinity pools. Located near Melasti Beach, this venue offers a versatile experience that shifts from family-friendly days to vibrant evenings.

For the budget-conscious visitor:

1. Entry is technically free, though reservations for sun loungers or cabanas are recommended.
2. Arrive early (before noon) to secure prime spots without minimum spend requirements.
3. Plan your visit on weekdays to avoid crowds and potentially higher fees.

The international menu features fresh seafood and tropical flavors, complemented by craft cocktails. Couples looking for a romantic experience can indulge in the LoveCouple package for a premium beachfront experience. Remember to factor in Bali’s traffic when planning—you don’t want to miss those stunning Indian Ocean sunset views from the elevated decks. For travelers concerned about timing their visit, the visa-free option allows most travelers to enjoy Bali for up to 30 days without complicated paperwork.

Last Words

You’ll discover a beach club experience for every preference in Uluwatu. While Savaya’s entry fees can reach $50 during peak events, alternatives like Locca Sea House offer similar views at half the price. Over 70% of visitors rate sunset views as their primary reason for visiting these venues. Don’t miss happy hour specials (typically 4-6pm) to enjoy the same atmosphere without breaking your budget.
