10 Bali Bars and Beach Clubs Perfect for Both Day and Night

It’s no secret that Bali is a sun-and-sea paradise. Besides stunning scuba diving spots, waterparks and South-East Asia’s largest Starbucks, Bali is home to some of the region’s best beach clubs and seaside bars!

After a day of activities, there’s nothing better than to kick back and relax. The best part: these bars and beach clubs are great for both night and day. Sunbathe by the water, stay for the sunset, and party the night away.

Before you set off, here are some essentials for your Bali holiday:

Home to the largest saltwater pool in Bali, Mrs Sippy Beach Club is an oasis for drinks, food, music and catching plenty of sunshine for that perfect tan. With multiple daybed options, a triple-tiered dive tower and poolside DJ gigs once the sun goes down, Mrs Sippy’s got every aspect of the pool party experience down to a T.

Stop by the open-air bar for Mrs Sippy’s Thirsty Thursdays after 6pm – there’s free entry, pizzas for less than $8, as well as two-for-one beers, slushies and spirits! You’ll be well-stocked way after the sun goes down.

Opened by the same squad behind the iconic Motel Mexicola, Tropicola takes the Seminyak beach club experience to the next level. With its ‘80s pool club colorblock aesthetic, this 7,000 sq. metre beach club is pure #ThrowbackVibes.

Head to any of the three bars within this multi-level space for some Tropicola specials, created in-house to fit the beach club’s theme. The Tropicolada is a signature, with jackfruit replacing the usual pineapple from the original cocktail. In case you’re feeling peckish, there are a ton of food options at the open-air kitchen, from a menu of fresh seafood, grilled meats and roasted vegetables.

Watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean from one of the two pools, and then stay on through the night as the in-house DJ cranks up the music and energy!

For tacos and tequilas all day long, head to colourful, quirky Motel Mexicola. This eye-catching Mexican bar and restaurant is all decked out in bold patterns and motifs – from the front steps to the sheltered bar area, every inch of this place screams #InstaGoals

For a picture-perfect cocktail, order the Pina Colada, which comes with a mix of white and dark rum, along with coconut liqueur and coconut milk. If you’re taking a break from the alcohol, Motel Mexicola also makes some great mocktails! Get the Lollipop drink with fizzy raspberry, elderflower and lime soda.

Accompany your drinks with the bar bites and snacks. Some of our favourites include the Classic Nachos that come with smashed avocado, pico de gallo and homemade corn chips, as well as the extra-cheesy Quesadilla De Queso.

The atmosphere at Hotel Mexicola really starts to heat up at night, as the courtyard fills up and the music cranks up. Head upstairs for more drinks, or join the crowds and dance the night away!
