Bali best bars

Bali is famous for a lot of things – pristine beaches, spectacular sunsets, delicious cuisine, yoga retreats, temples, luxury resorts and villas, and all on a very affordable budget. And thanks to the wave of 7 million Australian, European, and other tourists from all over the world that visit Bali each year, the impact is significant. Bali has become a backdrop for whatever tourists want it to be – bringing us to the most prominent thing Bali is known for, it's exclusive bars and revel lifestyle.

While parts of Bali remain Balinese, places like Seminyak and Canggu have become something else entirely. Over the past 20 years Bali’s southern coastline has seen a rise of many all-day clubs and bars, resembling the Mediterranean nightlife lifestyle of Ibiza. We’re not talking about your average low-key speakeasy – the island of the god’s nightlife reputation is legendary.

Imagine sipping on a tantalizing cocktail overlooking lush tropical scenery or lounging on a pristine white sand beach with your besties, as the sun sets, with gravity defying infinity pools, surrounding by a lively and welcoming culture. The variety of venues and choices is mind-blowing, and yet somehow, we found a way to bring you our TOP 5 BALI BEST BARS. Check out our guide, make sure to put them on your must-see list when visiting Bali, and be sure to comment and tell us all about your experiences.

3. Rock Bar – Ayana Resort – Jimbaran

Rock Bar Bali

The Rock Bar is suspended above the waves of Jimbaran Bay, perched on a cliff 14 metres above the ocean, it has been praised as one of the world’s best bars by The New York Times, and in 2011 was voted as Bali’s Best Sunset Venue. Simply getting there is an adventure. Guests are escorted on a special cable car that travels down the cliff from top of the hill, to the illustrious platform.

Rock Bar at Ayana Resort and Spa is not the only thing “on the rocks.” Forget the local pubs up the road, on a Friday night this is where you want to be! This exclusive bar takes it drinking experience seriously, with a strict ‘smart casual’ dress code, you won’t be allowed inside with a singlet and board shorts.

The signature Rockatonic cocktail is refreshingly delicious, the vibe is lit, and surrounded by a full 360-degree panoramic view of picturesque landscape meeting a sparkling Indian Ocean.

The Lawn Canggu

Canggu has fast become one of Bali’s coolest and trendiest places on the island, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any hipper, along came The Lawn. If you love cocktails, swings, and sunsets – not necessarily in that order – it’s time you check out this local favourite. You’ve probably already seen loads of photos of its swing overlooking the beautiful ocean on Instagram. Incredibly kid-friendly, it’s the perfect place to lounge around and relax in the sun. Take your pick of the many bean bags and hammocks, as you let the kids run around on the grass.
