Bali and partying go hand in hand, and while surfing is our one true priority, we don't mind tearing up the carpet (or timber) after another gorgeous Balinese day.
Once strictly all about surfing and cultural experiences, Bali has become a major hub for nightlife in Asia. Canggu, Kuta, Legian and Seminyak may be deservedly popular party spots, but we reckon the best bars, pubs and nightclubs in Bali are right here in Uluwatu.
Dodge the lines and discover the cream of the crop with this handy article. This is your ultimate guide to Uluwatu nightlife!
Bali at night is a sight to behold. The tropical heat combined with the energy of the people and vibrant nightlife offers endless possibilities for a good time.
If you're hanging with friends, travelling as a couple or even solo, there's something for everyone to enjoy in Bali at night.
From traditional cultural performances and beachfront bars to lively clubs and unique experiences, you can easily pair your surf camp experience with a good Uluwatu party.
Watch the sunset from Uluwatu's storied cliffs while reflecting on the day's adventures. Then, when the sun sets, swap the flip-flops for dancing shoes and head to one of Uluwatu's many popular spots for a night out.
Watching live music is another epic way to spend the nighttime hours. There are even quieter beach bars where you can kick back, relax and enjoy a glass of wine while admiring the moon's reflection splashed across the ocean.
The best clubs in Bali and the top places to party start in Canggu and run along the coast to Uluwatu.
The main party areas include Seminyak, Legian and Kuta, with a mix of beach bars, clubs and rooftop venues.
However, for a more relaxed and upscale vibe, Uluwatu is the place to be. If you’re wondering what to do at night in Bali, this is the spot to visit. With its stunning cliffs overlooking the ocean and chilled out atmosphere, it's perfect for unwinding after a day of surfing the Bukit.
Uluwatu has become a spot for trendy bars, beach clubs and live music venues, attracting a mix of locals and tourists. It's also home to some of the best nightclubs in Bali, making it a must-visit for partygoers.
With almost nightly live music and DJ events plus an incomprable reputation as Bali hottest nightclub, the Savaya is the place to be in Uluwatu.
A well-renowned day club in Bali, Savaya boasts top-tier facilities, luxurious food and drinks, and first-class resident DJ entertainment. The centerpiece, known as The Cube, is a tower of shimmering silver and glass positioned atop a gravity-defying bar and lounge deck.
As the sun sets, The Cube comes alive with vibrant light effects – it’s a spectacle that has to be seen to be appreciated. There’s also an elegant infinity pool plus an extensive menu of signature cocktails you can order from your loungers or at the swim-up and main bars.
You won’t find a more aesthetically striking nightclub in Bali, and with global acts playing regularly plus VIP bungalows and cabanas, Savaya is a magnet for Uluwatu visitors looking to party in paradise.
Single Fin in Uluwatu is a must-visit bar for both locals and tourists.
Perched on the cliffs near Suluban Beach and not far from the Salty Cowboys bar (check out The Ranch today), this vibrant spot offers reasonably priced food and drinks, making it ideal for a day/night outing.
The atmosphere is unbeatable, with verandas, balconies, booths and tables spread across multiple levels, all following the natural contours of the cliff.
Famous among the Uluwatu surf community, "Single Fin Sundays" are a highlight, featuring a lively party atmosphere as the sun sets over the ocean. The menu caters to comfort food lovers, offering fish and chips, burgers, pizzas and fried chicken.
During the day, you can enjoy the view of surfers tackling Uluwatu's waves, making for perfect entertainment. Single Fin combines modern comfort with a laidback ambiance, which is pretty much the sweet spot for Balinese vibes.
Ulu Cliffhouse is the perfect spot for lounging by the pool... if you like luxuriating surrounded by swaying palms, swanky guests and tasteful bungalows with thatched roofs (we do!).
This iconic Uluwatu destination is known for its jaw-dropping design and the fact it attracts some of the biggest DJs and most popular acts in the world. Saturday parties are worth dropping by for, and they regularly organise chic white parties that you definitely shouldn't miss. For a change of pace, Tuesday movie nights are also sure to make an impression.
The venue's in-house restaurant offers delicious seafood while the bar serves up innovative cocktails to keep the good times rolling.
Again, it does come with a higher price tag than what you might be willing to spend, but it's worth swinging by for a drink to two just to take in the atmosphere.
Hatch Bali stands out as a top destination in Uluwatu, offering an extraordinary blend of vibrant colours and intricate designs that transport you to a jungle or forest setting.
This unique bar and restaurant feels more like an immersive experience at a psychedelic music festival than a typical nightlife spot.
Hatch caters to everyone, with reasonably priced drinks and delectable food options. Latin Tuesdays are a must-try, featuring delicious tacos and refreshing Margaritas. Happy hours are a regular highlight, offering half-price cocktails, beer specials and more.
Beyond its dynamic dance floor, Hatch provides a variety of entertainment options including beer pong, table tennis, board games and pool tables.
Each night brings a new flavour with different food and drink specials, as well as diverse music styles, and its festival-style vibe is perfect for those looking to experience something different in Uluwatu.
El Kabron Cliff Club in Uluwatu offers an unmatched dining and leisure experience with its authentic Mediterranean menu and relaxed vibes.
It's also located on the Uluwatu clifftop, which offers stunning birds’-eye views of sunsets over Bali’s popular surf breaks. The club features a swimmable freeform pool surrounded by beanbags and sun loungers, perfect for enjoying a cocktail. Signature drinks include the secret-recipe ‘Sex on the Cliff’ and a refreshing jug of homemade sangria. Monthly full moon parties with resident DJs add to the vibrant atmosphere.
Don't forget to suss out the Hedonism Lounge. As the name suggests, it's the go-to spot for indulgent cocktails and mesmerising sunset views.
The Rock Bar is one of the most well-known bars in Uluwatu.
To access it you must take a lift down the side of a cliff to get onto the small rock island where it sits. If that's not impressive enough already, the panorama when you step off the lift is truly breathtaking.
The sunsets from here are nothing short of spectacular and pairs beautifully with their amazing cocktails. Rock Bar also has a dedicated music director, which ensures you'll be toe-tapping and finger-wagging (or not) long into the night.
Of course, one of the main pulls of Rock Bar is the fact that it hangs over a small beach with a stunning pool that gives you uninterrupted vistas of the sparkling Indian Ocean.
Awe-struck faces, beautiful people and admittedly pricey drinks are aplenty. Still, it's worth checking out Rock Bar if only for cliff hanging views.
