Uluwatu beach clubs and nightlife: where to go out?
In Uluwatu, nights out mostly mean clifftop beach clubs at sunset, then Single Fin or one of Savaya's big parties. Most clubs are free to enter: you pay for what you order, plus a minimum spend for loungers, daybeds and sofas.
The Bukit has no strip of bars you can wander between on foot like Canggu: every night out involves a car or a scooter, and the evening usually revolves around one place.
The main ones, from laid-back to glam:
- Single Fin: a bar on the cliff above the Uluwatu break, the surfers' classic. On Sundays, DJs and live music pull a crowd until late.
- Ulu Cliffhouse: an infinity pool facing the ocean, a creative vibe and access to a small beach below.
- Sundays Beach Club: one of the few Bukit clubs right on the sand, at the foot of the Ungasan cliffs; you get down by funicular. Calm and family-friendly.
- El Kabron: a Mediterranean-style club above Dreamland, Spanish food and sunset pool parties.
- Savaya: the most spectacular and the priciest, on an Ungasan cliff, with big-name international DJs; entry is often ticketed and booking is recommended.
What it costs:
- Minimum spend: from around 400,000 IDR (about US$22) per person for a seat at El Kabron to over 1,000,000 IDR (US$55) for a daybed; far more for tables at Savaya.
- Drinks: around 60,000 IDR (US$3.50) for a beer at Single Fin and 130,000 to 250,000 IDR (US$7 to US$14) for a cocktail, depending on the club.
- Tax and service: often added to the bill ("++" on the menu), about 15 to 21% on top.
Before you go out:
- Book for sunset, weekends and the Australian school holidays.
- Plan the ride home: Grab, Gojek or a driver booked ahead for late nights, as cars get scarce after dark. Never ride a scooter after drinking on dark cliff roads (see Why so many scooters in Bali?).
- Drugs and fake alcohol: Indonesia punishes drug offences extremely harshly; drink at established venues (see Is Bali safe?).
Verdict: Single Fin for the surf vibe, Ulu Cliffhouse or El Kabron for a polished sunset, Sundays with the family, Savaya for a big night. To hop between several bars on foot, Canggu (see Canggu nightlife) or Seminyak is a better bet.
Tip: do the Kecak one evening and a beach club the next: both happen at sunset, and trying to fit them into the same day means racing between two cliffs in traffic.
