What You're Signing Up For

The Bukit clifftop has the best sunset seats in Bali and the most confusing pricing. Some clubs are free to walk into, some charge entry, some have a minimum spend that doubles at weekends, and some require booking days ahead for a daybed.

That is what the driver is for. We take you to two, in the right order, at the times when one is quiet and the other is filling, and we tell you what each is charging that week before you sit down.

Highlights

Why People Pick This One

  • Two clubs in an afternoon, in the order that avoids both queues
  • Current entry and minimum-spend figures before you commit
  • Cliff-edge pools facing directly into the sunset
  • Melasti beach below if you want to swim in the sea as well
  • A driver waiting at the end, which matters on that road at night

Full description

The Whole Thing

The clifftop clubs are a recent thing: the first opened around 2010 and there are now more than a dozen along the Uluwatu road, most of them built out over the edge with the pool cantilevered towards the sea.

Itinerary

The Trip, Stop By Stop

Timings are typical, not fixed. Your guide reshapes the day around your pace and the conditions.

  1. Hotel pickup

    Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Jimbaran, Sanur, Ubud

    Early afternoon, timed backwards from sunset. Confirmed the evening before.

    Included

  2. First club

    The quieter one, mid-afternoon, while there are still loungers free.

  3. Melasti beach, optional

    Down the cliff road for a swim in the sea between the two. No steps.

  4. Second club

    Arriving as it fills, in time to get a seat facing the water before sunset.

  5. Sunset

    Straight out to sea from the Bukit, which is why people come up here.

  6. Back to your hotel

    Same car, same driver. The cliff road is dark and busy afterwards.

Before you book

Who This Trip Isn’t For

We would rather talk you out of the wrong trip than take your money for it. If any of these apply, message us and we’ll suggest something that fits better.

Anyone on a strict budget

Minimum spends can reach fifty dollars a head at weekends. We will tell you before you go in, but the clubs set the numbers.

Families with small children

Several of the best clubs are eighteen-plus after a certain hour. Tell us ages and we will pick accordingly.

Anyone wanting a quiet sunset

These are music venues by early evening. Uluwatu temple or Melasti is the quiet alternative.

Come prepared

What To Bring

Something smart-casual

Most of the cliff clubs turn away vests and flip-flops after five. Nothing formal, just not beachwear.

Swimwear under it

The pool is the point at the ones with a pool. There are changing rooms but wearing it saves a queue.

A card for the minimum spend

Most clubs have one and it varies from nothing to sixty dollars a head. Your driver will tell you before you walk in.

A layer for after dark

The Bukit is exposed and it gets breezy on the cliff edge once the sun has gone.

Questions About This Trip

Anything not covered here? Message us. We'd rather answer first than have you book the wrong trip.

What will it actually cost inside?

It varies weekly. Some clubs are free entry, others run minimum spends from twenty to sixty dollars a head at peak. Your driver has the current figures and will say so before you go in.

Do we need to book a daybed?

For the well-known clubs at weekends, yes, days ahead. Tell us which and we will do it, or we will take you to one that does not need it.

Is there a dress code?

Swimwear by the pool, something over it at the bar. A few of the smarter clubs turn away vests and flip-flops after dark.

Can we swim in the sea instead?

Yes, Melasti is on the way and has no steps. A lot of guests prefer it to the pools.

Is it family friendly?

Some are, some are eighteen-plus after a certain hour. Tell us who is coming and we will pick accordingly.
