Uluwatu Bars: Clifftop Bars & Beach Clubs (Costs)

Uluwatu Bars at a Glance: Quick Pick Table

Uluwatu has three kinds of drinking venue. Plain bars let you order a drink and leave. Beach clubs charge an entry fee or a minimum spend. Party clubs add ticketed events and late closing. Use the table to match the venue to your night, and treat every price as approximate.

Best Uluwatu Bars by Vibe: Sunset, Surfer and Party

Start with the setting you want. For a sunset drink, Single Fin sits on the cliffs above Suluban Beach, and competitor listings say to arrive early for a good seat. Ulu Cliff House has a terrace that overhangs the ocean and fills quickly. If you miss a seat at Single Fin, La Terrazza, an Italian restaurant downstairs, is reported to have a similar view. Prefer a temple sunset without a bar tab? Try the Kecak dance at the clifftop temple instead. For a pool party, El Kabron beside Dreamland starts its DJ set around 3 PM, per one listing. Our research found no verified bar names for Bingin or Padang Padang, so check current openings there before planning around them.

What You'll Actually Pay: Entry, Minimums and Ways to Spend Less

Entry fee, minimum spend and daybed minimum are three separate charges. An entry fee is paid up front. A minimum spend is credit you must use on food and drink. Daybeds carry the biggest minimums. At Sundays, non-guest entry starts at Rp800,000, with Rp500,000 of it returned as credit. At El Kabron, restaurant tables start at Rp400,000, while pool daybeds start at Rp1,800,000. At White Rock, seating minimums run Rp2,000,000 to Rp4,000,000, but they halve if you book a bed in advance and arrive before 2pm. Same-day bookings reportedly need to be made by 1pm.

• Free entry, no bed: Single Fin tables by day, Ulu Cliff House (no entry fee).
• Low entry: Klive at Rp250,000 includes the cable car and a towel.
• Lowest bed minimums reported: Timbis Beach Club from Rp200,000 per person; Ulu Cliff House weekdays from Rp500,000 for four.
• Premium: Savaya lounge from Rp2,000,000 for four; OneEighty entry Rp500,000, of which Rp400,000 is credit.

Single Fin and the Surfer-Bar Scene

Single Fin overlooks the Suluban surf break on Jl. Labuan Sait in Pecatu. Daytime entry is free, and tables without a minimum are available. Competitors report live music or a DJ most nights. They also describe Sunday Sessions running until around 2am. Opening hours are unconfirmed, so check the venue's page before going. Search snippets also credit it with a surfers'-bar title from a surf body, but that claim is unverified here. Surfers planning around the tide can read our guide to the surf breaks below the cliffs. Best fit: surf-minded travelers, groups, and anyone who wants a sunset drink without a bed minimum.

Beach Clubs Worth a Drink

Tropical Temptation overlooks Melasti Beach and is known for cocktails. One listing says drinks arrive in a whole coconut or a bamboo tube. DJs reportedly wrap up shortly after sunset, so go earlier. Klive sits next to Sundays on seven cascading levels. Its Rp250,000 entry covers a deckchair, bar table or beanbag with no minimum. White Rock offers an adults-only pool and a separate family pool, making it the group and family pick. For beach context, see our guide to Melasti and Dreamland beaches. Ulu Cliff House, Locca Sea House, Timbis and OneEighty are also named in listings. Details beyond price should be checked directly.

Late-Night Uluwatu: Where It Goes After Sunset

Late nights are narrower than the beach-club list suggests. Tropical Temptation and Locca reportedly quiet down after dark. Savaya keeps a party atmosphere, mainly on weekends. Standard entry is Rp175,000, and guestlist is sometimes free if you message the club on Instagram before a set time. Big-name DJ nights are ticketed, so book ahead. Sunday is the main night out at Single Fin. Ulu Cliff House runs its open-air movie on Tuesday evenings. For a wider look at the scene, see our full nightlife overview. Dining before a night out?

Getting There and Home Safely at Night

Arrange the return trip before your first drink. Cliff roads are dark, and several venues sit above steep access paths. Klive and Sundays use cable cars for the descent, and stairs remain at the bottom. We found no confirmed taxi or ride-hailing pickup rules for these venues, so ask staff or your hotel to book a driver for you. Do not ride a scooter after drinking. If you rented one for daytime, leave it at your base on the Bukit and take a driver at night. For scooter terms, read scooter rental options. For other transport choices, see moving around the peninsula.

When to Go: Day of Week, Sunset and Season

Arrive early for sunset seats. Sundays advises arriving before midday for first-come beach bean bags. OneEighty reportedly filled by 1pm on a Sunday, so book ahead. El Kabron's pool party starts around 3 PM. Sunset time shifts through the year, and wet-season cloud can blank out the view. Check BMKG weather forecasts before booking a pricey daybed, and read dry and wet season timing for the bigger picture. If rain cancels your plan, rainy-day alternatives cover indoor options.

Mistakes to Avoid at Uluwatu Bars

Most disappointments come from cost confusion or timing. Fix these before you go.

• Confusing entry fee with minimum spend: Sundays' Rp800,000 includes Rp500,000 of credit.
• Showing up late: Single Fin and Ulu Cliff House seats go early.
• Skipping the booking: White Rock halves its minimum if you reserve before 2pm.
• Trusting old prices: figures here are from late 2025, so confirm on the venue's channels.
• Leaving the return trip until closing time: arrange a driver first.
• Wearing beach gear to Savaya: listings describe a dress-to-impress crowd.

Best Uluwatu Bars for Solo Travelers

Solo travelers can avoid high shared-bed minimums by choosing a venue where a single drink is enough. Single Fin is the easiest sunset option: daytime entry is free, and some tables have no minimum spend. It suits travelers who want the Suluban view without committing to a daybed or group booking.

Klive is another workable beach-club choice. Its Rp250,000 entry includes access to standard seating with no minimum, although premium daybeds start from Rp2,000,000. Ulu Cliff House is better for a planned group visit, since weekday minimums begin at Rp500,000 for 4 people.

For a social night, arrive early at Single Fin or choose a ticketed Savaya event. For a quieter drink, use a standard bar table rather than reserving pool seating. Confirm current table policies directly with each venue before going.
