  • One of the best days I’ve had in a long time! Came with friends and booked a pool day bed which Is definitely worthy it. The cocktails were the best we had in Bali. The food was also incredible. I highly recommend the Philly cheesesteak. Chilled tunes playing all day and when the sun goes down the music kicks up a notch. Absolute perfection. Take me back.

  • Such an amazing place! The staff and facilities are fantastic. They were so polite and were very helpful without being in your face at all. We had cocktails and food, which was the first time I tried the pork with crackling although I forgot the Balinese name, it’s a must try. It’s similar to pork belly and the fat is rendered and flavoured very well. It just melts in your mouth when eaten with the pork. The pools are immaculate with some good music playing and the view is of some of the nicer side of beaches in Bali due to it being more north from the original tourist locations. I’d go back again and already personally recommended it to some friends who went recently and they also enjoyed it. Beautiful place!

  • AMAZING high-end beach club! I spent a whole day here by myself. They open at 12. It's such a beautiful, clean and tranquil place. The pool is very beautifully designed. The water inside there is crystal clear and refreshing. Subtle ibiza vibes. Nice crowd. The food is very tasty and fresh, as well as all the cocktails. The staff is beyond friendly. very attentive and professional. It's my favourite beach club and i've spent 1 month in bali and seen some beach clubs. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a relaxed place with good prices while still upper-scale.

  • Skip Finns and head on over here instead! The setting was beautiful, food was delicious, music- just the right vibe… but above all else, the service (especially Selvia) was outstanding ♥️ Selvia went above and beyond with food and drink recommendations (must try the bebek and Jimbaran fish) and the staff surprised us with bday cake! Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Bali 😘
