Bali’s reputation as a hedonist’s haven has been common knowledge for some time and shows no signs of slowing down. A long permanent fixture on the international party circuit, boosted by the ever-present Australian contingent, there are plenty of bars and clubs to meet the various and vociferous demands of its visitors. Whether you’re after a foam party or fire dancing, thumping house music or a chic sunset soundtrack, there is something to keep you going into the small hours.

KU DE TA

A slick and sophisticated beachfront establishment, Ku De Ta is the destination of choice for the well-heeled and high-flying, the ultimate upscale option for a special occasion. Often imitated, rarely improved, it is considered the trendsetter for similar bars that have sprung up in Seminyak and beyond. It set the bar high and continues to hold it there. Ku De Ta is famous for its fine dining and sunset soundtrack; the resident DJ team expertly fuse Balearic-style beats with smooth lounge grooves to create an almost mesmeric tropical island ambience. They even live-stream their signature sound to a worldwide audience. The dedicated ‘sunset box’ is the perfect vantage point to sip one of their excellent cocktails as the sun goes down. It closes at midnight, so head here for an elegant evening before continuing the party in central Seminyak.
