As of July 21 2025, Kelly’s is closed.
Kelly’s Warung, an icon of Bingin Beach, sits right on the sand overlooking one of Bali’s best surf breaks. Its chilled, unpretentious vibe draws locals, expats, and beach lovers all day long – just be sure to stay for sunset. Grab a sofa downstairs or seat in their upstairs sunset deck, order an icy cold beer or cocktail of choice. Their menu is classic beach comfort food – super tasty tacos, burgers, wraps, and snacks – all absolutely delish! A must-visit in Bingin and Uluwatu.
Up for keeping it casual? Grab a sarong and make your way to a beach – Bingin Beach, Padang Padang, Uluwatu, Balangan or Dreamland are all great picks. Have a sunset dip and if the tide is low find a rock pool to float in. Thirsty? Grab a refresher at any warung and enjoy it with your feet in the sand. Bali life ain’t bad huh!
At Bingin Beach, be sure to try Ibu Deborah’s BBQ corn – you’ll see her cooking on the beach. Or stay for the nightly seafood BBQs from a few beach warungs – fresh, full of flavour with a front row ocean view. Highly recommended.
The easy breezy style of Mana is a great choice if you like dazzling sunsets and a casual hipster/surfer vibe. Trendy t-shirts and flip flops are welcome here. Sip on craft beers (Island Brewing & Kura Kura), local wines, or one of their killer cocktails. Non-drinkers are covered too—with smoothies, kombuchas, and mocktails on offer. Lounge by the pool in a timber cabana, a comfy sun bed, or grab a comfy daybed. Too hot? Take a dip in the infinity pool and soak in that view. Prefer a bird’s eye vibe? Head upstairs. Here on a Friday? Hit happy hour from 4–7pm – it’s always a vibe.
Single Fin – the OG sunset spot of Uluwatu. From its inception as a modest warung back in 2008 to the bustling “it spot” of Uluwatu today, you’ll find this iconic bar on every sunset seekers must visit list. And for good reason – the view from their elevated cliff hugging terraces are simply spectacular. It gets busy—arrive early to snag a table or bar stool, grab a cocktail, and watch surfers score their last waves as the sun drops into the Indian Ocean. Got a crew? Book the VIP lounge for front-row seats. Their Sunday nights are legendary – big crowds, big energy, and a party vibe that goes well into the night.
A newer kid on the cliff, Teja opened in 2024 with understated elegance and sweeping sunset views. This thoughtfully designed lounge and restaurant blends warm stone, soft curves, and breezy open spaces. Their sunset cocktails are smooth and refined, and the dinner menu leans toward Mediterranean with bold, fresh flavours. The vibe? Relaxed and grown-up, with playlists that keep it cool but not crowded. Walk-ins welcome, but bookings recommended if you want that golden hour table.
Dugong Lounge Bar and Restaurant at Suarga Padang Padang is one for the grown ups. A 5-star eco hotel consciously designed to blend modern luxury and island style and a magnificent example of sustainable architecture. As you walk through the entryway, you’ll experience bamboo craftsmanship at its finest. With captivating views over Padang Padang Beach and beyond, it’s a perfect place for a sophisticated a pre-dinner sunset drink. Unlike a party beach club, this place offers a more refined and tranquil experience.
Here’s one for the lovers out there. This lovely island bungalow cliff-edge resort opens their Abracadabra Restaurant & Bar to outside guests, and aren’t we lucky they do! Their kitchen prepares home-style seasonal dishes while their cliff edge BBQ grills up the freshest seafood dishes – mahi-mahi fillets, prawns and calamari – all served with delicious sides and balinese spices. For the vegans and vegetarians, they have an extensive plant based selection. Our tip – leave room for desert, because their home-made pastries, cakes and tarts are to die for. Bookings essential!
Awe-inspiring locale, contemporary design, fantastic food, and that view!! Since opening in 2017, Ulu Cliffhouse has earned its spot on every ‘Best of Bali’ list. No Bintang singlets here—just a slick mix of island cool and international glam. Choose your sunset style: lounge on a daybed, float in the 25m pool, enjoy dinner up top, or head down the cliff to their beach bar for a barefoot, Robinson Crusoe vibe. Midweek is mellow (movie night under the stars on Tuesdays is a fave), but weekends bring the heat, with epic DJ sets from names like Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, and Rudimental. Check their site for what’s on.
Sunsets, Seafood, Indonesian food, and that view – review coming soon!
Sip cocktails and soak up the sunset at this hidden cliffside gem. La Terrazza boasts sweeping views over Uluwatu, and golden hour is hands-down the time to go. Start with an Aperol Spritz, or one of their wonderful cocktails. Feeling peckish? Order a Tagliere—boards of cold cuts, cheese, or grilled veg. Once the sky turns pink, stick around for dinner. Their menu covers all the Italian classics – pizza, pasta, meat, and fish.
70m above the roaring waves of Uluwatu, the cliff top location of this very sacred Balinese Temple is indeed impressive. Facing west, Pura Luhur is an incredibly special place to take in the sunset and get a culture hit at the same time. Stick around for the nightly Kecak Fire Dance to get a glimpse into some Balinese culture and history. Just beware of the monkeys. Keep a tight grip on your belongings because these kids are cheeky and will take anything and everything!
Perched atop the cliffs between Dreamland and Bingin Beach, El Kabron is an Ibiza-style hotspot and an Instagrammer’s dream, dazzling party-goers with spectacular views. DJs spin catchy tunes and disco favourites all afternoon and evening, ensuring the party never stops. FYI, there’s a minimum spend: tables start from Rp 800,000 per person, and day beds range from Rp 1,500,000 to Rp 3,000,000 per person.
If you’re heading to Cuca Jimbaran for dinner (highly recommended!), a pre-dinner drink at Sundara is a must. It’s tucked away at the end of Jimbaran bay directly on the beach. Expect beach-side luxury, classy cocktails, stunning sunset views, world class cuisine and 5 star service that is synonymous with Four Seasons Hotels. It’s not a large space, so we’d recommend pre-booking or arrive a little early.
