Sublime Sunsets in Bali

You know you’re living the sweet life when you are relaxing on the beautiful island of Bali with a cold drink in hand watching another legendary tropical sunset streak the sky with a profusion of red, orange, yellow, pink and purple hues. Sure, you can see the sunset from a goodly number of places around the island, but some places are just more special than others.

Uluwatu Temple

Perched high above a cliff on the Indian Ocean, Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali’s most visited sites—and for good reason. At sunset, you can capture stunning shots of the temple’s silhouette against vivid skies. Alternatively, watch the sun melt into the sea while enjoying one of the legendary kacek and fire dances on the clifftop stage. Tickets for the dance are sold inside the temple grounds and are separate from the entrance fee.

Rock Bar

For an unforgettable experience, head to AYANA Resort & Spa and queue up for a seat at the Rock Bar. This glamorous glass venue sits on a rock that juts out over the ocean. The drinks may be pricey, but they’re worth it. You’ll find premium spirits, handcrafted cocktails, and fine wines on offer. To accompany your drink, choose from bar bites like rock lobster spring rolls, crispy taquitos, or white chocolate passion fruit truffles.

Ku De Ta

Breezy beach vibes and laid-back beats define the experience at Ku De Ta, one of Bali’s most iconic beach clubs. Settle into a sofa and sip on chilled martinis, zesty mojitos, or icy cold beers. Meanwhile, enjoy live DJ sets and panoramic views of the Seminyak sunset. In addition, a full menu offers everything from pizza and seafood to tapas and desserts.

Uluwatu Sunset - Ultimate Bali

Echo Beach

Canggu is Bali’s laid-back surf haven where black sand beaches meet cool cafes and buzzing beach bars. Echo Beach is a favorite for catching waves by day and sunsets by night, with oceanfront venues like La Brisa offering rustic charm, signature cocktails, and prime sunset views beneath swaying palm trees. The vibe is youthful, creative, and effortlessly cool—perfect for those looking to mix beach time with a social scene.

Jimbaran Seafood Restaurants

Once a small fishing village, Jimbaran is now the spot to go in Bali for ridiculously fresh seafood caught that day. The beach is lined with a plethora of seafood restaurants where you can pluck your meal out of huge tanks, grab a seat at a table on the sand, and watch the sun set over the water as the staff barbecue up your meal and serve it to you accompanied with rice, veggies and sambal.
