Uluwatu isn’t just about surf breaks and cliffside sunsets: it’s where Bali’s party scene gets a tropical upgrade. Head to **Single Fin** on a Sunday for sunset sessions that spill into all-night dancing, or pay the premium at **OMNIA** for a beach club that feels more Ibiza than Indonesia. The hostel scene here is small but sharp. **Mad Monkey Uluwatu** packs its dorms with backpackers every night, thanks to bar crawls, pool parties, and a location that’s a short scooter ride from the action. Most places are spread along the Bukit Peninsula, so you’ll need wheels or a ride-hailing app to hop between them. Expect to spend £5-£10 on a cocktail at the beach clubs, while hostel bars keep it cheap with Bintang beers for under £2.

How Uluwatu's nightlife zones break down
The closest thing Uluwatu has to a nightlife strip, this street is packed with bars, warungs, and hostels. **Single Fin** and **The Cashew Tree** anchor the scene, with smaller spots filling the gaps. It’s walkable, but scooters are the best way to explore further afield. Most hostels here are budget-friendly, with dorm beds starting at £6.
A quieter area focused on surfing and beach clubs. **Sunday’s Beach Club** and **The Temple Lodge** are the main draws, with a mix of day parties and sunset sessions. It’s a 10-minute scooter ride from **Jl. Labuan Sait**, and the beaches here are some of the best on the Bukit. Accommodation leans toward mid-range guesthouses and surf camps.
A hidden gem with a bohemian feel. **The Tipsy Gypsy** and **Bingin Garden** hostel are the social hubs, with a focus on live music and pool parties. The beach is small but stunning, and the crowd is a mix of backpackers and digital nomads. It’s a 15-minute scooter ride from **Jl. Labuan Sait**, and the roads are rough: best for confident riders.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
Perched on a cliff above **Uluwatu Beach**, this place is legendary for sunset sessions that turn into full-blown parties. Expect house and techno DJs, fire dancers after dark, and a crowd that’s half surfers, half backpackers. Entry is free, but drinks cost £7-£10. Get there by 5 PM to grab a table: it fills up fast, especially on Sundays.
A dayclub-meets-nightclub with a floating DJ booth and a pool you can actually swim in. The music leans electronic, and the dress code is ‘beach chic’: think linen shirts, not flip-flops. Entry is £15-£20, which includes a drink. It’s pricey, but the view over **Melasti Beach** makes it worth it for a splurge.
A more laid-back beach club with bean bags in the sand and a menu of seafood and cocktails. The music is chilled during the day, but it ramps up after 6 PM with reggae and house DJs.

A rooftop bar with panoramic views over the Indian Ocean. The cocktails are strong (£8-£10) and the music is a mix of deep house and chillout. It’s quieter than **Single Fin** but just as scenic. Go for sunset, stay for the fire show at 8 PM. It’s a 10-minute walk from **Jl. Labuan Sait**.
The on-site bar at **Mad Monkey Uluwatu** hostel is the place to start your night. Cheap drinks (£1.50 beers, £3 shots), pool tables, and a crowd that’s always up for a party. The hostel organises bar crawls from here most nights, hitting spots like **Single Fin** and **The Cashew Tree**. Open until 2 AM.
