Curious about FINNS, Bali's world-famous beach club? This spot offers a dual experience: chill by the infinity pool with tasty food during the day, then watch it transform into a massive party with DJs and live performers at sunset. Is the 4 million Rupiah price tag worth it? This review breaks down the pros and cons, sharing essential tips on booking, timing, and navigating the crowds to help you decide if this party paradise is your perfect Bali vibe.
When you come to Bali, eight out of ten people will put FINNS on their itinerary. It's known as the"World's Best Beach Club"[1], so famous that even if you've never been, you've definitely seen it on your feed. But honestly, when I was actually standing in front of this giant bamboo building, looking at the sea of heads in the pool, my first reaction was: Anjay, there are way too many people here?!
Chill by Day, Rave by Night, The Vibe is Maxed Out
We got there a little after 1 PM, and it proved to be a super smart decision[2]. It wasn't too crowded yet, so we snagged a Daybed, relaxed with the sea breeze, and watched the infinity pool blend into the ocean. *This* was the Bali nongkrong time I was looking for! The music had a slower tempo, just that laid-back vibe that makes you want to sway along.
If you're too lazy to move, you can just order food right from your daybed. The menu is international fusion, enough to give you decision paralysis. I took everyone's advice and ordered the Tempura Prawn Sushi[3] that gets so much hype, and it was truly Mantap! The shrimp was crispy, the rice was soft and sticky—so satisfying in one bite. The Pizza[4] was also good; it was the proper thin-crust, oven-baked style, not some fast-food quality stuff.
Once the sun began to set, the whole vibe of the place changed in an instant. The music from the DJ booth got more and more hype, and there were even roaming drummers and dancers performing live[5], taking the atmosphere to the max. The golden sunset glowed on everyone, and the scene was absolutely incredible. Any random photo you took looked like a professional shot. 📸
Some Real Talk: A Heads-Up for Your Wallet and Experience
But, we've gotta be real here. After sunset, the place basically turns into a giant dance party, and as the crowds grow, the experience can decline a bit. The pool gets packed with young people who are drinking and partying, so if you're hoping for a quiet spot to watch the sea, you might find it a bit too loud[6].
Also, about the cocktails... The ones my friends ordered all felt a bit weak on the alcohol, kind of like spiked fruit juice[7], so the value for money isn't great. Since they aren't cheap, friends who are particular about their drinks might want to keep that in mind.

So, if you want to have a great time at FINNS, I've put together a few tips for you guys. Grab a notepad and write these down:
- Book in advance! Book in advance! Book in advance! Important things must be said three times. Especially for weekends or if you want to book a Daybed/VIP booth, you have no chance if you don't book one or two weeks ahead[8]. Don't even think about walking in; it won't end well.
- Don't be scared of the minimum spend. For example, the Daybed we booked was about 4 million IDR[9], which sounds intimidating, but it can be fully redeemed for food and drinks. There were a few of us, and we pretty much spent it all on eating and drinking from the afternoon into the evening.
- The best time to arrive is around 1 PM[10]. You can chill for a bit first, go for a swim, take some photos, and avoid the peak evening crowd.
- Double-check your bill carefully when you pay! I've heard stories of servers accidentally adding drinks from other tables to the bill[11], so it's always good to be careful when you're out.
- Bring some cash. Although most places accept cards, you might need cash for things like renting a locker[12]. Better to be safe than sorry.
- Infinity pool chill [1] by day, DJ beats & drum parades [2] by night – Bali's day-to-night magic.
- Must-try Tempura Prawn Sushi [3]: crispy shrimp, soft rice, pure bliss in every bite.
- “World's Best Beach Club” [4]! Your Daybed minimum spend [5] fully redeems for F&B. Indulge!
