Is Sundays Beach Club in Bali worth the hefty price tag? This exclusive spot features a dramatic cliffside cable car entrance leading to a secluded white sand beach. It’s a chill paradise for relaxing, not for wild parties. Enjoy free kayaking, a sunset bonfire with marshmallows, and a standout lobster roll. But is the vibe worth the high cost and inconsistent food? This guide weighs the pros and cons, offering essential tips to help you decide if this splurge is for you.
I have to say, the Beach Clubs in Bali have reached a new level of competition. Want to get in? You have to take a cliffside cable car first! 🚠
When I first arrived, I thought I was in the wrong place. But as I descended slowly in the cable car through a tropical rainforest, I felt like I was in a scene from *Jurassic Park*[1]. When that secluded pure white sand beach and jelly-like sea appeared before my eyes without any warning, I was truly blown away. Anjay! The sense of ceremony was off the charts.
The 'Lie Flat' Experience Under the Cliff
The vibe here is a completely different world from the wild party scene at places like Finns. It's more suited for quietly nongkrong and completely zoning out. The seawater is as clear as glass, the sand is as fine as flour, and just collapsing onto a beanbag chair, I felt like I could sleep all afternoon. 😴
They also provide free kayaks and snorkeling gear[2]. The transparent kayak is super photogenic, but there aren't many, so you have to be quick to grab one. In the evening, the staff lights a bonfire, and everyone gathers around to roast marshmallows. There's also a live band singing chill old English songs. The atmosphere was totally Mantap!
As for the food, that lobster roll[3] really blew me away. The bread was toasted to a crispy perfection, and it was so packed with lobster meat it was about to overflow. Pair that with the highly recommended Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri[4], which was so good I wanted to order another one. Now *this* is what a vacation is all about!
But hold on, don't rush in just yet. Here are the downsides you need to know
My long-time followers know me; just singing praises isn't my style. Let's talk about the real stuff.
First, you've got to have your wallet ready. The entrance fee of 300k + a minimum F&B spend of 500k is just the starting price[5]. All prices on the menu are subject to an additional 21% tax and service charge[6], so don't be shocked when you get the bill. Second, the food quality is a bit inconsistent. Apart from star performers like the lobster roll, some dishes are... just very mediocre and not worth the price, plus the portions are on the small side[7]. I've heard that if you spend more than your credit voucher, the staff might ask to hold your ID or bank card as a deposit, which feels a bit weird[8].
Heart-to-Heart Guide (Save this!)
For those of you who want to go, let me highlight the key points for you, so grab your notebooks and take notes:
- You MUST book in advance! Especially if you want to snag a good spot. Book directly on their official website, don't be lazy.
- Check the tides! Check the tides! Check the tides! The beanbag chairs on the beach are only available during low tide. Be sure to check the tide chart on their website before you go[9], or your trip will be for nothing.
- Get there early! This way, you can pick your desired 'lazing spot' and take epic photos without anyone in them.
- Don't miss the sunset bonfire. That's the real essence of Sundays. The experience of roasting marshmallows with live music is amazing[10].
- Take a cliff cable car through rainforest to a secluded pure white beach and jelly sea. Epic entrance, Jurassic Park vibes! [1]
- Grab a lobster roll – crispy, overflowing lobster! Add a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri [2]. Perfect Bali vacay! [3]
- Evenings: bonfires on the beach, roasting marshmallows, live band, Chill oldies. Sunset vibe is pure Mantap! [4]
