Motel Mexicola

A neon-drenched Mexican party palace with massive margaritas and a crowd that's ready to dance. The tacos are legit, and the DJ keeps things going until late. Expect chaos, color, and good vibes.

Potato Head Beach Club

The iconic Seminyak beach club with that famous amphitheater of recycled shutters. The infinity pool, the sunset views, and the cocktails are all world-class. Come for an afternoon that stretches into evening.

Koral

Dine surrounded by a stunning aquarium at this theatrical restaurant at The Apurva. The seafood is exceptional, and watching manta rays glide past while you eat is surreal. Pure spectacle.

Riviera Bistro

A French-Mediterranean spot in Canggu with a gorgeous garden setting. The steak frites are excellent, and the cocktails are refined. Perfect for a date night away from the beach club scene.

Sundaymood

An aesthetic brunch spot with Instagram-worthy interiors and healthy-ish fare. The smoothie bowls are beautiful, and the avocado toast is predictably excellent. Come for the vibes, stay for the coffee.

Muda By/Suka

A sustainability-focused café in Ubud serving plant-forward dishes in a bamboo-clad space. The ingredients are hyper-local, and the flavors are fresh and vibrant. Conscious eating done deliciously.
