Born in 2008 in collaboration between Made Kasim, Bali’s first professional surfer, and Tai “Buddha” Graham, Single Fin has been widely lauded as one of the world’s best beach clubs since 2008. Perched on the cliffs overlooking the Uluwata surf break, this is the place in Bali to go surf, attracting some of the world’s best surfers.

When you’re not riding waves, snack on international plates like quesadillas or the local nasi goreng with fried chicken, or sip on innovative cocktails taking cues from the tropical environs like a “Zen Mojito” made with rum, kaffir lime, lemongrass, and mint. With international DJs coming down for lively Sunday Sessions, this is one beach club you’ll want to visit in Bali.

One of the more exciting new openings in Bali, Electric Eel is a two-storey beach house overlooking the scenic Echo Beach in Canggu. Another brainchild of Tai “Buddha” Graham with Adam McAsey, you’ll be able to feast on no-nonsense cuisine elevated with premium ingredients. Take the cured Iberico coppa paired with classic servings of rockmelon and gremolata (green herb sauce), or the steak frites with grass-fed organic tenderloin, hand-cut fries, herb butter and black peppercorn gravy bring the charm of the Parisian bistro to the beachside. Graze on a charcuterie board while sipping on a cocktail or natural wine.
