1. Your all-day hangout spot in Seminyak – SugarSand at Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach
SPONSORED
There sure are plenty of bars, clubs and restaurants around Seminyak but SugarSand calls for a full-day of celebration with funky booze, a beautiful stretch of beach, an expansive pool, groovy music beats and an amazing collection of food.
There's absolutely no reason to leave before sunset as SugarSand is located smack bang on Seminyak Beach. Perhaps, you would like to join in-the-know tourists who congregate at the oceanfront venue for lazy midday meals that can last until it's nearly dinnertime!
And while beaches around Bali (especially Double Six Beach in Seminyak) can get overwhelming, the on-beach SugarSand lets you take in sunset with far fewer crowds (no more fighting for bean bags and long waiting hours for your drinks to come).
Slip off your shoes and sink your feet in the pool as your table gets decorated with sumptuous Japanese-inspired dishes. From land to sea, you can be sure that your food is freshly harvested and caught.
And with the salty breeze and gentle soothing sound of the waves crashing on the shore, we promise you're in for a sensual dining experience. It is a venue that is all the while upscale, casual, convivial as well as romantic.
However if you ask us, their open-air upper deck lounge sets the bar way up high when it comes to endless views. Grab a few tropical cocktails from their toes-in-the-sand beach bar, order their special ceviche, sit back, relax and simply take in the stunning panorama lying before you!

2. Sip a drink in a 300+-year-old sacred temple! – Ji Terrace By The Sea at Ji Restaurant
SPONSORED
Ji Terrace By The Sea at Hotel Tugu is a hidden treasure on the West coast of Bali. The perching spot had me booze in hand and face-to-face with some of the best views in Canggu – the island's hipster neighbourhood.
I absolutely love the inspiration behind the interiors of this venue. The fact that you need to go through a restaurant, climb a set of stairs, and know to look for an exotic, tropical terrace makes it pretty cool. Inside, the drinks are made with a unique Asian precision that separates it from the rest of Bali's sunset bar crowd.
As I settled into a roster of stunning cocktails, I also enjoyed a 180° view over the sparkling Indian Ocean. The exclusive venue did not fail to showcase the beauty of Asia – I saw it, felt it and even tasted it! There are alluring statues and artworks scattered all around while you'll even find an antique museum on the hotel grounds. Talk about cultural immersion!
Now, if luck is on your side and you decide to pop by during the weekend, perhaps you'll love to sign up for their Weekend at Ji (Friday to Sunday) with an eclectic programme including DJ sessions, Sunset Happy Hours and a memorable Sunday Brunch!
With their extremely well thought out concept, you'll get to indulge in an all-you-can-eat a-la-carte menu with an extensive range of food items like sushi, sashimi, meat dishes, rice dishes, fresh salads and much more, all made fresh upon order.
With good food, expertly-made concoctions, postcard-perfect views and an entertaining kids' corner for your little ones, you're in for a complete treat at Ji Terrace. And if you're here on a special occasion, book yourself a traditional Indonesian dinner at Tugu Bali Restaurant. Complemented with a romantic setting, you'll also get to enjoy traditional dance performances on specific nights.

Imagine looking out onto the ocean from a cliff, and feeling like you're on the edge of the world.

Rock Bar at AYANA Resort and Spa, BALI gives you the exact experience as described above. But first, to get here, you'll have to hop onto a dramatic cliffside inclinator!

Seafood lovers will go wild for their King Prawns Saganaki, combining the sweet flavour of tomatoes, and salty tang of feta cheese. For all the vegetarians out there, look no further than the Vegetarian "Pilafi" which features a combination of zucchini, rice, and the zestiness of lemon-dill sauce. You're about to be transported to another world; one set above a cliff!
And since sunsets in Bali are truly a sight to behold; they're sacred, and Rock Bar is one of the few places that allows you to experience a sunset the true Bali way, uninhibited, surrounded by good food, great music, and amazing service.
Once you've enjoyed everything on offer at this unique sunset vantage point, it is time to indulge – their DAVA Steak & Seafood restaurant serves up amazing grills; signature dishes include their Tomahawk Steak (rib steak served with Yorkshire pudding) but if you're in for an absolute feast and keen for a grand affair, their mixed grill platter calls in!

Or at sunset, where the ocean view is romantically illuminated by the orange glow of candlelight, and your favourite ball of fire is lighting up the whole area.
Serving up a fine selection of both Western and Indonesian food, the two of you will be spoilt for choice when you dine at Mozzarella by the Sea!
And if you're there on a Saturday, you'll be in for a treat! A popular band named Quartet Facebeat will be there to serenade you with all your favourite classic Beatles songs.
Hey Jude, Let it be, Strawberry Fields Forever – you name it and they'll perform it to make your date night simply perfect.

22. A-plus entertainment – Yuyake Teppanyaki Restaurant
Legian Beach Hotel's Yuyake Teppanyaki Restaurant is one place where eating can be really fun and entertaining.
Serving up a series of Japanese cuisine and seafood, this restaurant is perched high up above Bale Bajar Restaurant.
Thanks to that, you'll not only get to choose from yummy seafood, chicken, sushi and other set meals, you'll also enjoy sweeping views of the towering palm trees and the glowing sun as it heads to rest for the night.
If you're not one to eat in silence, don't worry, for this date is going to be one that entertains. And we're not just talking about the gorgeous sunset views that will have you occupied for a long time.
Watch the teppanyaki chefs as they flip, scoop, toss and turn your dishes into yummy perfection, creating a performance in its own right.
You may even be invited to participate in the process – although we're not too sure about whether we would want to dip our fingers into a bowl with fire in it.
Hey, but if you do burn yourself, all the better to get some tender loving care from your date, right (just kidding pleasedon'tdoit!)?

23. A view your friends will envy – ENVY
Never was a restaurant as aptly named as ENVY, Holiday Inn Resort's beachfront establishment, is.
This classy restaurant is located right on the beachfront, and provides a wholesome sensory experience that will have you tingling all the way through your date.
Not only are there panoramic and uninterrupted views of the sunset that go on and on, you'll also get some chill live music to create the perfect romantic atmosphere.
And, to top it all off, exquisite European delicacies will be served up, including pizzas and some creamy pasta. As smoking hot as you probably think your date is, we reckon nothing can beat the Smoked Salmon here.
If you're here for a special occasion and don't mind spending more money, you can opt for an even better experience with the Romantic Candlelit Dinner.
Imagine dining out on a private table on the beachfront, with special entertainment and little candles scattered all around. We promise you she'll say yes!

24. Watch a movie of the sunset – Lia Cafe Jimbaran
With little tables and chairs placed facing the beautiful white sands and ocean of the beach at Jimbaran, watching the sunset will probably feel like watching a movie.
And we wouldn't blame you for mistaking this for fiction, because how unreal is the beauty of the sunsets at Jimbaran beach?
Add to that an atmospheric candle placed on your table, which feels like your very own little sun. That definitely makes for one amazing date night – just don't fall in love with the view instead.
And of course, we're not forgetting the other thing that Jimbaran beach is so well known for – its succulent and super fresh seafood. Lia Cafe serves up everything from giant red snappers to lobsters, crabs and jumbo prawns.
It's not the cheapest out there, and neither is it adorned with the air-conditioning and luxury that we Children of the First World love so much.
But if you and your partner are seafood lovers who don't want to miss out on one of the best sunsets in Bali, this is a place you shouldn't miss.

25. A luxe beach lounge experience – Sunset Beach Bar and Grill
Unsurprisingly, with a name like that, chasing sunsets at this beach bar has never been so simple. Half-close your eyes on a bustling weekend, and it's easy to imagine celebrities sauntering down the beach, glass of wine in hand!
Overlooking Jimbaran Bay, sundowners at Sunset Beach Bar and Grill are truly magical – beautiful hues of pink, astonishing shades of orange turning into tones of blue and purple, like a colour palette ideal for your home.
At this beach bar, across the sandbank, you get to choose between a series of beach-facing tables and chairs, bean bags and private cabanas, but wherever you decide to settle, you can be sure to relish on impressive views of the ocean, while you sip on their Sunset Pitchers of Sangria.
If you want our recommendation, their top-notch wines are best enjoyed while you doze off in their bean bags, under the shade of trees, though you'll want to get up eventually to taste their fine contemporary seafood bites!
From 12.00pm to 10.30pm, the beach bar serves lunch and dinner and everything in between. And the best part? They also welcome families with open arms as they feature a Gelato Counter – a big hit among kids and teens, even adults with a sweet tooth too!

26. The soft charm of East Bali – Lezat Beach Restaurant
While the most glorious sunsets are often thought to be regions like Legian, Canggu, Kuta and Jimbaran, the east side of Bali has its own unique flavour as well.
Namely, Lezat Beach Restaurant, an open establishment that perches on a stone ledge right before Candidasa beach. Tables face the sea, and if you're sitting right out on the terrace, there's nothing in this world that could stop you from drinking in that sunset with your eyes.
Sunsets here are a softer affair. Watch the sky as it transforms into a beautiful canvas that's painted over and over again by hues of orange, pink and purple.
And while you're staring, don't forget to bite into Lezat's eclectic menu (not literally of course), with Indonesian, Balinese and Western dishes ready for your pick. Try out some fried calamari and one of the juiciest steaks you'll ever eat!
If you need some privacy (ahem), you can also choose to book a Candlelight Dinner Menu, which will have you and your loved one dining in a private dining area, with a long candle illuminating the night!
Lezat Beach Restaurant
Price range: Mains from Rp.55,000 (Approximately USD $3.90)
Address: Jl. Raya Candidasa Beach, Candidasa, Bali, Indonesia
