Nusa Dua has nine beach clubs on one calm, reef-protected bay. The beach clubs in Nusa Dua are gentler and more family-friendly than the cliff venues up the coast in Uluwatu, and almost all of them are attached to a five-star resort.
The water here is calm and good for swimming, which sets the whole mood. Pricing is friendly. Some clubs are free to walk into, others run a daybed minimum spend or a cheap resort day pass, all redeemable on food and drink. Peak season runs June to September, plus the December and January holidays.
Most clubs line Nusa Dua Beach and Sawangan inside the gated ITDC resort complex, with CANNA on the Nusa Dua Selatan sand and one standalone club, Agendaz, over on the Tanjung Benoa side. For the surf-facing cliff clubs nearby, see our guide to beach clubs in Uluwatu, or the full list for Indonesia.

Several are. Reef Beach Club and The Beach Club at Courtyard by Marriott charge no entry and no minimum spend, and Manarai Beach House has no minimum for general seating.
Elsewhere you pay a daybed minimum spend that comes off your food and drink bill, from about IDR 550,000 at CANNA, or a cheap resort day pass from around IDR 175,000 at Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa.
Reef Beach Club
Reef Beach Club is the marquee club in Nusa Dua, part of The Apurva Kempinski Bali on golden sand. It's built around a 42-metre ocean-facing infinity pool lined with cabanas and loungers.
It scrapped its day-pass fee, so entry is free with no minimum spend and you only pay for what you eat and drink. There are watersports off the beach, an indoor restaurant, and nightly live entertainment with theme parties.
By day it's calm and good for families. Contact the culinary concierge to reserve a cabana, especially for sunset. Free entry, premium prices once you order.

CANNA
CANNA sits on the Nusa Dua Selatan sand, and it's built around sustainability, with beach cleanups and an organic-leaning kitchen. The white-sand beach here is one of the better snorkelling spots in the area.
Daybeds start around IDR 550,000, with cheaper day access from about IDR 100,000, and the minimum spend comes off your food and drink. Zones spread across the site, from beachfront to cliff, mezzanine and sky.
It's relaxed and family-friendly. Open daily 10am to 10pm, and you can book a daybed ahead through the club or a day-pass agent.
Manarai Beach House
Manarai Beach House is the design-led beach house at the five-star Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua, set around a popular ocean-view infinity pool.
General seating carries no minimum spend, so you can turn up just for a cocktail. Daybeds start at IDR 1,000,000, fully redeemable on food and drink, booked through the Sofitel site. The kitchen runs an international menu with signature cocktails.
It turns dressy at sunset, when the pool and ocean line up. One of the three names on every real Nusa Dua list.
Agendaz Beach Club
Agendaz Beach Club is the one true standalone club in the area, on the Tanjung Benoa side of the ITDC complex, about 20 minutes from the airport.
There are single and double daybeds and gazebos on white sand, plus a 10-metre infinity pool with a swim-up bar. The mood is a lively tropical party, with international DJs and sunset sessions.
Daybeds and gazebos run on minimum-spend packages, so contact them for current rates. Open daily 10am to 10pm.

Ayodya Beach Club & Grill is the beachfront grill of Ayodya Resort Bali, looking over a private 300-metre stretch of Mengiat Beach.
Beanbags, daybeds and parasols sit on the lawn and sand, with the resort's infinity pool open to anyone buying a day pass. The kitchen does chef's grilled dishes and cocktails in a relaxed, family setting.
It reopened after a refresh and reads well with visitors. Mid-range a la carte, with the pool tied to the resort day pass.
Kulkul Beach House
Kulkul Beach House is the beach house at The Laguna, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, on Nusa Dua Beach with cabanas set by the pool.
The kitchen leans zero-waste, with locally sourced ingredients and an all-day menu of food and cocktails. It's chic but relaxed, better for a slow lunch or a sunset drink than a party.
Contact the resort for day-access and daybed rates. Mid-to-upper prices for the area.
The Beach Club at Courtyard by Marriott
The Beach Club at Courtyard by Marriott is the beachfront outpost of Courtyard by Marriott Bali Nusa Dua Resort, reached by a free resort shuttle to the sand.
It's a genuine free-entry club with no minimum spend, so you can walk in, grab a lounger and order a la carte. Seating runs from oceanfront loungers to shaded tables and early-evening dining.
There's no online booking, so turn up on the day. Good value for families and anyone watching the budget.
Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa
Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa runs a Beach & Pool Day Pass rather than a dedicated club, at the traditional Balinese-style resort on Nusa Dua Beach.
IDR 175,000 net per person, from 7am to 5pm, gets you the pools, beach and wifi, plus IDR 300,000 of food-and-drink credit and IDR 150,000 for recreation like tennis, yoga and paddle boarding.
It's calm and family-oriented. Best seen as a value day on the sand, not a sunset DJ venue.
The Ritz-Carlton Bali
The Ritz-Carlton Bali sells a day pass and a beachfront lounge above Sawangan Beach, rather than a standalone club.
The Ultimate Day Pass opens the cliff-edge ocean-view infinity pool to non-guests, with IDR 500,000 dining credit, 30 minutes in the Hydro-Vital pool and spa savings. Breezes Beach Lounge does cocktails and light bites at sunset.
Sun loungers and cabanas on the white sand are free. It's calm, upscale and family-friendly, at premium prices.
Frequently asked questions about Nusa Dua beach clubs
How much do beach clubs in Nusa Dua cost?
It varies widely. Several clubs, including Reef Beach Club and The Beach Club at Courtyard by Marriott, are free to enter with no minimum spend. Daybed minimums start around IDR 550,000 at CANNA and reach IDR 1,000,000 at Manarai Beach House, both redeemable on food and drink. Resort day passes start near IDR 175,000.
Do you need to book beach clubs in Nusa Dua in advance?
For a walk-in lounger you usually don't. Reef, Courtyard and Nusa Dua Beach Hotel take same-day arrivals, and Courtyard has no online booking at all. Book ahead if you want a specific daybed or cabana at Manarai Beach House or CANNA, especially at sunset in peak season from June to September.
What is the best beach club in Nusa Dua?
Reef Beach Club at The Apurva Kempinski is the marquee choice, with free entry and a 42-metre infinity pool on golden sand. Manarai Beach House and CANNA round out the three names locals always mention. For a party rather than a family day, Agendaz Beach Club is the standalone pick on Tanjung Benoa.
Are Nusa Dua beach clubs good for families?
Yes, more so than most of Bali. The bay is calm and reef-protected, so the water is safe for swimming, and clubs like Ayodya Beach Club & Grill, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton run kids' areas and gentle pools. Free-entry Courtyard is an easy, low-cost option too.
Can you swim at the beach clubs in Nusa Dua?
Yes. Nusa Dua fronts a calm, reef-protected bay, unlike the surf beaches of Uluwatu, so swimming is easy and safe. CANNA sits on one of the better snorkelling stretches, and most clubs pair the beach with an infinity pool if you'd rather stay by the loungers.
When is the best time to visit Nusa Dua beach clubs?
The dry season from June to September brings the most reliable sun and the liveliest scene, along with the December and January holidays. The clubs stay open year-round since the bay is sheltered. Weekdays are quieter and easier for a walk-in daybed than weekends and public holidays.
