One of the best places to meet girls in Bali’s nightlife are the night clubs. There are all different types of joints from tourist-clubs with “Bule-oriented” girls, stylish and semi-open air beach bars where you can party the night away to hip and loud local clubs in Denpasar where you’ll get plenty of attention from the girls as not many foreigners go there.
Most of the night clubs in Bali are located in Kuta, Seminyak and Denpasar. You probably already know Kuta and Seminyak fairly well if you stay there (you should be, because it offers the best opportunities to meet girls), and Denpasar, well again it’s very local for the most part but can be fun for an adventure here and then.
Bali’s club scene is extremely sophisticated, you’ll notice soon how cool and modern these places look like (at least the best ones I’m listing here) and that the owners put in a lot of money and marketing efforts to attract boys and girls of all ages every night – which is not really a surprise as the clubs are the only legit place to get wild and naughty without worrying that the authorities raid and shut it down without prior notice (like it’s often the case with the KTVs and girly bars). Here is the updated list of the 5 best and most popular night clubs in Bali – with a clear priority on places that are not only well visited, but also suitable for meeting a nice Indonesian girl for the night:
Sky Garden (Kuta)
Sky Garden is Bali’s best night club in every category: There are six different rooms over four floors, the setup is the newest and most modern on the entire island, they have renowned international DJs (and get regularly voted into the top 100 clubs worldwide), and most importantly:
Just be aware that Sky Garden is also known for its huge number of “working girls”, means freelancers who are looking for financial sponsors. In any case, they expect you to buy a drink or two, and then you’ll figure out soon if she wants money for going home with you or not. Start off with a drink on the atmospheric Rooftop Garden Lounge, before heading inside to the different party rooms. Even though the entrance is expensive (see below), the drinks are not, and if you have only enough time for one club to visit in Kuta – Sky Garden it should be.
- Entrance Fee: 200k (weekdays) / 250k (weekends), including 2 beers or 1 spirit
- Girls’ Quantity: 10/10
- Working Girls: 70%
Favela (Seminyak)
La Favela is the hugely popular mix of bar and nightclub up in trendy Seminyak (just north of Kuta).
The ambience there is beautiful, it all looks like a piece of Brazil with the wooden furniture, well shaken cocktails and big Christ Statue on the rooftop. And lots of attractive Indo girls here as well – 90% of the local girls who want to meet a foreigner go to either Sky Garden or La Favela.

However, like you can see in my picture, there are also a few single ladies to be met. There is also a KTV in the same building (walk through the left door at the entrance) where young and lovely girls are available for company – either in the karaoke rooms, or to join you to the club.
