Local nightlife tip

If you’re heading to Bali’s nightlife, try starting your evening in Canggu around sunset. The beach clubs here have a nice mix of chill vibes and party energy, and because it’s less tourist-packed than Seminyak, you often get better service and friendlier crowds. One place that consistently scores top marks in reviews offers sunset drinks followed by a DJ set,plan to arrive early since it fills quickly. Also, bring cash, because some residential areas in Canggu still prefer cash payments, which can be easy to miss if you rely just on cards.
