Want to soak in a pool, bask in the sun, and snap photos on a daybed in Bali without breaking the bank on a day pass?
Actually, Bali has plenty of budget-friendly Day Clubs, Pool Clubs, and poolside restaurants where you don’t have to spend over IDR 1,000,000. Some are even free to enter with no minimum spend—just order a meal or drink and use the pool.
At some spots, hitting a certain spend gets you access to sunbeds, daybeds, or pool towels.
This setup is perfect for regular travelers: no need to pay hefty entry fees just to lounge by the pool for a few hours, and you can combine dining, swimming, photo ops, and chilling all in one go.
Here’s a roundup of the most notable affordable Day Clubs in Bali, stretching from Uluwatu and Melasti to Canggu, Seminyak, and Ubud.
Mrs Sippy｜Seminyak
If you’re after a pool club with vibe in Seminyak, Mrs Sippy is worth considering, but it’s not a free-entry Day Club. General admission requires a ticket, recently around IDR 100,000–150,000/person, and the entry fee may not be redeemable for food and drinks; for a Day Bed, there’s usually a higher minimum spend.
Therefore, Mrs Sippy is better suited for travelers who want to enjoy a combination of pool, music, dining, and Beach Club atmosphere all at once, rather than those simply looking for a cheap place to swim. If you’re on a budget, it’s better to choose general admission with pool access, which makes it easier to control spending than booking a high-consumption Day Bed.
Best for: Couples, friends, small groups, and travelers looking to soak up the lively Beach Club vibe in Seminyak.
Ocean Grand Beach Bali｜Seminyak
If you’re staying in Seminyak and don’t want to go all the way to Canggu or Uluwatu, you can check out Ocean Grand Beach Bali, located right in Seminyak.
It operates more like a Day Club + Restaurant, focusing on beachside dining, drinks, and poolside relaxation.
Officially positioned as a Day Club, it’s open from breakfast through dinner, and you can even dine by the pool.
It’s best arranged as:
Lunch → Pool relaxation → Afternoon drinks → Evening ocean views
If you’re already staying in Seminyak, you won’t need to arrange special transportation just to visit a Beach Club—instead, you can treat it as a half-day leisure activity near your accommodation.
Current public information does not clearly list the latest Daybed minimum spend or towel usage rules, so it’s best to confirm the day’s seating and pool access conditions before booking.
Best for: Travelers staying in Seminyak, those who want to dine and lounge by the pool, and sunset seekers.
Cocoon Seminyak | Seminyak
Cocoon Seminyak is located on Double Six Beach in Seminyak, combining a pool, bar, dining, and event space. It’s known for its laid-back poolside vibe, beachfront location, and versatile experience that transitions from daytime relaxation to evening gatherings.
Based on current information found:
- Free entry
- Pool access is free
- No minimum spend seating / Day Bed options
- Poolside Single Day Bed and Double Day Bed are both marked No minimum spend
- There are also regular seating areas like a restaurant, garden, and sports bar.
- Current opening hours are approximately 11:00–23:00.
- As of September 2026, recent info still indicates FREE POOL ACCESS / NO MINIMUM SPEND.
Best for: Couples, friends, and general travelers who want to relax by the pool in Seminyak for half a day, eat and drink, without being tied down by expensive day passes or high minimum spends.
Azul Beach Club｜Legian
Azul offers free entry, and regular dining seating has no minimum spend; if you want to lie directly on a poolside sun bed, the minimum spend is about IDR 150,000 per bed, which can be used for food and drinks. The infinity pool and whirlpool are accessible after ordering food and drinks.
The biggest draw here is the bamboo architecture by the beach and the infinity pool, perfect for couples and friends to enjoy lunch, swim, have a drink, and stay until sunset. Note that the pool and upper area currently have an age restriction of 15+, so families with kids shouldn’t consider it a primary pool option.

Alternative Beach｜Canggu
If you’re looking for a place in Canggu where you can enjoy the pool without breaking the bank, Alternative Beach is well worth joining. It’s not your typical beach club—instead, it centers around a large pool, a pool bar, day beds, and bean bags. The minimum spend is IDR 100,000 per person, which can be used toward food and drinks, a day bed, or pool towels—essentially turning that base cost into an afternoon of pool time.
It’s best suited for couples, friends, and younger travelers, especially those who want to swim, sip drinks, and soak up the sun without paying hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of rupiah for a day pass. Just keep in mind that Alternative Beach is not a seaside beach club, and it’s restricted to guests aged 17 and above, so it’s not ideal for families with kids.
COMO Beach Club｜Canggu
If you’re staying in Canggu and looking for a more relaxed, non-party pool spot, consider COMO Beach Club.
Located at COMO Uma Canggu, the atmosphere leans more toward a resort style, with ocean views, a pool, day beds, and full poolside service.
Currently, the official policy is that non-guests using the day beds by the pool require a minimum spend of IDR 500,000.
This fee isn’t a simple entry charge—it’s fully redeemable for food and drinks, and also includes:
- Pool access
- Daybed
- Towels
Each daybed can accommodate up to 3 people.
So if 2–3 people go together and split the cost, it essentially means using the budget you would have spent on food and drinks to enjoy the daybed instead.
It’s worth noting that non-guests should book a daybed in advance, as availability is limited.
Best for: Couples, families, those seeking a quieter pool experience, and Canggu guests.
Le Bajo｜Canggu Pererenan
Le Bajo is located in Pererenan and offers a more family-friendly ‘restaurant + pool’ concept.
Unlike larger beach clubs that emphasize a party vibe, it’s better suited for those who want to grab a meal, have a drink, and slowly enjoy the pool.
Currently, entry is free, and some seats may not require a minimum spend during certain hours; Daybeds have varying minimum spends depending on time and seating area.
So if you don’t have to snag the front-row Daybed, you can opt for regular seating and put your budget toward food and drinks instead.
If you want a specific Daybed, it’s best to check the minimum spend for that day in advance.
Best for: Travelers staying in Pererenan or Canggu, families with kids, and those looking to avoid large beach clubs.
More Canggu Food and Fun
Canggu is a hotspot on Bali that combines a relaxed atmosphere with trendy vibes.

Folk Pool & Gardens｜Ubud
In Ubud, you don’t have to head to the beach to enjoy a day club.
Located near Monkey Forest, Folk Pool & Gardens is a convenient poolside hangout right in the heart of Ubud.
Its biggest draw is the very low pool entry fee.
Current official prices:
- Pool entry: IDR 50,000 per person
- Sun Lounger: IDR 150,000 per person for 4 hours
- Daybed/Teepee: IDR 350,000 per bed, up to 4 people for 4 hours

Best for: Travelers in central Ubud, families, couples, budget-conscious travelers
TIS Café｜Ubud Tegallalang
TIS Café offers a different kind of Bali experience.
It’s more like a “scenic restaurant with a pool” than a traditional beach club.
Its biggest draw is the surrounding rice fields and natural scenery, making it a perfect addition to a Tegallalang day trip.
Current info shows entry is free, but using the pool and daybed requires a minimum spend of about IDR 300,000 per person.
So you can plan your itinerary like this:
See the rice terraces → have lunch → soak in the pool → take photos
This setup works best for travelers already heading to Tegallalang, no need to make a special trip just for a beach club.
Best for: Tegallalang, northern Ubud itineraries, nature-loving travelers
Jungle Fish Pool Bar｜Ubud
If you’re looking for a ‘forest version of Day Club,’ Jungle Fish Pool Bar is a standout choice.
Instead of a beach, it places its pool right in the forest and valley setting of Ubud.
The biggest highlight is the sweeping view of the lush green valley from the pool.
According to current official info, non-guests can enter for free, but different seating areas come with varying minimum food and drink spends.
Dining Table, Sofa, and Sun Lounger are around IDR 350,000 per person, while Daybed has a separate seating plan.
Towels need to be rented separately, currently about IDR 35,000 each.
So it’s not completely zero minimum spend, but if you’re already planning to have lunch or afternoon tea, factoring in the food and drink costs makes it a pool option worth considering.
Best for: Couples, those wanting to snap forest pool photos, Ubud travelers
Good Day Resto & Pool Bar｜Ubud Sayan
If you’re looking for a place with free entry, free swimming, and a chance to take a dip while you dine, Good Day Resto & Pool Bar is definitely worth adding to your list.
Located in the Sayan area of Ubud, it’s not in the bustling city center but surrounded by rice paddies and greenery, creating a very relaxed atmosphere. This spot combines a restaurant, pool bar, spa, and coworking space, with the standout feature being free entry and free pool access.
There are cushioned seats by the pool, a pool bar lounge, and regular restaurant seating; no day pass is needed to use the pool.
Older info even clearly stated there’s no minimum spend, and the latest details still confirm that ‘Entry and swimming are free.’ However, note that minimum spend for specific seats, towel fees, and reservation conditions are not publicly listed. If you want a particular spot by the pool, it’s best to check with the venue in advance.
Another plus for families: there’s a Kids Playground on-site, and the pool has different depth zones. Of course, kids still need adult supervision when using the pool.
If you just want a spot for lunch or coffee and then take a quick dip, Good Day’s setup is simpler than many beach clubs that require booking expensive daybeds.
Recent guest reviews also mention a meal costing around IDR 100,000–125,000 per person, with pool access included. But this is based on actual visitor spending, not a fixed set menu or minimum spend from the venue.
Best for: Budget travelers, families, Ubud guests, and anyone looking for free pool time.
Highlights: Free entry + free swimming + rice field views + pool bar + kids’ play area
LUME Café & Pool Bar｜Ubud
Ubud has a new noteworthy option—LUME Café & Pool Bar. If you’ve already explored Ubud’s town center and are looking for a spot to eat, sip drinks, and take a dip in the pool, LUME is worth adding to your list.
Since LUME just opened recently, there isn’t much public information online yet. So, it’s best to check the latest rules on entry, minimum spend, and whether day beds and towels are included before you go. Compared to large beach clubs, this kind of café and pool bar is better suited for a half-day itinerary of ‘eating + swimming + chilling out,’ rather than splurging on a pricey day pass.
Best for: Travelers who want to explore a new spot in Ubud, enjoy a pool and dining combo, and skip the high-cost beach club scene.
Habitat Bistro Restaurant Ubud｜Ubud
If you’re looking for a stress-free pool experience in Ubud, Habitat Bistro Restaurant Ubud by Wonderspace, located within Kaamala Resort, is a fantastic find. They offer a ‘Splash & Unwind’ activity, with the highlight being free access to the infinity pool with no minimum spend required.
This means you don’t need to buy an expensive day pass—just order a drink or a meal at the restaurant, and you can jump into the pool and soak in the lush jungle views. It’s perfect for travelers who want to avoid high minimums and enjoy a half-day of ‘eating + swimming + relaxing.’ Just a heads-up: free pool access doesn’t guarantee a specific lounger. If you’re visiting during peak hours or want to confirm towel and changing room policies, it’s best to check with the venue beforehand.
- Best for: Budget-conscious solo travelers, couples, and anyone looking for an affordable infinity pool experience with a laid-back vibe in Ubud.
- Highlights: Free entry + free pool access + no minimum spend + jungle mountain view infinity pool.

Banana Lounge | Bingin
If you’re looking for a place where you can “enjoy the pool without a minimum spend,” Banana Lounge fits the bill perfectly.
Located in Bingin, this isn’t a massive luxury beach club but a more laid-back lounge, restaurant, and pool combo.
According to current official info, entry is free with no minimum spend, the pool is open to guests, and they even provide free towels, showers, and changing rooms.
That means you don’t have to shell out for a pricey day pass—just order a meal or a drink, and you’re free to take a dip.
For travelers who just want to kick back for a few hours in Uluwatu, this setup is incredibly convenient.
Best for: Budget-conscious travelers, couples, those who want to snap photos and swim without paying for a day pass.
Delpi Cafe｜Uluwatu
Delpi Cafe is located in the Uluwatu Suluban area, offering the unique perk of enjoying ocean views while using the pool.
It feels more like a seaside café than a large beach club, so the overall cost is relatively affordable.
Current information suggests the pool access minimum is around IDR 100,000.
If you’re planning a day trip to Uluwatu—hitting the beach or sights in the morning—and want a spot to grab a bite and take a dip in the afternoon, Delpi Cafe is a solid option to consider.
Note that there isn’t enough reliable, up-to-date info to confirm whether towels are included, so it’s best not to count on ‘free towels’ as a selling point.
Best for: Half-day Uluwatu explorers, travelers wanting ocean views plus a pool dip
Magus Warung｜Melasti Beach
Located near the famous Melasti Beach, Magus Warung is another more laid-back option.
It offers free entry, with no minimum spend at some seats, so if you just want to eat, have a drink, and enjoy the sea view, you don’t need to pay a hefty entrance fee upfront.
However, note that not all sunbeds by the pool are free.
According to current information, the minimum spend for some poolside sunbeds is around IDR 500,000–750,000.
So if you’re just looking for a place to eat, you can choose regular seating; if you plan to lounge on a poolside sunbed all afternoon, be sure to check the day’s minimum spend first.
This spot is better suited as a “Melasti Beach dining and relaxation” choice rather than a place purely for a free pool experience.
Best for: A day trip to Melasti Beach, travelers seeking a seaside restaurant to unwind
Timbis Beach Club｜Pandawa
Despite its name, Timbis Beach Club operates differently from many large, high-end beach clubs in terms of pricing and consumption model.
The official basic package is approximately IDR 200,000 per person, with different seating options carrying varying minimum spends.
For example:
- Sky Area: IDR 200,000 per person
- Anjungan: IDR 200,000 per person
- Beanbag: IDR 350,000 per person
- Single Bed: IDR 400,000 per person
- Sun Lounger: IDR 550,000 per person
- Daybed: IDR 1,500,000 (up to 4 people)
Some packages include a Beach Towel.
If you don’t go for the front-row sun loungers and instead choose a more basic area, the cost can be kept within a relatively reasonable range.
So if you’re planning a trip around Pandawa Beach, you can treat Timbis as a leisure option with sea views and a pool.
Best for: Travelers visiting the Pandawa and Melasti area who want sea views plus a pool.

Byrd House Bali｜Sanur
If you’re traveling with kids, I’d highly recommend adding Byrd House Bali to your itinerary. Located by the beach in Sanur, current public info shows it’s free to enter with no minimum spend—you can use the pool, kids’ pool, and some leisure facilities, just paying for what you order. Recent updates also confirm it’s one of the few truly ‘Free Entry + No Minimum’ pool-style beach clubs in Bali.
Byrd House’s biggest draw isn’t nightlife—it’s comfortable, relaxed, and family-friendly. With a kids’ pool, play areas, and chill spaces near the beach, adults can enjoy a meal or coffee while the little ones have room to play. If you don’t want to drop a big chunk of cash on a pool day pass, this place makes it much easier on the wallet.
Best for: Families, couples, and travelers looking for a laid-back half-day outing.

Reef Beach Club｜Nusa Dua
If you’re staying in Nusa Dua and want to experience the pool and beach environment of a five-star resort without paying for a typical Resort Day Pass, Reef Beach Club is a unique option. Located inside The Apurva Kempinski Bali, current information shows free entry, with complimentary access to the pool and regular loungers, and no minimum spend; however, advance reservations are required, and some premium Cabanas may have a minimum spend or deposit.
The biggest draw here is the setting: a 42-meter Infinity Pool facing the Indian Ocean, with an overall resort atmosphere that feels far more upscale than your average pool bar. For couples or travelers staying in Nusa Dua looking for a laid-back afternoon, think of it as a five-star pool experience without the Day Pass fee. Just keep in mind that reservations are mandatory, so you can’t just walk in and expect pool access anytime. [Reservation Link]
Manarai Beach House｜Nusa Dua
Another great option for a half-day of relaxation in Nusa Dua is Manarai Beach House. Situated right by the beach at Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort, it features two pools, sandy Day Beds, a restaurant, and a bar—all with free entry and no need for a traditional Day Pass. Recent info also suggests no enforced minimum spend in general.
If you want to use the nicer beachfront Day Beds or Sofas, there may be a minimum spend option; recent rates start around IDR 250,000 for two people, which is redeemable on food and drinks, making it ideal for couples or pairs of friends.
Manarai’s charm lies in combining pool, white sand beach, and dining all in one spot, offering a more resort-like vibe than a simple poolside restaurant. It’s perfect for travelers staying in Nusa Dua who want a comfortable half-day escape without shelling out for a pricey Day Pass upfront.
Best for: Couples, friends, small groups, and anyone wanting to soak up Nusa Dua’s resort atmosphere.
Cost concept: Free entry; no enforced minimum spend for general seating, but some Day Beds/premium seats come with a minimum spend option.
More Things to Do, Eat, and Drink in Nusa Dua

When Choosing a Day Club, Don’t Just Look at ‘Free Entry’
“Free entry” doesn’t mean sunbeds are free; “minimum spend” doesn’t always mean an extra charge—in some places, the minimum spend can be fully used for food and drinks.
What you really need to compare is:
What’s the minimum spend? Can it be offset against food and drinks? Does it include pool access? Does it include a daybed? Are towels provided?
Once you clarify these points, it becomes much easier to find a Bali Day Club that truly suits you.
A final reminder: prices, seating rules, and minimum spend at Bali’s Day Clubs may vary depending on peak season, weekends, events, or venue policies. Be sure to double-check the latest prices and booking conditions before you go, especially the rules for daybed and pool use.
