The Day, In Order

One in the lagoon, one in the infinity pool across the road — and at both, the stools are under water.

The Lobby Bar · 10:00 – 01:00

The last thing open, and the first drink you are handed

The welcome drink is poured here before you have seen your suite, and fifteen hours later it is the last thing still serving. Deep seating, low jazz, and fire torches across the ponds after dark.

The Ramayana cocktails

Rama

The seventh avatar of Vishnu — wise, kind, devoted. Vodka infused with chamomile tea, pineapple, vanilla and orange bitters.

Sita

Gentle, strong-willed, and the reason for the whole story. Maker’s Mark, salted mung bean cordial, palm sugar and Peychaud’s.

Rahwana

The antagonist — powerful and stubborn. Archipelago dry gin, grapefruit, passion fruit, elderflower shrub and carbonated bitters.

There is also a pair of heritage cocktails built on Arak Bali, the local spirit distilled from palm-flower wine: Desa Karangasem with tamarind and salak, Desa Buleleng steeped with butterfly pea. Wine, beer and coffee are poured here too — this is a lounge as much as a cocktail bar.

Where they are

The Lobby Bar and the Lagoon Pool Bar are in the resort. The Infinity Pool Bar and Sakala Beach Bar are at Sakala Beach Club, directly across the road and about two minutes on foot.

Not staying with us?

The beach club bars are open to visitors and parking is free. If you would like the pools and a lounger alongside the drinks, the day pass covers both — and three quarters of it comes back as resort credit you can spend at the bar.
