WOO BAR
Seminyak’s W Hotel is prime real estate when it comes to sunset cocktails, with the coveted Woo Bar offering one of the most in-demand sunset sessions for those who like their mojitos with a side of party vibes. Starting from 4pm every day, hotel guests, trendy expats, and travelers from across the globe gather in the sumptuous poolside deck to sample W’s signature cocktails, watch the sun go down, and psych themselves up for a big night ahead. The space doubles as a pool lounge, with plush day beds available for hire so you can sunbathe all day before dancing the night away.
ALILA SEMINYAK
Smooth, sexy, and utterly sublime, Alila Hotel on Seminyak Beach offers a luxury beachside location to watch the sun go down after a day of sightseeing or poolside relaxation. The Beach Bar is enticingly nestled against the deluxe infinity pool, with uninterrupted ocean views and the option to grab a daybed or armchair to indulge in one of Alila’s signature cocktails; try the Coco Django for a real taste of Southeast Asia. As the evening descends, chilled beach music sets the scene for an unforgettable sunset and the hours have a way of melting into one. Alila is the kind of place guests come for one glass of champagne and end up staying for a bottle, so don’t be surprised if you get sucked into the party vortex.
