So picture this. You’re in Canggu, Bali’s ever-buzzing surf town, riding past rice fields, cafes with avocado toast and flat whites, and scooters zipping by. Then, tucked right on Batu Mejan beach, you spot it — COMO Beach Club. It’s not your typical wild beach club with champagne showers and over-the-top parties. Nah, this one is different. Think laid-back luxury. Think surf shack but make it fancy.
COMO is part of the COMO Uma Canggu resort, one of those names that instantly says style and class. But here’s the twist — unlike many of Bali’s beach clubs that go heavy on the party vibe, COMO feels like that chic friend who knows how to relax, sip cocktails, and still look flawless while doing it.
And in 2025? It’s still one of the best spots in Canggu for a mix of good food, ocean views, live music, and that feeling of being somewhere stylish but not snobby.
Getting There
Okay, so how do you even get to COMO Beach Club?
The club sits right on Echo Beach (Batu Mejan Beach) in Canggu. It’s super central if you’re already staying around Canggu or Pererenan. But Bali traffic being Bali traffic… if you’re coming from Seminyak or Kuta, allow at least 45 minutes (sometimes more) because the roads are narrow and always busy.
Here’s what you need to know:
- By scooter: The easiest option. Just follow Google Maps to COMO Uma Canggu. Parking for scooters is usually fine.
- By car: Possible, but the lanes in Canggu are tiny. If you’re hiring a driver, drop-off is smoother than parking.
- On foot: If you’re staying in central Canggu, a morning walk along the beach is actually the best way to reach it. Shoes optional
Pro tip: sunsets here are unreal, but everyone knows it. So if you’re aiming for golden hour, either book ahead or come early before it fills up.
Why COMO Beach Club Is Famous
So what’s the big deal? Why is everyone raving about COMO when Bali already has a million beach clubs?
- It’s part of COMO Hotels – The brand itself screams elegance. COMO is famous globally for wellness resorts, chic interiors, and service that makes you feel like royalty.
- Not your typical beach club – It’s not about EDM DJs or foam parties. Instead, it’s more refined: live acoustic music, cool DJ sets, and crowd vibes that are more stylish than rowdy.
- Food and cocktails – COMO nails its menu with fresh ingredients, a blend of Balinese flavors and international favorites, plus their COMO Shambhala healthy kitchen options for those detox days.
- Ambience – Oceanfront views, bamboo-roof design, aqua-tiled pool, cozy lounge beds… it just looks good. Like, “Instagram filter not needed” kinda good.
- Sunday brunches – Their brunch scene is one of the best in Canggu. Long, slow, beachy, with cocktails flowing.
Basically, it’s where surfers, digital nomads, honeymooners, and stylish travelers all find common ground.
Entry & Costs
Unlike some beach clubs in Bali, COMO doesn’t hit you with a massive entry fee.
Here’s the lowdown for 2025:
- Day entry: No mandatory entry fee if you just want to dine or have drinks.
- Minimum spend: Around IDR 400k–600k (USD $25–$40) for poolside beds or sofas. Totally reasonable considering you’ll likely eat and drink more than that anyway.
- Hotel guests: If you’re staying at COMO Uma Canggu, you get direct access, priority seating, and can charge everything to your room.
- Sunday brunch: Usually a set menu or buffet around IDR 700k+ per person, depending on promotions.
So yeah, not “cheap Bali prices,” but not outrageous either for what you get.
Ambience
This is honestly where COMO Beach Club wins hearts.
- The design – Imagine a surf shack but dressed up by an interior designer. Bamboo roofing, aqua pool tiles, cushioned loungers, and modern touches. It’s chic but cozy, not sterile.
- The view – Right in front of the Indian Ocean. Waves crash, surfers ride, and you’re sipping your cocktail from a daybed. Life = sorted.
- The vibe – During the day it’s chilled: couples, families, surfers coming in for a smoothie bowl. By late afternoon, it shifts into a sunset lounge with music and cocktails. At night, it’s stylish but not loud — no massive bass drops shaking the floor.
I’d call it refined energy. Enough buzz to keep it fun, but not overwhelming. Perfect for people who want to socialize without chaos.
Party Scenes
Now don’t get me wrong — COMO isn’t “boring.” It just parties differently than your typical Bali spots.
- Live Music – Acoustic sets in the afternoons, local bands doing chill beachy vibes.
- DJ Nights – House, soulful tunes, nothing too crazy. Perfect for sipping cocktails by the pool while you groove lightly.
- Special Events – Brunch parties, cocktail masterclasses, and occasional collabs with guest DJs.
Basically, if you’re looking for wild champagne-popping, dance-on-the-table madness, head to Finns or Mrs Sippy. If you want a night where you’ll still feel fresh the next morning for your yoga class or surf session, COMO is the vibe.
What’s Not Good About COMO Beach Club
Okay, so no place is perfect, and COMO has its downsides too. Let’s be real:
- Not budget-friendly – It’s definitely pricier than your local warung. Drinks average IDR 150k ($10), mains around IDR 250k ($16+). For Bali, that’s “expat prices.”
- Less party, more chill – If you’re after hardcore nightlife energy, COMO might feel too tame.
- Crowds at sunset – Everyone wants the sunset view. It gets busy, and without a booking, good seats might be gone.
- Service can feel slow at times – Like many Bali spots, if it’s packed, getting cocktails refilled takes patience.
- Not the “local Bali vibe” – This is polished luxury. If you’re chasing authentic beach shack feels, head to La Brisa or smaller Canggu bars.
So yeah, COMO is awesome but not for everyone. If you’re on a tight budget or want to rave, maybe look elsewhere.
Final Thoughts
COMO Beach Club Bali is where elegance meets surf culture. It’s not the craziest party, not the cheapest drinks, and not the rowdiest crowd — and that’s exactly why people love it.
Here you get:
- Gorgeous ocean views
- Food and cocktails worth coming back for
- A party vibe without the hangover chaos
- That “treat yourself” feeling that makes Bali trips special
So, is it worth it? Absolutely. Just know what you’re going for: style, sunsets, and sophistication — not wild party madness.
