Mari Beach Club is one of the most beautiful and thoughtfully designed spots we visited in Bali. From the moment you walk in, it feels like more than just a beach club, it feels like an experience that combines architecture, culture, and scenery all in one. The entrance is striking, with its natural bamboo arches creating a grand yet organic welcome that sets the tone for everything that follows. The whole place blends seamlessly with the beachfront setting, giving it a laid-back elegance that makes you want to spend the whole day there.
The pool area is stunning, perfectly placed to look out over the beach and the ocean beyond. The loungers and daybeds are comfortable, with plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The music creates a great vibe, upbeat but not overwhelming, and everything feels curated to strike that balance between lively and relaxing. Watching the sunset from Mari was incredible. The way the light hit the bamboo architecture and the pool while the sky turned orange and pink was one of those moments that felt almost surreal.
The food and drinks matched the atmosphere. The cocktails were creative and refreshing, made with fresh ingredients that felt light but full of flavor. The menu had a mix of local and international dishes, and everything we tried tasted fresh and carefully prepared. It is clear that they put thought into presentation as well, which made each plate feel special. The service was smooth and friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our time there.
What makes Mari stand out compared to other beach clubs is how it manages to feel both high-end and grounded in Balinese culture. The use of natural materials, the flowing open design, and the connection to the beach give it a warmth and authenticity that sets it apart. It is stylish and luxurious, but it does not lose that sense of place, which made it feel truly memorable. For us, Mari was a perfect mix of relaxation, beauty, and celebration, and it easily earns five stars.
