High end cocktails are the specialty of this new beachside haunt.
When it comes to spending your time at Uluwatu’s Karma Kandara, the opportunities are endless. This is particularly true when it comes to food and drink, with the luxury resort host to a handful of outstanding eateries, and a growing collection of drinking dens. The latest addition to its burgeoning population of venues is Le Club 22, tucked into the shoreline, on the famously white sands of the Bukit Peninsula.
The new bar’s focus is that of high end cocktails, dreamt up by the resident mixologist. Picture drinks crafted with unique Balinese ingredients, and reputable European spirits, in innovative new ways. The tipple is served alongside a curated menu of fresh Mediterranean dishes grilled over the barbecue, which celebrate the area’s ample fresh seafood. Accompany your meal with one of the bespoke cocktails, or one of the chilled wines available, rosé included.
Guests of Karma Kandara and visitors alike are welcomed to visit Le Club 22 and enjoy its unparalleled views of the Uluwatu reefs out front, making for the ultimate destination to watch Bali’s famous sunsets. It is also available for hire for private functions and intimate weddings.
