Enjoy World Class Hospitality At Bali International Convention Center
This convention center offers the largest indoor space of any place on the island, with a main hall that accommodates two and a half thousand people!
Bali International Convention Center (BICC), of course, suffers from a fairly corporate feel, but if you’re looking for a product launch party or a major team meeting, this is a good option.
The team here are very used to having to cater to massive groups and they pay excellent attention to the small details.

Forget Ocean Views, Be On The Ocean At Shivanna
Shivanna is not a standard event venue. It’s a yacht, and that means you do run the risk of inclement weather making your event a little rocky.
However, if you don’t mind rolling the dice, they can host up to 250 people on board, and you can enjoy a birthday party at sea.

Taman Bhagwan Enjoy The Natural Beauty Of Their Lawn
If you’re looking for something with a heavy dose of Balinese architectural style, then Taman Bhagwan in Benoa might be your cup of tea.
This is a very pleasant space, and the lawn can host huge numbers of guests in the outdoors, and there are plenty of smaller rooms that can be used as event venues within this structure too.

Aryaduta Bali An Unforgettable Setting For A Special Event
Despite the fact that the demand for holidays in Kuta has tailed off since the beach front was partially destroyed during fthe looding mitigation measures, Aryaduta is still an attractive events venue.
The large ballroom is ideal for corporate parties that want to use a large number of LED screens during their meeting.
Address: Jl. Kartika Plaza, Lingkungan Segara, Kec. Kuta, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361

Apurva Kempinski For An Intimate Gathering To A Huge Celebration
This is one of the most upmarket hotels in Bali, and they charge accordingly, but if you want an event venue in one of the world’s few “7-star” rated hotels, then the Apurva Kempinski is probably your only option in Bali.
Guests say it’s worth paying for if you like the wealthy style of this place, and the world-class service is a nice touch, too.
Address: Jl. Raya Nusa Dua Selatan No.4, Benoa, Kec. Kuta Sel., Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361

Bali Sunset Road Convention Center For Corporate Gatherings And Product Launches
The grand ballroom is the central attraction for parties at the Bali Sunset Road Convention Center as it can seat up to 1,300 people in a standard theatre layout, which makes it very easy to ensure that all eyes are on your speaker.
We’re not sure that we’d choose this place for cocktails and a day of rest and relaxation, but if you have a team building event to hold, this could be perfect for your party.

AYANA Resort Bali One Of The Most Versatile Event Spaces On The Island
This swish hotel on the shoreline in Jimbaran is very popular with people seeking a venue for weddings or private celebrations that are a little bit of a cut above.
Sure, it’s expensive, but the ocean views are nearly as good as they are at FINNS, and the vibe is more tranquil and laidback in the main.

The Trans Resort Bali Offers Exceptional Service
The Trans Resort is a nice, affordable option in a 5-star hotel property, and while the food isn’t the best that we’ve ever tried, it was great value for money.
We think it’s one of the best places Bali offers for small corporate events where attention to detail really matters.

Folk Pool And Gardens For Special Occasions In The Rainforest
While there are no other beach clubs on this list, except for FINNS, if you need a venue in Ubud with a nice view of the jungle, you might consider Folk Pool And Gardens.
It’s not got the same drive and upbeat feel as the world’s best beach club, but for an afternoon event with a chill vibe, it’s a good choice.

FAQs
Which Part Of Bali Is Best For A Party?
Canggu is where the main nightlife is at in Bali now. Of course, if you just want to hold a birthday party, you can do that at any spot in Bali, but if you want to enjoy dancing at beach clubs by the sea with a cocktail in hand? There’s no better spot than Canggu.
It’s also not far from the island’s other nightlife spots in Seminyak, Kuta and even Ubud, so if you ever get bored of Canggu (and we haven’t, so far), then there are plenty of other options practically on the doorstep.
One big advantage of Canggu is that there’s always a night out for every budget, and whether you want to sip champagne in a nightclub, quaff cocktails in a beach club, or sink beers on the sand, there’s something for you.
Which Island In Bali Is Best For Partying?
Bali is an island. And there’s no doubt that the best island in Indonesia for parties is Bali. The island has a unique Hindu culture that lends itself to world-class service and hospitality as well as a more relaxed relationship with alcohol than you will find in the rest of the archipelago.
And while people come from all over the world to enjoy Bali’s nightlife, it’s also an amazing spot for stunning private event spaces where you can host intimate celebrations, corporate events, a family gathering, business meetings, etc., with delicious food and spectacular ocean views.
It’s the ideal location to celebrate or to plan the next year as a team. You can be sure of a great venue that is the perfect setting for your event and it’s bound to be an unforgettable experience visiting the island.
However, if you’ve already found every ideal spot for a party on the mainland, you might consider a boat trip to the island of Gili Trawangan (which is in Lombok, not Bali, though it’s not far from Bali), which is the perfect place for seriously rowdy behaviour by the sea.
Where Is The Main Party Place In Bali?
The number one party place in Bali is FINNS Beach Club, and nothing else comes close. It has a wonderful modern design and many versatile spaces inside that allow the beach club to host everything from large events to an intimate gathering of friends (or family, assuming everyone is over 16 – FINNS is adults-only).
It focuses on delivering the world’s best party experience every single day, and with over 5,000 visitors a day for most of the year, we think they’ve succeeded.
We would urge you to book a daybed in advance if you want to go to FINNS and party, though, as the place can be sold out weeks ahead of time even in the low season.
And if you want to hold a private event in FINNS, it’s best to talk to their dedicated team for event planning to ensure you get the right deal.
Where Is The Best Place To Stay In Bali For Nightlife?
We would base ourselves in Canggu if we wanted to experience the best nightlife on the island. You don’t want to be too far away, as the traffic here can make even short journeys longer than necessary.
So, as the best party venues in Bali are in Canggu, we’d stay local and still have the flexibility to hit up Seminyak, Kuta, Ubud, etc. too, which are all a relatively short taxi journey away.
How Much Is It To Rent A Venue For A Party In Bali?
This is something of a “how long is a piece of string?” question. It very much depends on the event. Corporate gatherings of thousands of people are going to be much more expensive in most venues in Bali than a birthday party for a few close friends will be.
It will also depend on the venue. Our top choice of private event spaces in Bali is FINNS Beach Club because it’s reasonably affordable, but if you want to hold your event in the Apurva Kempinski, for example? Well, it’s going to be much more expensive than in FINNS.
You may also pay for the facilities that the venue has to provide; it’s not just the elegant design of that grand ballroom but also the AV equipment that delivers the ideal atmosphere for a corporate event and presentation.
Finally, there’s also the question of what the organiser of the private event will be paying for and what guests will cover themselves. If you want to have an open bar, you can expect to pay much more in the best event venues than you might if guests pick up their own tabs and you just put on some food.
So, overall, it’s best to contact the event spaces that you’re interested in holding your private event in and ask for a quotation. The prices tend to be reasonable compared to developed nations, and venues in Bali offer a host of additional benefits that many venues elsewhere cannot.
