FAQs
Is FINNS The World’s Best Beach Club?
We haven’t been to every beach club in the world, but yes, we believe that as we go to press, FINNS is the world’s best beach club.
It offers much more than most beach bars could dream of. From world-class entertainment to amazing pools to swim in, it has three restaurants, eleven bars and seven kitchens working to ensure your every desire is attended to.
Most of all, FINNS works hard to keep reinventing and redefining the beach club experience. It’s one of the only beach clubs we know of that believes that keeping people happy and entertained will ensure that they spend money, as opposed to levying sky-high minimum spends and charging substantial entrance fees.
Does Australia Have Beach Clubs?
Yes, there are quite a few beach clubs in Australia and they’re building more every day. However, it’s been a slow start there and many Australians are involved in the bigger, better beach club scene here in Bali.
Nearly 1 in 4 visitors to Bali are from Australia and that means you will find plenty of Australians enjoying the best beach clubs on the island too.
How Much Does It Cost To Get Into FINNS Beach Club?
There is no entrance fee for FINNS Beach Club, you will also find that you can take a seat in the restaurant and bar areas without incurring any kind of minimum spend.
That means if you want to visit, you will only pay for what you consume (drinks, tobacco or food).
However, if you want to sit by the pools or in the garden area, you will need to agree to a minimum spend. This is an amount to be spent on food, drinks and/or tobacco. There is no charge for the seats themselves.
As we go to press, you can get a seat for 6 people in the garden for a minimum spend of only 1,000,000 IDR (Indonesian Rupiah) which might sound like a lot but is equivalent to $60 USD or $100 AUD.
That’s roughly the cost of one drink per person. We find that FINNS prefers its customers to have a great time and to voluntarily spend their money rather than trying to extract it before you’ve even had a chance to see what’s going on.
Where Are The Best Beach Clubs In The World?
We think Bali has the best beach clubs in the world and that’s because it has so many beach clubs. Check out our list and you will see there are over 100 beach clubs on this small island.
It’s home to the world’s best beach club in FINNS, the world’s second largest club in Atlas, the most sustainable club in Potato Head and so on.
Final Thoughts On The Best Beach Clubs In The World
Our message is unlikely to change for the near future and we say this a lot but if we could only visit one beach club in the world, it would be FINNS.
It offers world-class entertainment, an amazing infinity pool area on the oceanfront, incredible bars, happening party restaurants and most of all, it’s constantly redefining excellence.
They don’t rest on their laurels at FINNS at all, they’re always working to improve the beach club experience and that’s an amazing feat when they already set the bar so high.
However, the rest of our best beach clubs in the world are no slouches and each beach club brings something different to the table from white sandy beaches in St. Tropez to unique swimming pools.
And you can find them everywhere from the North Sea Coast to spots all around the Atlantic Ocean. If you want a beach club, there’s one relatively close to you, right now.
