When people think about beach clubs in Indonesia, Bali usually steals the spotlight. But if you’re willing to look beyond the Island of the Gods, you’ll discover plenty of stunning seaside hangouts scattered across the country, from hidden island resorts to stylish sunset bars overlooking crystal-clear waters.

Whether you’re planning a weekend escape from Singapore or exploring Indonesia beyond the usual tourist trail, these beach clubs and seaside bars deserve a spot on your itinerary.

Reaching these spots takes more planning than a typical Bali trip, several sit on smaller islands reachable only by boat or a short domestic flight, so it’s worth checking with your resort or a local operator about transfers before you commit to a date. Cash is still king at most of these beach clubs, especially the more remote ones, so don’t rely on cards being accepted everywhere.

1. TIIGO Beach Club – Batam

Just under an hour by ferry from Singapore, Batam has become more than just a shopping getaway. TIIGO Beach Club at Montigo Resorts offers infinity pools, beachfront daybeds, tropical cocktails, and panoramic sunset views over the South China Sea.

It’s the perfect destination if you’re looking for a luxury beach club experience without flying all the way to Bali.

2. White Sands Beach Club – Bintan

Located inside Lagoi Bay, White Sands Beach Club combines laid-back island vibes with water sports and beachfront dining.

Spend your afternoon kayaking or paddleboarding before winding down with fresh seafood and ocean views.

Don’t miss: Their beachfront bean bags during golden hour.

3. Maratua Paradise Beach Lounge – Maratua Island, East Kalimantan

Maratua Island remains one of Indonesia’s best-kept secrets. While it doesn’t have flashy beach clubs, its beachfront lounges deliver something even better: untouched turquoise waters, overwater villas, and sunsets without the crowds.

If you’re chasing serenity instead of parties, this is your paradise.

4. Jelajah Laut Beach Bar – Belitung

Belitung is famous for its giant granite rocks and crystal-clear beaches. Several beachfront restaurants and bars along Tanjung Tinggi Beach offer relaxed seating directly facing the ocean, making them perfect for sunset drinks after island hopping.

The atmosphere is casual, local, and refreshingly uncrowded.

5. Cocana Resort Beach Club – Labuan Bajo

Labuan Bajo is no longer just the gateway to Komodo National Park. Cocana Resort has introduced a stylish beachfront beach club where visitors can relax after a day of island hopping.

Expect tropical cocktails, infinity pools, live music, and one of the best sunset views in Flores.

Accessibility varies a lot across this list, Batam and Bintan are the easiest to reach, just a short ferry from Singapore, while spots like Maratua and Ora Beach in Maluku require considerably more effort to get to. That extra travel time is usually the tradeoff for the quieter, less-crowded experience these remote locations offer.

6. Kalandara Beach Club – Lampung

Overlooking the stunning coastline of Lampung, Kalandara Beach Club offers a more intimate experience than the mega clubs found in Bali.

With oceanfront pools, cozy cabanas, and dramatic coastal scenery, it’s becoming one of Sumatra’s rising lifestyle destinations.

7. Ora Beach Resort Seaside Lounge – Maluku

Often compared to the Maldives, Ora Beach sits between lush rainforest and vibrant coral reefs.

The resort’s wooden seaside lounge is ideal for slow mornings, snorkeling breaks, or simply enjoying fresh seafood while listening to gentle waves.

Luxury here comes from nature, not loud music.

8. Paradise Beach Club – Gili Trawangan

Technically part of Lombok, the Gili Islands have their own distinct atmosphere.

Paradise Beach Club offers beachfront cocktails, live acoustic music, and relaxed evenings where barefoot dancing is more common than dress codes.

It’s everything people love about island life without Bali’s busy crowds.

9. Blue Marlin Sunset Bar – Gili Air

If you’re after a quieter island experience, Gili Air delivers.

Blue Marlin’s seaside bar has become a favorite among divers and backpackers looking to unwind after exploring vibrant coral reefs. Grab a fresh coconut or a signature cocktail and stay until the sky turns shades of orange and pink.

10. Lelewatu Beach Lounge – Sumba

Sumba is quickly becoming Indonesia’s next luxury destination.

Perched on dramatic limestone cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, Lelewatu Resort’s beach lounge offers an unforgettable setting for sunset drinks, fine dining, and uninterrupted ocean views.

It’s refined, peaceful, and still flies under the radar compared to Bali.

Why Explore Beyond Bali?

Indonesia stretches across more than 17,000 islands, meaning incredible coastal experiences exist far beyond its most famous destination.

From Batam’s convenient beach clubs for Singapore travelers to the remote paradise of Maratua and the dramatic cliffs of Sumba, every destination offers a different way to experience Indonesia’s coastline.

If you’re looking for fewer crowds, unique landscapes, and fresh seafood without the tourist crowds of Bali, these ten spots prove that Indonesia’s coastline has far more to offer than its most famous island.

If you’re planning a trip around one of the more remote entries on this list, build in a buffer day for weather or transfer delays, boat schedules to smaller islands can shift with sea conditions, and it’s better to arrive a day early than risk missing your return connection.
