Sundays in Berawa, Canggu don’t do the quiet end-of-week wind-down. If anything, the energy hits a distinct, new level that completely flips the script on standard weekend party schedules. It is Bali after all and there’s probably a lot of people on holidays.
Sunday is a specialized scene where the daylight beach crowd filters out, leaving a concentrated mix of locals, expats, and industry types who actually know what is going on. So, what is going on?
Sunday kicks off down on the beach. For the massive, high-energy beach club experience you can’t go past Finns Beach Club, which locks down the sunset-to-dark transition with large crowds, commercial sounds and big production, while Morabito handles the electronic crowd with its iconic, open-air deep house underground sessions right on the beach. Between dinner and midnight, like everywhere around the island, options are few, but you could try the newly renovated Mesa Bali Rooftop with live music and DJs for a chilled beginning to the night.
Things start to heat up before midnight as the crowds begin to fill the roads and pathways around the epicentre of Berawa’s nightlife scene―near the playing field on the corner of Jalan Pantai Berawa and Jalan Raya Semat.
For a polished, intimate and luxurious vibe, you can’t go past the indoor lounge at Miss Fish where they lock down their Sunday with proper selectors and dark rhythms. Their regular Sundaze event with DJs spinning the latest Afro, organic and melodic all night long could be the option you are looking for. The crowd is fancy and you will feel more attractive just being there.
Just back down the road, you could try The Shady Pig. They have a special night of urban and hip hip sounds on Sundays with the Royale collective. It is one of the few venues that isn’t spinning African influenced tunes on Sundays.
If you made it to Mesa’s Rooftop earlier, you could also just stay right there and enjoy the pumping Afro house tunes of Sondela Sundays on the two floors below. That always gets busy with lines down the street.
The final busy spot we are visiting tonight offers more Afro sounds on Sunday and is just around the corner. Jade features the Afro Roots crew with a very authentic take on the southern continent’s sound track. That’s every Sunday.
