Aperol Sunset Festival Lights Up Bali's Golden Hour
When the sky turns orange, the party begins. Aperol Sunset Festival returns to Bali with six weeks of iconic views, beats, and that signature spritz glow. The golden hour just got its own six-week headliner. Back and bolder than ever, Aperol Sunset Festival 2025 is taking over Bali from 18 July to 31 August 2025, transforming the island’s most iconic venues into an orange-drenched celebration of sunshine, rhythm, and that bittersweet fizz of Aperol Spritz. What started as the Aperol Summer Festival has evolved and matured into something more intimate, and honestly, more Bali. Because in this part of the world, it’s not summer that defines the vibe, it’s the sunsets. And no one understands that golden-hour glow better than Aperol. With 25 handpicked venues – from clifftop daybeds to beach club dance floors – the Aperol Sunset Festival is more than a drink with a view. It’s a sensory takeover. Picture chilled-out DJ sets melting into soulful twilight beats, Aperol cocktails in hand, and the sky doing its dramatic nightly thing. Orange never looked this good. At the heart of it? The Aperol Spritz, aka the official drink of golden hour. A perfect 3:2:1 mix of Prosecco, Aperol, and soda with a slice of orange, it’s light, refreshing, and dangerously photogenic. Most places serve cocktails. Aperol serves mood. This year’s line-up includes six massive parties, kicking off at Alila Seminyak on 18 July. From there, the spritz trail hits the likes of Finns Beach Club (1–7 August), W Bali Seminyak (10 August), Café del Mar (15 August), KU DE TA (22 August), and wraps up with a sunset grand finale at Sundays Beach Club on 31 August. Expect Aperol Vespa photo ops, custom kombi bars, special menus inspired by Italian cicchetti (small bites, big flavor), and dance floors that glow orange by dusk. Whether you’re lounging with toes in the sand or dressed to impress under disco lights, there’s a vibe here with your name on it. And because it’s Bali, there’s something happening every day. Pop-up promos, exclusive pairings, and curated sunset sets will roll out daily across all participating venues. Aperol Spritz @aperolspritzid
