Day Clubs in Ubud: 6 Jungle Pool Spots to Know
Think day clubs and your mind probably goes straight to Seminyak, Canggu or Uluwatu. But head inland and the scene takes on a very different mood. In Ubud, the ocean is replaced by jungle canopies, rice terraces, river valleys and waterfalls, while poolside lounging comes with a distinctly tropical backdrop.
So, are there day clubs in Ubud? Absolutely. While they may not have the sandy beachfront setting of Bali’s coastal clubs, Ubud’s pool clubs bring their own version of the day-to-night lifestyle—complete with DJs, cocktails, daybeds and plenty of reasons to stay longer than planned.
Here are some Ubud day clubs and poolside spots to put on your radar.
The Jungle Club Ubud
If you are looking for a day club in Ubud that actually feels like a day club, The Jungle Club is a natural place to start. Hidden among the greenery of southern Ubud, the venue combines infinity pools, elevated decks, bamboo architecture, dining and a programme of music and entertainment. Its current opening hours run from 10am to 8pm, making it particularly suited to a proper afternoon session.
The mood is more intimate than the mega beach clubs down south, with jungle surroundings doing much of the visual heavy lifting. Add a few cocktails, pool time and its Jungle Awakening entertainment programme, and you have a very different kind of Bali party.
Come for: Jungle views, poolside lounging and a more boutique day-club atmosphere.
Cretya Ubud
You have probably seen the photos. Perched among the Tegallalang rice terraces, Cretya Ubud is one of the most recognisable names in Ubud's pool-club scene—and for good reason.
Its multi-level infinity pools overlook the emerald landscape, while daybeds, hammocks, food, drinks and music turn the venue into an all-day affair. The official venue currently lists a First Drink Charge of IDR 220,000, with premium seating available through minimum-spend packages.
The pool area is adults-only, so expect more of a grown-up social atmosphere rather than a family pool day.
Come for: Rice-terrace views, infinity pools and that instantly recognisable Ubud aesthetic.
OMMA Dayclub Bali
Located around Tegenungan, OMMA takes the pool-club formula and drops it into one seriously dramatic natural setting. The venue looks towards the waterfall, giving the usual poolside cocktail moment a little more jungle drama.
With a pool, dining, drinks and music, it works for those who want to turn a waterfall visit into a longer afternoon rather than simply taking a few photos and moving on. Current Ubud day-club guides continue to list OMMA among the area's key poolside destinations.
Come for: Waterfall views, poolside drinks and a lively afternoon away from the coast.
Kabana Jungle Pool Club
For something that leans further into the jungle-club fantasy, Kabana Jungle Pool Club brings together tropical surroundings, poolside lounging, food, drinks and entertainment.
Part of the K Club experience, Kabana offers a more social take on the Ubud pool day. It is the sort of place where you can arrive for a swim, settle in for lunch and find yourself staying for cocktails and music.
The venue has also been associated with more experiential activities, including cocktail-making sessions, so there is a little more happening than simply claiming a sunbed and staying there all afternoon.
Come for: Jungle energy, cocktails and a social pool day.
Folk Pool & Gardens
Not every Ubud pool club requires a drive deep into the jungle. Located on Monkey Forest Road, Folk Pool & Gardens puts the pool-party mood much closer to central Ubud.
The concept combines a swimming pool, poolside dining, garden surroundings and a swim-up bar, making it an easy option when your itinerary already includes Ubud's restaurants, shops and cultural attractions.
It is less about an all-out beach-club-style party and more about spending a few lazy hours in the sun with a drink in hand—which, frankly, sounds like a pretty good Ubud afternoon.
Come for: Central Ubud convenience, swim-up drinks and a relaxed social scene.
Titi Batu Ubud Club
If your idea of a day club involves a little more than cocktails and lounging, Titi Batu Ubud Club brings a lifestyle angle to the mix. The destination combines poolside leisure with fitness, sports and social spaces, making it a good option for those who want to be active before settling into the afternoon.
It is a different interpretation of Bali's club culture—less sit pretty on a daybed all day, more swim, move, eat, hang out and then see where the afternoon goes.
Come for: An active day out, pool time and a social club atmosphere.
And when the afternoon turns into evening, our Ubud nightlife guide has the rest of the night covered.
