There's no better way to set the tone of this article than with a quote from the man, the myth, the legend himself—Pitbull. "Life is not a waste of time, and time is not a waste of life. So let's not waste any time, get wasted, and have the time of our lives." Period!
Party animals can agree that Bali beach clubs awaken the nightlife in you.
This tropical paradise invites people to come and forget about life's worries, let go, and just go with the flow. It's also pretty common to make instant friends with like-minded people and go on spontaneous parties, as everyone is chasing the same island thrill.
So keep on reading as we compare Atlas Beach Club and Finns Beach Club in Bali to find out which suits your vibe better!
Here's the down low on Atlas and Finns:
Atlas Beach Club
Welcome to the biggest beach club in the world and home to the biggest nightclub in Bali called Atlas Superclub! It's a cool place to chill on sun loungers with friends by the pool during the day, but at night it has an electric atmosphere where you let loose after a couple of drinks.
They’ve always got events and performances in store for you, from cultural performances to DJ takeovers. If you check, their Instagram page is filled with wild recaps that give you a taste of what a solid night you and your friends can experience there!
Location: Jalan Pantai Berawa No. 88, Desa Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kab. Badung, Bali
Operating hours: 10:00 - 0:00
Finns Beach Club
Located in Finns Bali, this beach club is just one of the many attractions on site alongside Splash Waterpark, Strike Ten Pin Bowling, Bounce Trampoline Centre, and more. Finns Beach Club claims to be the world's best, located right on the most famous 170m beachfront in Bali. You can avail of a day pass or other packages for their facilities to suit your family or friend group's taste.
Watch out because, by 2024, they'll be opening up a new section of the beach club with its own nightclub! Of course, there’ll also be more room for new dining options, a beer garden, a speakeasy bar, a wine cellar, and so much more.

Battle of the Bali Beach Clubs
Day bed prices
Atlas Beach Club
Atlas Beach Fest is their main beach club, apart from their VVIP & VIP sofa and backstage options, which can get quite pricey. But they also have more affordable day beds to choose from, like sliding pool, island, ground, and lagoon day beds.
Their daybeds are good for four people, so dividing 259.10 AUD among you and three other friends is only 64.7 AUD per person!
Finns Beach Club
Finns Beach Club has slightly more variety when it comes to seating.
On their website, a single sun lounger/day bed at their Beach Party area costs about 69.5 AUD—it's the perfect option if you're solo travelling to Bali.
If you're with a large group of friends, you can book an entire elevated Party Platform that fits 20 people, with two complementary drink buckets, a dedicated wait staff, alcoholic popsicles, and more. This one costs 1,968 AUD on Finn's site, which comes out to 98.4 AUD per person if you max out the capacity.
For groups of six, their beach-front Deluxe bed package starts at 886.45 AUD on Klook, complete with an English-speaking 12-hour car charter! That's 148 AUD per person—83 AUD higher than at Atlas Beach Club.
To be fair, Finns Beach Club offers more free inclusions, but if you have a tighter budget and don't need valet service, go for Atlas!
The vibes
Atlas Beach Club
Don't be fooled by the name "club"; Atlas Beach Club during the day is a good place to relax and watch the sunset over cocktails. The real party starts at night at the biggest nightclub in Bali—Atlas Superclub.
This premium three-level industrial-style nightclub has dope lights, excellent sound systems, and a big open dance floor in the middle. The vibes are simply immaculate, so let the music move you for an unforgettable night!

Finns
Finns Beach Club has more family-friendly options, given that they have different entertainment and recreational facilities. So while the younger ones in the group are bowling, the adults can have a drink and shisha all afternoon with party music playing in the background. You'll have a great day mingling with other beach club visitors who you'll vibe a lot with.
It's good to note that not all seatings will have equal beachfront views. Those who paid a premium for the Finns VIP Beach Club package get to stay in a more exclusive area right at the beachfront. But no matter the seating, it's still an endless summer party over here!
Food and beverage
Atlas Beach Club
One look at Atlas Bali's food menu will have you absolutely drooling. A few of the meat dishes you can order are Lamb Curry, Tongseng Short Ribs, and Beef Ribeye Skewers.
The Beef Ribeye Skewers are topped with salad on a bed of fragrant herbed cous cous, all on toasted garlic pita bread with a side of black pepper sauce. If you're pescatarian, they have a lobster roll, grilled king prawns, tuna ceviche, a couple more fish options, and fresh salads.
Don't even get us started on their desserts! Try their Pisang Dulce De Leche; it's made with caramelised banana, coco meringue, and whipped banana cream for a lighter way to end your dinner.
You can also pre-order a floating meal on the pool that includes an assortment of appetizers, mains, sweet treats, and drinks.
Speaking of, they have cocktail towers good for sharing among friends and refreshing cocktails like Rich Jungle, which is served in a literal pineapple instead of a glass, and Voodoo Vortex, a cocktail with rum in a fun tiki cup.
#KlookTip: Happy hour is every day from 10:00 to 17:00!
Finns Beach Club
Finns has multiple restaurants in the beach club with cuisines from all over the world, including Italian, Mexican, Indian, and more. They even have a sushi bar restaurant! Little ones can enjoy their faves like a ham and cheese sandwich, bolognese, or fish & chips from the kids' menu.
For the adults, get turned up with their extensive drinks list ranging from signature to classic cocktails, Red Bull-infused drinks, draught beer, spirits, wine, bubbles, and buckets and jugs for sharing.
Unlike Atlas, happy hour here is only two hours from 19:00 to 21:00. Ultimately, Finns Beach Club wins in terms of variety especially if you're with a group of friends or family that each have their own preferred taste.
Events
Atlas Beach Club
Atlas Beach Club is always cooking up exciting events with world-famous DJs who perform live at their nightclub. Speaking of, watch out for their upcoming events like the much-awaited New Year's Eve party with Martin Garrix!
