Before we get to it, just a quick disclaimer as to our situation here.
For those who may not know, we suffered a pretty bad scooter accident just 2 days into our Bali adventure in Ubud.
Our time in Canggu came a week later, and we were still in a very difficult recovery phase.
Despite difficulty walking and our obvious injuries, we just had to get out of our apartment and try the famous beach clubs of Canggu.
We weren't able to do much, no swimming or chilling on the beach, but we tried our best to make the most of it!

Key Takeaways
● Seven minutes apart: Finns and Vue sit close together on Berawa Beach, which allowed us to compare both clubs during the same Canggu visit while still recovering from our scooter injuries.
● Finns: The bamboo entrance, scale, pools, DJs, and first-class service create the bigger and livelier experience, but daybeds generally carry the higher minimum spend.
● Vue: Its smaller resort setting and calmer atmosphere suit couples and relaxed sunset drinks, with lower typical daybed spending than Finns.

First Up, Finns Beach Club—World's Best Beach Club
Finns Beach Club, also known as Finns Bali, is a highly popular beach club located in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia.
It is situated on the stretch of Berawa Beach, offering stunning ocean views and a vibrant atmosphere.
Finns Beach Club is part of the Finns Recreation Club, which is a comprehensive sports and leisure complex in Bali.
As far as beach clubs go, Finns certainly is impressive.
As we walked through the bamboo-lined arched tunnel at the entrance, we just knew this place had a touch of class about it.
And we weren't wrong. The grand entrance area alone is spectacular, and the service is first-class.
Aside from the VIP area, which requires paid tickets, we were free to roam the site, although we opted to go beachside and take a seat (because of our injuries).
Finns offers a wide range of amenities and activities.
The club features a large infinity pool overlooking the beach, with a plethora of daybeds, sun loungers, and private cabanas available for rent, providing comfortable spaces to unwind.

The venue hosts regular events, parties, and live music performances, featuring both local and international artists.
The live DJ has a perfect spot in the centre of the site and was belting out quality hits even though it was only 11 am when we were there. Fantastic!
We can only imagine what it would be like at night here!

We chose the Vue Beach Club, as we were looking for somewhere that would be more serene and quiet, as opposed to the music and throngs of people at Finns.

The Art Gallery at the LV8 Resort
A cool surprise when leaving the Vue Beach Club to get back to the main road area for our taxi was walking through LV8.
This is a hotel with a difference; it hosts a free-to-view art gallery, which you walk through from the Beach Club to get to the front lobby.
We love art, and we thought the work on display was fantastic. It is so vibrant and colorful and super creative.
Many of these thought-provoking pieces reflect the culture of Bali and Indonesia itself, and it was a true pleasure to check them out.
So, what do you think? Cool, right?! We have to say that for all the glitz and glamour of Finns, this art gallery certainly gives Vue Beach Club a plus one.

Our Final Thought
Even though we were unable to have the full experience of either club because of our accident, we are really grateful we were still able to get out and see them.
Staying at our Airbnb would have been a much easier option!
But we just had to get out there, and we are glad we did.
Overall, both beach clubs are excellent in their own right. They do offer different experiences, which makes each one unique.
If you are looking for a bouncing, bougie party vibe, Finns is the place to be.
If you are looking for a more affordable, peaceful place to be, the Vue takes some beating.
For us, we marginally preferred the Finns Beach Club. It is epic, with so much to see and do. It feels like more than just a beach club, and we love that.
So much thought has gone into making it what it is, and even though it is more expensive, it is a must-visit in our opinion.
That being said, please do check out Vue too. It is only a 7-minute walk away from Finns, and you get to enjoy the beautiful Berawa Beach along the way!
