Bali's Best Beach Club: Finns Beach Club vs. Vue Beach Club review, which one is for you?!
Updated: Apr 5
We review two of the hottest beach clubs in Canggu and invite you to decide which one is the the very best! First we go to Finns Beach Club, which is said to be the BEST beach club in the world, and then we try Vue Beach Club, just a 7 minute walk away. Here are our highlights, pros and cons, plus our YouTube video. Let us know where you are headed in our poll!
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 from 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!

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. There are plenty of staff on hand to get you anything you need, with plenty of refreshments to choose from.
Finns Beach Club boasts several restaurants and bars, serving a variety of cuisines and refreshing beverages. From international dishes to local Indonesian favorites, you can indulge in a diverse culinary experience while enjoying the club's lively ambiance. The prices are certainly on the higher end so be prepared for that.
Aside from sunbathing, swimming, drinking and eating (there's more?), Finns Beach Club is also known for its entertainment offerings. 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 11am when we were there. Fantastic! We can only imagine what it would be like at night here!
For those seeking some adventure, Finns Beach Club offers access to water sports activities, such as surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and even beach volleyball matches. Additionally, the club provides equipment rental services and surfing lessons for those looking to learn or improve their skills.
Overall, Finns Beach Club in Bali provides a dynamic and exciting beach club experience. With its beachfront location, beautiful views, dining options, entertainment, and water sports activities, it has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike for good reason. There is plenty of competition across the beachfront, but Finns has risen to become one of the most highly sought after. Even though we could not enjoy much of the offerings here, we know that in different circumstances we definitely would have!

Now for Vue Beach Club, part of LV8 Resort
LV8 Resort Hotel is a luxurious beachfront resort located in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia. It offers guests a serene and upscale setting with direct access to Berawa Beach, known for its stunning sunsets and renowned surf breaks. LV8 Resort Hotel is situated in a prime location, just a short distance from popular attractions and vibrant areas like Seminyak and Echo Beach.
The resort features a range of accommodation options, including rooms, suites, and private villas, designed with modern and stylish interiors. Each room is well-appointed and equipped with amenities such as air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and private balconies or terraces that provide breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. We did not stay here, but we were able to take a look around after spending time at their Beach Club, which is free to enter and use for non-hotel guests.
The Vue Beach Club boasts a beautiful outdoor infinity pool overlooking the ocean, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and comfortable sun loungers. There is an on-site restaurant and bar, with a good menu of local Indonesian specialties and international cuisine at affordable prices.
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. Vue certainly does not disappoint in that regard, albeit it is far smaller and further down the beach which does help. The view is fantastic and there is a calm vibe that we really appreciated given our injuries.
Art Gallery at the LV8 Resort
A really 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; hosting a free to view art gallery which you walk through from the Beach Club to get to the front lobby.
We absolutely love art and we thought the work on display was absolutely 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. Let us know of your thoughts in our poll below, we are really interested to know!

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 definitely 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 Finns. It really 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!
