Indonesia is a wonderful country to go to for a vacation. While most think of the serenity, the growing nightlife is a definite highlight. Here are the top five nightclubs in Seminyak.
OPIVM Bali is located in Seminyak and is a two-storey nightclub. Stylishly spelt OPIVM, the name is pronounced as Opium. The club offers exclusive VIP bottles as well as shisha services to its customers including a butler service that is available in different areas of the club. OPIVM features house and techno music as its main offering with international DJs and other artists. The club boasts its self-proclaimed mission statement of 'seduction'. This translates into the club's décor that houses aerial performers and poles, adding a burlesque element to the whole experience on offer. OPIVM offers many drink promotions and personalized services to enjoy. If you're looking to enjoy the nightlife of the district you will obviously need accommodation in Seminyak. 'Beach resort' will be a term you'll hear often, and there are many options to choose from nearby such as Alila Seminyak Bali.
Engaging all horror buff's, the aptly named Frankenstein's Laboratory offers a great experience for anyone looking for something a little freaky. The club offers a themed dinner and a 'freak show' that has become a popular attraction. Adding to the atmosphere, the cocktails at the venue are served up in IV bags. Zombie face painting is available for its attendees between 6 pm and 8 pm. There's no entrance fee but you may have to make reservations in advance as the place can be booked for several days ahead. The club hosts five cabaret shows daily, one at 4:30 for a more family-friendly affair and one at 6:30 that is strictly for adults. You'll get to meet the performers of the acts as there is a meet and greet session before each act.
The Double-Six Rooftop is one of the signature venues within the city. The rooftop features a massive 1,700sqm space which attracts the affluent crowd. You may awe in marvel at the 180-degree view of the coastline or sunset of Seminyak, all the while enjoying a delicious cocktail prepared for you. Definitely, check out the bar's edge as its one of the most talked about areas of the whole experience for its views. This area has large round pods with a comfortable seating capacity of up to nine adults. In the centre, you will find the 'circle of fire', a pit grill that cooks up some delicious juicy satays.
One of the most visually dazzling places on this list, The Mirror Bali Lounge and Club can be found on Seminyak's main Petitenget route. This hip lounge and party venue has its interior design inspiration drawn from gothic cathedrals, but it doesn't stop there. The stained glass windows, towing ceilings and shimmering mosaic wall décor are matched with an impeccably futuristic laser lighting system that makes it a truly immersive and exciting experience. The club features a slew of international and resident DJs that pump out some amazing industrial, house, deep bass and hip-hop music. The most beautiful part of the experience is its giant glass roof, which truly elevates the experience under the night sky.
Koh Bali draws heavy inspiration from the underground clubbing scene in Berlin. The club is the product of collaboration between two Sydney friends; Dabe Gorrel, the owner of the famous Abercrombie Hotel and DJ Matt Weir from the insanely popular S.A.S.H dance club. The undergrown bunker inspired warehouse is soundproof and is often heralded for its auditory experience. Techno house, deep house and regular house music fill these chambers with amazing laser works and heart pounding beats.
