What Is SugarSand?
A salty ocean breeze brushes your skin while the shadows of Japanese latticework ripple across the pool—my evening began with a tiny mishap, “I sprinted back to the front desk after forgetting my swimsuit”. One sip of a sunset cocktail later, everything flipped—the sky melted into the sea, and I was happily tipsy on the view 🍸.
SugarSand sits right on Double Six Beach and opened in 2018 as the beach club of Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach.
The concept channels Japan’s “neo izakaya” vibe—think robata-grilled seafood and wagyu paired with creative cocktails using Bali-made spirits.
✔️ A photogenic two-story wave-shaped roof with striking lattice architecture
✔️ Breakfast from 7:00 AM; live DJ sets after dark
✔️ Eight total poolside seats: daybeds & sunken lounge spots
✔️ Robata menu by Chef Syamsul Rizal, flame-kissed fresh fish and premium beef
✔️ Bar seats have free entry—perfect for “just one drink”
