SANUR / SEMAWANG BEACH
Pier Eight Bali is a calm hotel-backed beachside restaurant for Sanur dining by the sea
Pier Eight Bali is the beachfront restaurant at InterContinental Bali Sanur Resort. It is not a loud party beach club; it is better for Semawang Beach views, cocktails, seafood barbecue and a relaxed hotel-quality dinner.
This April 2026 guide separates regular restaurant seating from priced food experiences using the official dining page, July 2025 menu PDF and Chope listing.
Atmosphere
The official page describes indoor and al-fresco dining, blue shallow waters of Semawang Beach and colorful Jukung boats on the white sand.
Evenings bring daily live acoustic music, while Friday-Sunday adds bonfires and marshmallows and Saturday adds a Fire Dance performance.
Why Visit Pier Eight
Quiet Sanur Mood
It is calmer than the large southwest coast clubs and easier to use for food-first plans.
Current Menu PDF

Crab Bao / Pier Eight Mezze

How to Read the Menu
- Prices are in thousand IDR, so 130 means IDR 130,000.
- The menu states that prices are subject to 21% government tax and service charge.
- The July 2025 menu lists Sanur Bay Seafood Barbecue at IDR 250,000 per person, minimum two.
Booking Tips
- Ask WhatsApp for a specific table or lounge position if view matters.
- For Fire Dance or bonfire visits, confirm event status and time on the day.
- Choose lunch or early afternoon for calm dining; choose after 6 PM for more atmosphere.
- Best for Sanur stays. It is less compelling as a single-purpose trip from Canggu or Seminyak.
