Canggu / Batu Bolong / rooftop terrace
What Ji Terrace by the Sea is like, and who it suits
Ji Terrace by the Sea is a rooftop restaurant and lounge above Hotel Tugu Bali, looking over the Indian Ocean and Canggu Beach. It is not a large pool-and-daybed club; the reason to come is the ocean view, sushi, Asian-Japanese food and cocktails.
It suits a Canggu day when you want sunset light, food and conversation more than a loud beach-club pool scene. By day the ocean view is the main draw, around sunset the terrace is strongest, and at night the lanterns and candles give it a lounge mood.
Entrance and Overall Atmosphere
Inside Hotel Tugu Bali, the route upstairs opens into red tones, wood, Asian decorative pieces and a terrace facing the sea. It feels calmer than a standalone party club, while still keeping Batu Bolong close to the beach.
On a first visit, look at the ocean terrace, indoor dining room and bar counter before settling in. Choose daylight if the ocean view matters most, or the sunset window if mood is the priority.
Pool, Beach and Daytime Flow
Ji Terrace is not a place built around pool time. For a daytime visit, it works better to start with sushi or lighter plates by the sea and move into cocktails toward sunset.
The best rhythm is to watch the waves and surfers from above rather than plan a beach-play day. If the heat or sun is strong, indoor or breezier seats can make the visit easier.
Seat Types and Minimum Spend
No fixed seat-specific minimum spend is publicly shown, so confirm after entering date, time, party size and seat request when booking. A booking does not guarantee rooftop terrace seating, and time, party size and seat requests depend on availability and venue discretion.

A booking does not guarantee rooftop terrace seating. Time, party size and seat requests depend on availability and venue discretion.
Food and Drinks
The menu covers sushi, sashimi, rolls, tempura, gyoza, grilled plates, seafood, meat dishes and desserts, so the venue is stronger when food is part of the plan.
Drinks include classic and signature cocktails that fit the ocean-view setting. Cocktails work well around sunset, while sushi and warm plates make the evening more dinner-led.
Sushi, sashimi and rolls
Sushi, sashimi, rolls and rice bowls make it work for both a light terrace meal and dinner.
Asian-Japanese warm plates
Gyoza, tempura, grilled dishes, seafood and meat plates make the visit more than just drinks.
Cocktails for the ocean view
Signature and classic cocktails fit the pre-sunset and sunset window well.
Photo Spots
The clearest shot is the terrace table with the ocean behind it. In daylight, use the horizon; at sunset, use the sky; at night, let the table light carry the frame.
The bar counter also works well with its tiles, flowers and warm wood. For food photos, place sushi or cocktails on the table and keep the ocean or lanterns in the background.
Ocean view from the terrace
Frame the wide ocean view with the table to show the venue clearly.
Events and Best Time to Visit
For a regular visit, late afternoon into sunset is the easiest window because it moves from ocean view to lounge mood. If you want to add an experience, the on-request cocktail masterclass can sit before or around a meal.
Ji Terrace by the Sea
Ji Modern Asian Cocktail Masterclass
An on-request experience from 12:00 to 18:00 with two cocktail-making sessions and four canapes, easy to pair with lunch or sunset drinks.
Current Discounts and Promos
Rather than planning around a fixed discount coupon, check seat terms, terrace requests and the prepayment rule for groups over 10 through Chope or direct contact before booking.
What to Decide Before Going
- Decide whether the ocean view or a full meal matters more.
- For sunset, avoid arriving too late.
- Confirm seat position and minimum spend when booking.
- For groups, anniversaries or event-adjacent visits, ask by email or phone.
Booking Method and Booking Routes
For a dining table, Chope is the clearest reservation route. Bookings for more than 9 guests require Rp500,000 per booking prepayment, deducted from the final F&B bill. Reserved tables are held for up to 15 minutes, but rooftop terrace seating is not guaranteed. Time, party size and seat requests depend on availability and venue discretion.
The Cocktail Masterclass is separate from a normal dining-table booking, so use the official experience page for its details. If you want to check the atmosphere and location first, use the Ji Terrace page as the reference route.

Access and Google Map
The venue is inside Hotel Tugu Bali in Canggu / Batu Bolong, very close to the beach. If you are already staying nearby, it can be a walk or short ride, but the surrounding roads can slow down around sunset.
From Seminyak or Ubud, a last-minute sunset arrival is risky. Arriving earlier and using the terrace while there is still light is more reliable.
| Start Area | Travel Feel | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Canggu / Batu Bolong | Walk or short ride | Easy to add lunch, sunset or evening drinks if you are nearby. |
| Seminyak / Kerobokan | 30-70+ minutes by car | Traffic varies heavily, so leave early for sunset. |
| Ubud / Uluwatu | Around 90+ minutes by car | Better when Ji Terrace is the main plan, not a quick stop. |
