View booking optionsEntrance and Overall Vibe
Alternative Beach is a pool club for guests aged 17 and over in inland Batu Bolong, Canggu. Daybeds and beanbags surround a white, curved pool, while submerged stools let you pause for a drink at the swim-up bar. Think palms, bright water and open-air buildings rather than ocean views.
Choose a waterside seat for a swimming-focused afternoon or Eat Me Cafe overlooking the pool for a longer meal. The venue shares a complex with Kos One Hostel and Canggu Village Accommodation and also welcomes non-staying guests. Regular venue access carries a minimum spend of IDR 100,000 per person, redeemable towards daybeds and pool towels or food and drinks.
Pool, Beach and How to Spend the Day
The pool makes it easy to alternate between a swim, a drink at the submerged bar counter and a break on the deck. Pale blue water, white edges and surrounding palms create an open-air escape in the middle of Canggu.
Regular venue hours are 10:00–19:00 and Pool Bar operates 11:00–19:00. Entry is strictly 17+ and outside food and drinks are not allowed. Daybeds and towels are not described as automatically complimentary; ask how you want to allocate your minimum spend at arrival.
Seat Types and Minimum Spend
Choose between reclining daybeds, casual poolside beanbags, submerged bar stools and dining tables at Eat Me Cafe. The pool venue’s IDR 100,000 minimum spend is per person, not a private-bed or guaranteed-reservation price. A separate minimum for cafe-only visits is not published.

Recommended Time to Visit
For a pool-focused visit, arrive after the 10:00 opening and stay through lunch. You can settle into a seat, swim and break for food without rushing. Capacity can be limited during busy periods, so an earlier arrival makes sense when seating choice matters.
Later visits suit drinks and music, with outdoor films on Monday and Thursday evenings. Regular venue operation ends at 19:00, but film events run afterwards. Eat Me Cafe opens 07:00–21:00, offering a meal before or after regular pool hours.
Food and Drinks
Eat Me Cafe ranges from fruit and granola bowls, eggs and pancakes to burgers, pasta and poke bowls. It works for a light breakfast and coffee as well as a more substantial meal after swimming.
Pool Bar serves cocktails and cold drinks by the water and at its swim-up counter. Check the ordering menu for current prices, tax and service charges, and distinguish time-limited promotions from regular menu prices.
Photo Spots
The curved white pool, palms, arch and swing give the venue its most recognisable views. The lawn side offers a wider perspective of the seating and water rather than a close-up portrait alone.
Use waterproof equipment for underwater shots and keep clear of swimmers, walkways and staff routes. Avoid including other guests’ faces without their permission.

What to Decide Before You Go
Entry is strictly 17+ and outside food and drinks are prohibited.
The venue-wide minimum spend is separate from a guaranteed seat reservation, so share your date, group size and preferred seating before committing.
Individual daybed capacities, advance-payment and cancellation terms, and a cafe-only minimum spend are not published.
Check the itemised terms and wait for the venue’s confirmation before finalising a booking.
How to Book and Where to Reserve
Use official WhatsApp for pool seating and the official table form for dining. The venue minimum is IDR 100,000 per person, but guaranteed seating and any bed or towel allocation need separate confirmation. No equivalent purchasable affiliate seat or pool product was found, so the official channels are the recommended routes.
