View booking optionsThe Monkey Bar at Bella Kita is a hillside restaurant and pool in Besan, East Bali. An infinity pool and a four-metre Buddha overlook a green valley, offering a different setting from Bali’s coastal clubs.
Covered dining, balcony sofas and poolside loungers provide different ways to spend your visit. Its overall price band is affordable. Come for a relaxed meal with a view or an unhurried break during an East Bali outing.
Entrance and Overall Vibe
The open-sided timber-roofed building looks across the pool towards the valley. Monkey figures decorate the bar, and tropical greenery surrounds the dining areas. Clear weather brings distant sea views.
The venue is next to Bella Kita’s villas, but its pool is separate from the accommodation pool. When planning a day visit, specify The Monkey Bar and discuss your dining or swimming plans.
Pool, Beach and Daytime Flow
The infinity pool facing the large Buddha is the centrepiece. Its edge opens towards the valley, with loungers and curtained relaxation areas nearby.
Distinguish dining-only visits from swimming access when making arrangements. Ask separately about admission, any food-and-drink allowance, towels and reserved seating rather than assuming they form a single package.

Recommended Time to Visit
Choose a clear daytime visit for a distinct view of the pool and green valley. During strong sunshine, combine time outside with a break in the covered dining area.
In the late afternoon, colour spreads across the sky above the valley. Arrive before dusk to enjoy a meal and the changing view. Official opening hours are daily 07:00–20:00; confirm the pool’s closing time and arrange your return car separately.
Food and Drinks
All-day dining covers breakfast, meals and snacks. The venue presents Balinese and Indonesian dishes alongside fish, burgers, pizza and salads, with seasonal local produce including vegetables from its own organic farm.
Drinks include coffee, juices and cocktails. Menu food-and-drink prices are subject to an additional 10% tax and 5% service charge. Check dishes and allergy requirements when ordering.
Photo Spots
Start with the large Buddha seen across the pool. Including the water and green valley adds depth and captures the venue’s setting. Monkey figures at the bar and views from the terrace offer other subjects.
Late-afternoon backlighting can favour either a colourful sky or a brighter portrait, depending on your angle. Do not climb onto the pool edge, and avoid interrupting swimmers or diners.
