mozaic beach club

Beach lovers who hate the inconvenience of the actual beach, the horrors of brushing sand off your feet, lack of loos, no cold beer  are spoiled for choice in Bali with plenty of “beach clubs” clambering for their business. These fancy, umbrella- and deckchair-clad bars skirt the beach, boast a pool and extensive cocktail menu, and end up costing you far more than a quick dip in the ocean would. Mozaic Beach Club Lounge on Batu Belig beach is the latest addition to the more exclusive collection of clubs, and if you’ve got the money to spend, it’s worth a try.

We’re not saying you should skip the beach,  some of our favorite Bali beaches are well away from the big sunglasses set, down on the Bukit but if you’ve got a reason to celebrate, or you do feel like a few hours in a private cabana interspersed with some non-sandy swimming in clean water (yes, Bali’s beaches can get polluted)  then Mozaic offers a classy alternative.

We’ve visited a few times in recent months with holidaying friends, and while we think the staff could loosen up a little, having a bottle of water belonging to our four-year-old son not very politely confiscated on arrival was a bit over the top,  it’s a good venue for just hanging out, particularly if you have kids in tow but aren’t in the mood for chasing them all over the beach.
