SugarSand: Seminyak’s Sea‑View Nikkei Playground
Beachfront setting at Double Six
Set at the back of Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach on Jl. Double Six, SugarSand looks straight across the pool to Seminyak’s shoreline. Guests talk about lounging on daybeds, drifting between the large pool and the sand, and watching the sun sink over Double Six Beach with a drink in hand.
Finding the entrance can take a moment, but reviewers say the sea views and open, airy dining room make the detour worthwhile.
From breakfast bowls to Nikkei dinners
SugarSand runs from early morning through late evening, generally 07h00 to 23h00, and doubles as a beach club and restaurant. Breakfast regulars highlight Pattaya bowls, fried rice, fried quinoa, waffles and crispy pork bacon, plus espresso coffee and even welcome health-juice shots.
As the day goes on, the menu leans Japanese and Nikkei: chawanmushi with real crabmeat, spicy tuna sushi rolls, tempura and fries, chicken yakitori, popcorn shrimp, rock shrimp, salmon teriyaki, wagyu gyoza and a robatayaki set that one couple found big enough to share. Several guests call it one of their best meals in Bali.
Cocktails, mocktails and sunset rituals
Creative drinks are a core part of the experience. Visitors rave about cocktails (one mentioned paying 150k with an extra shot as “reasonable”), and non‑alcoholic choices like Ringo, Sleeping Ninja, You‑zu and Sizuka. Many people come just for a sunset drink by the pool or to redeem hotel drink vouchers, and still feel unhurried even arriving 20 minutes before closing.
There are mentions of live DJ sets and a relaxed, poolside party atmosphere in the evenings, with some guests staying for birthday celebrations and cake.
Atmosphere, pricing and daybeds
The atmosphere is often described as elegant, instagrammable and chill rather than rowdy, with both indoor and outdoor seating plus daybeds and showers. One market report notes a minimum spend for prime poolside spots and flags higher prices with 21% tax and service added, while another reviewer comments on smaller, beautifully plated portions in line with the “fancy” setting.
Not every dish is a hit—one guest found an okonomiyaki egg “sad” and another felt chicken wings needed work—but most agree the overall quality and presentation make SugarSand stand out among nearby beach bars.
Service that remembers your coffee order
Across reviews, service is the main thread: staff are called “legends”, “over the top” and “incredible”. Names like Riska, Mei, Adhi, Dias, Nanda, Dea and others come up repeatedly for warm recommendations, fast help when guests were rushing for a flight, and even remembering regulars’ names and coffee orders.
For travellers who care as much about refined Japanese‑leaning plates and personal service as ocean views and a poolside sunset, SugarSand is likely to feel less like a generic beach club and more like a favourite Bali ritual.
