BARA Lombok

BARA is an all-day pool club, restaurant and bakery on Jl. Raya Kuta. Loungers and umbrellas surround the pool, and the wood-fired oven is lit from morning until late, turning out sourdough pizzas from noon and plates from the fire for sharing. It holds a 4.7 rating from more than 1,600 Google reviews.

Mornings are about the bakery, with croissants out from 8am and breakfast such as steak and eggs served until 3pm. Later the focus moves to the bar: happy hour runs daily from 5pm to 7pm with IDR 60,000 cocktails, and there are live music and events in the evenings.

It is open every day from 7:30am until late. Tables can be booked online or by WhatsApp, which is a good idea for poolside spots in high season. There is also a delivery service around Kuta.
