If there were any doubts about Bali being the beach club capital of the world, they would have been dispelled following the highly anticipated launch of Luna Beach Club earlier this year. Nestled above Pantai Nyanyi, a beachside region situated 30 minutes from Canggu, the beach club has been making headlines for many reasons, notably its stunning architecture, which has received numerous accolades. The most recent being the recipient of the Silver award in the Sustainable and Green Architecture category by International Architecture & Design Awards 2024 for its sustainable design.
Inspiral Architects, an award-winning firm based in Indonesia, took on the brief to create a highly iconic beach club and events destination that would inspire and ignite a sense of adventure among guests. The team, comprising a collective of architects, designers and engineers, delivered on all fronts, creating an extraordinary venue boasting a series of naturally inspired buildings offering eight experiences, five dining concepts and two swimming pools.

Encompassing several distinct areas including the restaurant, the beachfront area and event spaces among others, each has been designed with sustainability and visitor experience in mind. The main building, Elysium, constructed from bamboo, recycled wood and composite panels, stands as a prime example of innovative and sustainable design. Designed to maximise natural light, the building features geometric lines that filter light into the interior, fostering a sense of unity and connection with the surroundings. This stunning glass and bamboo-cocooned lounge also offers unblocked views of the ocean, making it the perfect spot to host weddings and private events.
The Ultimate Day-to-Night Destination
Restaurant 369 – The perfect blend of design, nature and unrivalled culinary delights.

Witness another architectural marvel at Restaurant 369, a restaurant by day and supper club by night. This spacious, bright and airy space, featuring a stunning bamboo centrepiece, made with thick black and yellow bamboo twisted and shaped to create an umbrella rooftop over diners, has been designed as a vibrant escapade where guests can indulge in the perfect blend of design, nature and unrivalled culinary delights. Adjacent to the restaurant is a lagoon-style pool where guests can swim against a stunning ocean backdrop or they can unwind at one of the rattan pod-like daybeds, offering luxury and privacy with retractable covers and phone lockers.

For a change of scenery, take the 9-metre-long water slide down to Utopia Cave Club’s infinity pool that overlooks the beach. Open to kids in the day, the cave transitions into an adults-only party playground once the sun sets, with fibre-optic light shows, captivating live dancers and music, inviting guests to linger late into the night. Alternatively, escape to Gardenia, set above the main beach club, offering a canopy of bamboo Treepods that provide a peaceful retreat in the day and the perfect spot to enjoy epic views of Luna’s light shows at night.

Guests seeking exclusivity can head over to Table 369, a private dining space with only 12 seats available for a truly bespoke culinary adventure. Another popular spot is Jelly Beans, a family-friendly gelato bar by day and cocktail den by night.
With its blend of luxury, sustainability, community engagement, Luna Beach Club is paving the way for a new era of hospitality in Bali.

Luna Beach Club is part of Nuanu City, an ambitious development project by founder Sergey Solonin, dedicated to creative arts, wellness and entertainment. Spanning 44 hectares, this creative hub, once fully complete, will offer a myriad of offerings from beach clubs to AI-powered art installations and butterfly domes, all integrated with the lush, natural surroundings.
The latest addition to the development is the Tri Hita Karana (also known as THK) Tower, a hybrid AI art and architecture installation by London-based architect Arthur Mamou-Mani, which launched in September.

Soaring 30 metres above ground, the tower, crafted from rattan and reclaimed timber sourced from an abandoned colonial bridge, can be explored by climbing its 108 steps. Visitors can embark on an adventure inside, where they can admire sweeping 360-degree vistas of the landscape during the day, and a mesmerising projection mapping show at night.
With over 1,000 light fixtures installed throughout the tower and 18 projectors housed in 12 surrounding mini towers, alongside an in-built custom sound system and climate control box, all these come to life in an 11-minute light and sound show, offering an immersive experience unlike any other, viewable from different points across Nuanu including Luna Beach Club. For the ultimate experiential evening, guests should reserve a spot at Luna Restaurant, where they can enjoy the show over champagne and exceptional food.
