Edit No.18 — Bali, Right Now
Bali's best sunset spots, breakfasts and reformer Pilates studios — three roundups, eighteen places.
This edit is a portrait of Bali right now, told through three roundups: where to watch the sunset, where to eat breakfast, and where to take reformer Pilates.
The sunset roundup moves from the Jimbaran cliff at Rock Bar to the quiet terrace above Labuan Sait at Dugong, taking in six addresses that together map every version of a Bali evening. The breakfast roundup covers six cafés from Canggu to Ubud — from Copenhagen's sourdough to Ivy Café's ricotta hotcakes — that between them explain how the island's morning culture actually works. The reformer Pilates roundup runs from Zycle in Canggu to The Collective Club in Ubud, taking in six studios that reflect how movement in Bali has matured beyond the bootcamp phase.
What connects them is not category. It is that each, in its own way, reflects how the island now sunsets, breakfasts and moves.

Questions about this edit
What is covered in Edit No.18?

The first covers six sunset spots — Rock Bar at AYANA Jimbaran, Rockfish in Uluwatu, Ulu Cliffhouse, Dugong above Labuan Sait, The Lawn in Canggu and Potato Head Beach Club in Seminyak.

What does this edit say about Bali right now?
Bali is an island that supports more versions of itself than almost any other destination in Southeast Asia. The same day in the same neighbourhood can produce a clifftop sunset, a sourdough breakfast and a reformer class taught at the level of a major European city. Edit No.18 takes that range as its subject.
Where is the best sunset in Bali?
Rock Bar at AYANA Jimbaran is the most architecturally specific — carved into the limestone cliff, accessed by inclinator. Rockfish in Uluwatu is the most dramatic clifftop setting. The Lawn in Canggu is the most relaxed. Dugong above Labuan Sait is the quietest. Potato Head Beach Club in Seminyak is the most established. The edit covers all six.
Where is the best breakfast in Bali?
Copenhagen in Canggu is the most discussed sourdough café on the island right now, known for its house-fermented bread and restrained interiors. Kynd Community in Seminyak is the strongest plant-forward choice with the most distinctive menu. Ivy Café in Ubud is the quietest and most considered. The edit covers all six addresses across Canggu, Seminyak and Ubud.
Which are the best reformer Pilates studios in Bali?
Zycle in Canggu is the most technically advanced, with Stott and Allegro 2 equipment and a programme that includes jumpboard, barre and circuit sessions. Ami Pilates in Uluwatu is the quietest and most precisely taught. The Collective Club in Ubud is the most recently opened and best designed. Pilates Plus in Seminyak, Native in Canggu and Reform Bingin each map a different version of what a reformer studio in Bali can be.
When is the best time to visit these places?
The reformer Pilates studios and breakfast cafés are year-round addresses and are often quieter outside peak morning and evening hours. The sunset spots are at their best during the dry season — May through October — when the sky is clear and the Indian Ocean horizon is at its most reliable. Booking ahead is recommended for Rock Bar, Dugong and the more popular Pilates studios. The cafés can simply be walked into.
