About Blue Marlin Cafe

Tuck your toes into the sand at Blue Marlin Cafe for sunset dinners along Jimbaran Bay. Tables sit right on the beach, catching the ocean breeze as day turns into evening. Insiders head here for fresh catches charred over coconut-husk embers—from red snapper to crab and prawns—dished up with fiery sambal. Evenings feature live traditional Balinese dance performances, while the kitchen can also grill market-fresh seafood picked up straight from nearby Kedonganan.

  • Beachfront Sand Dining: Tables sit directly on Kedonganan beach overlooking the breaking surf and evening sunset.
  • Live Cultural Performances: Evenings feature live Balinese performances like pendet dance while you dine by the water.
  • Market Catch Grilling Service: Bring catches purchased at the nearby fish market for the kitchen to grill over coals with local spices.
