Perched over Jemeluk Bay, this multi-tiered hideaway frames Mount Agung sunsets with grilled seafood and late-night hospitality. Grab a floor cushion upstairs for the afternoon light. Travelers return for the Balinese-style grilled fish—charred, spiced, and paired with house sambal. After dusk, acoustic jams regularly evolve into full-band sets where the local hosts and staff pull diners in to dance over glasses of arak.
- Panoramic Volcano Views: Three open-air tiers offer front-row sunset views across Jemeluk Bay directly toward Mount Agung.
- Balinese-Style Grilled Seafood: Whole grilled fish and Balinese seafood specialties served alongside house sambal and fresh sides.
- Communal Live Music: Evenings feature live acoustic sessions and weekend bands where owners, crew, and guests play and dance together.

Thomasso Kaspersky Immersive Tropical Sunset Setting
The thoughtfully arranged tropical design and sweeping views encourage patrons to linger comfortably past sunset.
The cozy tropical design, beautiful ambiance, and stunning views make it a place you’ll want to stay for hours.
Rikky Mahendra Communal Live Music Evenings
Evenings feature interactive live musical performances where guests, team members, and the owners join together.
This is the first time I saw customers, staff and boss performing together! Amazing vibe!
Jingli Zhang Locally Owned Family Hospitality
Patrons value the authentic, family-run atmosphere that offers a personal alternative to commercialized viewpoints.
We love the staff and local owners. Other places nearby with great views like Sunset Point aren’t owned by locals so we prefer to support Joli and his family.
Sophie R Authentic Balinese Grilled Seafood
Fresh Balinese grilled seafood prepared with balanced local spices delivers standout culinary quality.
Incredible, I don’t even have words to describe how delicious the Grilled Fish Balinese style was. Definitely the best fish I’ve had in Bali, maybe the best fish I’ve ever had.
Sammy James Traditional Cushion Floor Seating
A dedicated shoes-off cushion area provides a relaxed, low-profile setting for casual dining and coffee.
Cozy to sit on the ground, no shoes allowed with little pillows. Felt like a big cubby house.

Es el mejor lugar de Amed para ver el atardecer y luego disfrutar de una deliosa comida (la mejor fish lemon soup y el mejor fish satay!)
