About The Sand Ceningan

Set right above turquoise bay waters, this tranquil spot pairs sea breezes and poolside lounging with fresh coastal cooking. Regulars head straight for the wood-fired pizza and garlic prawns, while others linger on the seaside swing with a cooler mint cucumber drink as evening sets in. The atmosphere stays blissfully unhurried—a family-run setup with thoughtful touches like complimentary rides to your accommodation after dinner. Tables fill up before dusk for sunset views over the boats, followed by grilled mahi-mahi or charred squid straight off the grill.

  • Poolside Lounging & Beach Access: Diners can swim, relax on loungers overlooking turquoise bay waters, or walk straight onto the sand.
  • Island Pickup & Drop-Off: The team offers guests complimentary pickup and drop-off rides across the island.
  • Seafood & Coastal Fare: The kitchen turns out fresh garlic prawns, grilled squid, thin-crust pizza, and refreshing cocktails.
