Ji Terrace by the Sea
Vibe A Batu Bolong rooftop bar with ocean views and a touch of Japanese elegance.
Why we love it Combining breathtaking sunsets with a stellar cocktail menu, Ji Terrace is a perfect date night bar. Their sake-based concoctions are standout options, best enjoyed with sushi or other Japanese-inspired bites. For cocktails, we love the Sayuri (plantation 3 Stars rum, passionfruit, coconut milk, lime & lychee, 130,000 IDR). The breezy, refined decor makes it a great spot for both casual evenings and special celebrations.
