Cretya Sunset, your hottest day-to-night spot in Ubud

  Location

Nestled in the tranquil, picture-perfect Payangan region, Cretya Sunset delivers sweeping vistas of emerald ricefield and a serene ambiance just minutes from Ubud’s vibrant heart. From sunrise serenades over coffee to moonlit lounge sessions, this day-to-night venue keeps its doors wide open for every kind of escape.

Inside the open‑air pavilion, plush daybeds draped in breezy linens and intimate lounge alcoves beneath swaying palms invite guests to unwind against postcard‑worthy paddy panoramas. A secluded Jacuzzi enclave sets the scene for golden‑hour relaxation.

  Atmosphere & Experience

Cretya Sunset is Bali’s best-kept secret—a jacuzzi day club paradise floating above endless emerald rice terraces. We completely lost ourselves soaking in one of their five heated jacuzzis as the surrounding rice fields transformed into a canvas of golden-pink hues at sunset. Every detail whispers 'Bali': weathered teak beams, stone carvings echoing ancient temples, and living vines weaving through the pavilion like nature’s own masterpiece.

What we loved most? The vibe—effortlessly chic yet genuinely welcoming. We spent an entire afternoon alternating between the warm, bubbling waters and plush daybeds, tropical cocktails in hand, while the DJ's smooth house beats created an irresistible rhythm

Insider tip: Aim to arrive by 4.30 - 5PM to secure the best jacuzzi spots and witness the full magic of golden hour. Watching the sunset paint the sky while immersed in warm bubbles is an experience you'll never forget!

  Eat and Drink

The menu marries global flair with tropical heart, featuring dishes made for sharing. Indulge in the Crustacean Platter piled high with flame-grilled prawns, lobster claws and tangy sambal aioli. Hand-stretched pizzas such as the Sunset Calzone drizzled in truffle oil and the cheesy Quattro Formaggi deliver crispy, gooey satisfaction. Sushi highlights include the Cretya Mix Roll and silky Avocado Roll, while poolside grazing shines with gourmet burgers, crisp falafel bites, loaded quesadillas and crunchy nachos.

Signature cocktails shine alongside elegant sangrias and a curated selection of premium wines. Sip a lemongrass-bright Spritz or explore inventive botanical smashes as you watch the sky turn to gold. For an extra dash of delight and a truly Instagram-ready moment, try the viral floating breakfast. It's a beautifully arranged spread of fresh fruit, artisanal pastries and savoury treats served on a private tray in the pool.

  Final Thoughts

Cretya Sunset checks all the right boxes—delicious food, stunning views, warm service, and that unbeatable jacuzzi setup overlooking the rice fields. It feels like the kind of place you plan to visit for a few hours and end up staying until after sundown. As the sister spot to Cretya Ubud, it brings its own kind of magic, and we’re already dreaming about the next visit. If golden hour is your thing, you’ll want this on your Bali list.

Dress code: swimsuit and a sunset ready sense of awe.
