15 Best High Teas in Bali (2026): Afternoon Tea in Ubud, Seminyak & Nusa Dua

The Deli at Padma Resort Legian now serves the Bali Heritage Afternoon Tea, built on Balinese recipes and locally sourced ingredients from Tabanan to Serangan. The set has ten bites, five sweet and five savory: Bedugul Strawberry Delight, Tabanan Lemongrass Semifreddo, Pandan and Coconut Layer Cake and Piña Colada Mille-Feuille on the sweet side, with Denpasar Snapper Satay, Serangan Steamed Prawns and Jatiluwih Pork Rice among the savories.

Drinks include the resort's garden-infused homemade blends (Chrysanberry, Pale Ruby and Purple Velvet), plus Balinese mocktails and arak cocktails. Choose it for local flavors rather than a classic English tea. Reservations are required one day in advance by email or WhatsApp.

Hanging Gardens of Bali is a jungle resort north of Ubud, and its high tea is now served at The Spa Café, the resort's outlet on the Ayung River. The draw is the setting, thick jungle on the valley slopes, along with warm service and a slow pace that suits an afternoon after a spa treatment.

The resort describes it simply as a decadent high tea, offered alongside a light lunch menu, and it works best as part of a spa day or a stay at the resort. No set menu or price is published, so arrange the tea with the reservations team by WhatsApp or email before making the drive.

Orchid Tea Lounge is a glasshouse cafe in the RIMBA area of the AYANA Bali estate in Jimbaran, about five minutes' walk from the RIMBA tram stop. Filled with orchids and surrounded by rice fields, it is a cool, quiet room for a long afternoon away from the pools.

The afternoon tea blends Balinese and Western treats, from fruit tarts and finger sandwiches to classic Balinese sweets, with a premium choice of green, black, flavored and herbal teas. For a more rural setting, the estate also serves Afternoon Tea at AYANA Farm, a three-tiered platter of sweets and light snacks at its sustainable farm in the Garden area. Both suit couples and families staying on the estate.

Andaz Bali is a Hyatt resort in Sanur. Afternoon tea here runs through the Deli & Bakery, open daily for lunch and tea, so the treats come from the resort's own bakery.

The resort also stages themed afternoon tea sets from time to time, and later in the day its Andaz Twilight session brings sundowners to the beachfront from Thursday to Sunday. No fixed set, menu or price is published at present, so ask the resort about the current tea before going. Couples and friends can make a relaxed Sanur afternoon of it and stay on for a sunset drink.

Biku is a restaurant, tea lounge and book and homewares store, now at a new address in Seminyak, known for its 150-year-old teak joglo from East Java. High tea is served every day in three styles: a traditional afternoon tea with scones, jam and cream plus finger sandwiches, an Asian high tea and a breakfast version.

The tea list runs to more than 50 varieties from China, India and Indonesia, selected by tea master Tjok Gde Kerthyasa, and everything arrives on fine bone china, with bubbles on request. A children's high tea with cupcakes, gingerbread men and sandwiches makes it one of the better family choices in the Seminyak area. Book by WhatsApp.

Jati Bar is the lounge bar of Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, on the edge of Ubud, and it looks out over the Ayung River valley. Afternoon tea is served here every day, and later the bar moves on to cocktails as the light fades over the jungle.

Come for the setting, a quiet perch above the valley, with attentive service and a slower pace than central Ubud. Some of the resort's stay offers include afternoon tea for two, and tables can be reserved by phone. No menu or price is published, so ask when booking. It is a natural pick for couples, and for anyone who wants to follow tea with a sunset drink.

The Ritz-Carlton Lounge & Bar sits above Senses in the open-air lobby of The Ritz-Carlton, Bali, in Nusa Dua, with ocean views over the gardens. It serves drinks and light bites all day, but the draw is its well-known afternoon tea.

The set pairs a classic English afternoon tea with local Indonesian treats, served with a selection of TWG teas or premium coffee, and it can be upgraded with a glass of Champagne. The airy lobby, sometimes with live piano, suits couples and anyone wanting a polished, traditional tea in Nusa Dua. Reservations are taken by WhatsApp or by phone through the hotel.

R Bar is the bar of Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa, with sunset views over the pool and down toward Balangan. Its Uluwatu Afternoon Tea takes its shape from Uluwatu Temple: the tea presentation mirrors the temple's silhouette and carries finely crafted pastries and savory bites built on Balinese flavors.

Tables are booked online through the bar's reservation page, and same-day slots may not be available, so plan a day ahead. Couples and friends can follow this playful, local take on afternoon tea with cocktails as the sun goes down. This is the Renaissance in Uluwatu, not a Nusa Dua property.

Mulia Bali, the Nusa Dua complex that brings together The Mulia, Mulia Resort and Mulia Villas, serves afternoon tea in three of its outlets: Cannelé, Cascade Lounge and The Bar. Cannelé, the resort's pastry shop, is the prettiest choice, with a pastel interior and a terrace looking out over the resort.

Guests choose between a Classic and an Asian afternoon tea, both served on sterling tea stands with an assortment of sweet and savory homemade bites. Seats are limited and the hotel recommends reserving in advance through its restaurant team by phone, email or WhatsApp. It is a good fit for couples and friends who want a formal tea.

Byrd House is the beach club and Italian-Mediterranean restaurant of Segara Village Hotel in Sanur, set in a beachfront garden with a pool and a children's playground. Its High Tea is a relaxed set for two.

Savories include chicken avocado toast, a stracciatella and tomato tartlet, tiger prawn and ricotta zucchini flower tempura and a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich. Sweets follow: red velvet cake, lemon tart, chocolate mousse, raspberry macarons and cantucci, plus a homemade dessert of the day with strawberry jam and vanilla cream. A choice of coffee, tea or iced chocolate comes with it. Families and couples spending the day on the Sanur beachfront can reserve by WhatsApp.

Starfish Bloo is the beachfront restaurant of W Bali – Seminyak, and its afternoon tea is served by the ocean with an interactive twist: a hands-on tea-blending ritual in which guests mix botanical infusions into their own signature brew.

The savories lean Asian, with a spicy tuna tataki sando, salmon rolls, a roasted eggplant tart and umami chicken choux, while the sweets use Balinese produce, such as a Kintamani banana cream puff, a Bedugul strawberry and honey Swiss roll and a Singaraja vanilla macaron with rosella tea ganache. Coconut and chocolate scones and nitrogen ice cream round it off. Tea runs Monday to Saturday, with brunch on Sunday instead. It works best as a date for two; book online.

Selasar Deli at The Apurva Kempinski Bali in Nusa Dua serves its afternoon tea in the Pendopo Lobby and on the lobby balcony, with the ocean in view and live piano on many afternoons. Two formats run through the week.

From Sunday to Thursday, The Spice Route Afternoon Tea pairs classic Western canapés with Indonesian herbs and spices, each bite lifted by a single spice or herb from a different island, all served on a tiered stand inspired by the form of a candi temple. On Friday and Saturday the Artisanal Afternoon Tea is unlimited, with sweet and savory light bites and a choice of tea or coffee; children pay a reduced rate. Advance reservation is required.

Padma Resort Ubud sits in the green hills about 14 km north of central Ubud and offers two ways to take afternoon tea. The Floating Afternoon Tea is served in the resort's secluded Lower Pool, beneath the main infinity pool; the Lower Pool is closed to everyone else during the session. Both in-house guests and visitors can book it.

On dry land, Afternoon Tea with a View at The Puhu Restaurant brings five savory and seven sweet bites, afternoon tea classics with a Padma twist, served with tea or coffee and the jungle valley as a backdrop. Either set can come with two glasses of sparkling wine. Book the restaurant tea a day ahead; the floating tea suits couples marking an occasion.

CasCades is the open-air restaurant of Viceroy Bali in Ubud, set above the jungle of the Petanu river valley. Its afternoon tea, made in partnership with TWG Tea, comes in a regular and a vegetarian version.

The regular set mixes Indonesian and European sweets, such as bika ambon, lapis legit, a pistachio mini opera and raspberry macarons. Savories include a smoked salmon sandwich, spinach and feta quiche, a lamb cutlet and a pork croquette, plus warm plain and raisin scones with clotted cream, strawberry jam and orange marmalade. Teas range from Royal Darjeeling and French Earl Grey to Genmaicha and Milk Oolong, and a glass of Champagne can be added. Outside diners are welcome.

Pottery Café is the all-day cafe of Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach, a cool, air-conditioned room that showcases the work of a local Balinese ceramics producer. By day it serves coffee, tea, sandwiches and pastries; in the afternoon it turns to Sereni-Tea, the hotel's neighborhood afternoon tea.

The set for two brings a spread of Indonesian-inspired sweet and savory bites, with a choice of locally roasted coffee or tea, and makes a quiet break from the beach. Couples and friends who prefer a relaxed cafe setting to a formal hotel lounge will feel at home. Reserve by email or WhatsApp.
