The pool and Rathbone’s Bar & Restaurant alongside at the Bali Seascape Beach Club are very popular.
Bali Seascape Beach Club – Affordable and convenient resort catering to families.
With its low-key but welcoming beach club vibe, this place offers a range of rooms, apartments, and villas in a tranquil setting a short walk from the main road with its numerous cafés and shops. The all-around views of the hills, coastline, and islands offshore from the pool and upstairs rooms are superb, while a breakwater creates a tiny beach with safe and sheltered swimming. Rooms are comfortable and functional. Units (apartments) offer separate living/dining areas and kitchenettes, and enough space for two or more children. All accommodations are huddled together, however, so rooms can be a bit noisy, and plenty of interesting activities are offered for families.

Bali Seascape Beach Club – Local Transport
- Walking & Cycling: The main road through Candidasa is only 1 km long and an easy walk. It is flat and reasonably wide (but very busy), so bicycles are a good option. Ask the hotel about rental.
- Public Transport: Long-distance minibuses pass by along the road between Amlapura and Denpasar (via the turnoff to Padangbai), but are not really needed in the local area.
- Shuttle Bus: The main island-wide operator, Perama, offers several services daily to Kuta, Ubud, and Lovina, all via Padangbai. The office is at the far western end of the main road, 1.3km away.
- Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: There are no metered taxis in this area, so charter a car with a driver from someone along the main road, or better, through the hotel. Renting a car is possible from local agencies (but not recommended anywhere in Bali), while motorbikes are easy to rent and a terrific way to explore the east coast.
