Mrs Sippy
Mrs Sippy is one of the hippest day clubs in Seminyak, Bali, with a massive saltwater pool that attracts all the beautiful people, families, hip crowds, and delicious cocktails under the warm tropical Bali sun. The best way to describe the vibe here is Bondi meets Bali, with tasty food and nibblies to have as you lounge by the pool. Make sure you check the diving boards and the heroic people jumping off. We love the healthy poke bowls, the range of pizzas and burgers, and our favourite is the tacos. There’s also a kiddies menu, so Mrs Sippy is a great family hang during the day if you still want a beach club vibe without actually being on the beach – it sounds odd, but after a while, you’ll feel like you’re at a beach club.
