In general, Indonesia\u2019s attitude towards homosexuality is fairly intolerant, owing to the religious influences in the culture. Fortunately, Bali has a far more relaxed outlook and the island is popular among LGBT travellers. From luxury villas<\/a> to spas and bars, The Island of the Gods is the perfect retreat for a fun vacation in the sun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bali\u2019s small but thriving gay scene is centred around Seminyak on Bali\u2019s popular southwestern coast. This beachside town has a variety of venues and services catering specifically to the LGBT community, from saunas to hotels. For nightlife, check Seminyak\u2019s modest but lively collection of gay clubs. <\/span><\/p>\n

From beaches to bars, here\u2019s how to see the best of Bali\u2019s gay scene!<\/span><\/p>\n

Gay bars and clubs in Bali<\/h2>\n

Bali\u2019s LGBT nightlife consists of just four bars on Jalan Camplung Tanduk road in Seminyak. The scene may be small but size isn\u2019t everything and this short strip of bars and clubs comes alive after dark. All are positioned next door to one another, so bar crawls are inevitable and you\u2019re likely to visit all of them during your stay! Each has an awesome atmosphere, great music and live entertainment to keep you partying until the early hours.<\/span><\/p>\n
