De Lucie Pool Bar

De Lucie is a pool bar on the hill above the town centre, on Jl. Elang Barat. A wooden deck with loungers, sofas and umbrellas wraps around the pool, and the view runs across the rooftops to the harbour and islands, so it works both as a place to cool off in the afternoon and for a drink at sunset.

The bar serves cocktails, beer and light food. Reviews mention a minimum spend per person to use the pool and loungers, so check the current amount when you arrive. It rates 4.4 on Google.

Open 10:00 to 22:00, closed on Mondays. A quieter alternative to the beach clubs if you want a swim without leaving town.

The deck faces west, so the light is best in the last hour before sunset, when the loungers fill up. Bring swimwear and a towel if you plan to use the pool. It is a short taxi or ojek ride up the hill from the harbour, and drivers know the name. Food is simple, so plan dinner elsewhere afterwards.
