What is La Favela?

Located on the famous Jalan Kayu Aya (often called "Eat Street"), La Favela Bali is perhaps the most iconic and eclectic venue in Seminyak.

It serves a triple purpose as a high-end restaurant, a cozy bar, and a multi-level nightclub.What truly sets it apart is its "jungle-vintage" wonderland aesthetic.

The design is a masterpiece, drawing heavy inspiration from the underground bars of 1990s London and New York, combined with the raw energy of Rio de Janeiro’s favelas and the lushness of the Indonesian rainforest.

Inside, you’ll find a labyrinth of semi-indoor gardens, artificial waterfalls, hidden rooms, and walls covered in vibrant graffiti.

The interior is packed with antiques, retro collectibles, and even vintage motorcycles, creating an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and wildly adventurous.

During the early evening (7:00 PM – 11:00 PM), it’s an intimate dining spot.

But as the clock strikes 11:00 PM, the furniture is cleared, the lights dim, and the entire venue transforms into a massive, high-energy dance floor.

Entrance Fee to La Favela Bali

One of the most common questions is: Is there a cover charge?

La Favela Bali generally offers free entry for women.

For men, a cover charge usually applies if you arrive after 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM. This fee is typically between IDR 200,000 to IDR 250,000, which usually includes one complimentary drink (though the selection might be limited).

If you’re coming with a group and want a guaranteed spot, you can book a table or sofa.

Minimum spends for these range from IDR 4 million up to IDR 20 million, depending on the size of the group and the location of the table.

To avoid the cover charge entirely, try to arrive before 10:00 PM while the venue is still in its restaurant phase.
