The 5 Best Afternoon Teas in Bali (2026)

Bali is not a tea island by tradition, but a handful of places do afternoon tea properly, and a few do it with real imagination. We have put together the five we would send a friend to in 2026, from Canggu to Uluwatu, with what you get, when it is served and roughly what it costs. Prices below are in Indonesian rupiah, as listed by the venues or by local guides in September 2026, and they change often. Check before you go.

A note on words: in Bali, “afternoon tea” and “high tea” are used for the same thing, a tiered spread of savoury and sweet bites with a pot of tea, served between lunch and dinner.

1. Maison Almaz, Berawa, Canggu

The only afternoon tea on this list that does not come on a stand. At Maison Almaz, the set arrives as a tree: small trays hang from the branches, each holding one bite, and a veil of mist rolls over the table as it is set down. Savoury first (mini sandwiches, smoked salmon, avocado toast, golden tartlets), then sweet (raspberry tarts, lemon cream cups with blueberry, layered cakes, chocolate tartlets). The selection moves with the season, the balance does not.

It is served in the Mediterranean dining room or on the terrace, in the quiet hours of the afternoon, with a pot of tea, a coffee or a glass from the bar. Because every tree is prepared to order, you book at least one day ahead; there is no same-day afternoon tea.

• Best for: couples, small groups and birthdays who want something to photograph as much as to eat, without driving to a resort.
• When: every day, tables from 12:00 to 18:00.
• Price: IDR 1,600,000++ for two, before service charge and tax.
• Booking: online or on WhatsApp, one day ahead minimum.
• Where: Jl. Pantai Berawa No. 150, Berawa, Canggu, with on-site parking.

2. Biku, Seminyak

The purist’s choice, and the one locals have been recommending for over a decade. Biku sits inside a 150-year-old teak joglo brought over from East Java, with antiques and books along the walls. The tea list runs to more than 50 varieties from China, India and Indonesia, chosen by the house tea master, and the set comes in three versions: a traditional British spread with scones and finger sandwiches, an Asian rendition, or a breakfast take for earlier in the day. There is a children’s version with cupcakes and gingerbread men, and you can add sparkling wine.

• Best for: families and anyone who wants the classic scones-and-china version.
• When: daily, 11am to 6pm, the longest window on the island.
• Price: from about IDR 209,880 nett per person, per Honeycombers’ September 2026 update.
• Where: Jl. Taman Ganesha No. 888, Seminyak.

3. Jati Bar, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, Ubud

Getting there is part of the afternoon: a teak footbridge over the treetops, a lotus pond, then a round, teak-lined bar looking out over the Ayung River valley. The Sayan Afternoon Tea skips scones altogether. Expect things like compressed watermelon with balsamic pearls, tuna tataki on a black rice tortilla, kofta with tzatziki, and on the sweet side a profiterole that nods to es alpukat, the Indonesian avocado drink. Premium loose-leaf tea or coffee, hot or iced, is included; an upgraded package adds two glasses of sparkling wine.

• Best for: a slow, luxurious afternoon in the jungle, solo or as a couple.
• When: daily, 12pm to 5pm.
• Price: from about IDR 500,000++ per person; IDR 1,300,000++ with sparkling wine (Honeycombers, September 2026).
• Where: Jl. Raya Sayan, Ubud.

4. The Mulia, Nusa Dua

If you want the full five-star afternoon tea tower with an ocean view, The Mulia is the reference in Nusa Dua. You can take it on the rooftop at the Cascade Lounge, at The Bar for something more intimate, or inside at Cannelé. The set is the classic format: tea or coffee with an assortment of sweets and savouries, with an Indonesian-inspired version on offer for a local twist.

• Best for: an elegant tower, a sea view and a choice of settings.
• When: daily, 3pm to 6pm.
• Price: from about IDR 396,880 nett per person (Honeycombers, September 2026).
• Where: Jl. Raya Nusa Dua Selatan, Nusa Dua.

5. R Bar, Renaissance Bali Uluwatu

The closest in spirit to our own tree: at R Bar, the bites are arranged on a hanging tower shaped after Uluwatu Temple, which you graze on from the bar’s open-air balcony while the sun goes down over the cliffs. The pairing is a premium local tea, or the bar’s sunset cocktails if the afternoon runs long.

• Best for: a sunset, a photo and an afternoon that turns into drinks.
• When: daily, from 2pm.
• Price: from about IDR 290,000++ per person (Honeycombers, September 2026).
• Where: Jl. Pantai Balangan 1 No. 1, Ungasan.

How to choose

• Staying in Canggu or Seminyak? Maison Almaz in Berawa is the one you can reach in minutes and book for tomorrow; Biku is twenty minutes south for the traditional version.
• Making a day of it? Ubud (Jati Bar) and Uluwatu (R Bar) are an hour or more from Canggu, so pair them with the rice terraces or the cliffs.
• Watch the ”++”. Resort prices are usually before service charge and tax; add about 18 to 21 percent to the number on the page. Our own guide to service charge and tax explains how it works.
• Book ahead. Several of these sets are prepared to order and need a day’s notice, ours included.

Ready for the tree? Afternoon tea at Maison Almaz is served every day from 12:00 to 18:00, booked a day ahead.
