Velvet & Hypnotized (VH Bali) is a great spot to head up to whenever you need a place to meet up with friends for Kuta Beach’s sunsets. The rooftop venue comprises the sunset dining and lounging spot, Velvet, on the third level of the Kuta Beachwalk, offering refreshing cocktails and beverages together with fusion pan-Asian cuisine. Lounge away or dine on its cosy decks, and after meals or when your friends have gathered and the sun has set, you can head into Hypnotized Club, to party into the wee hours.

The venue is conveniently right in the middle of the kilometre-long Jalan Pantai Kuta beach road, often referred to as Kuta‚s ‚halfway‚. From its rounded deck that is bordered with large grey cushioned all-weather faux wicker loungers, Velvet & Hypnotized (VH Bali) offers wide-angle panoramas of Kuta’s western horizon, the outline of the island’s isthmus and down to the distant Bukit in the south.

Under the shade of white sails, there‚s a set of dining tables adjacent to a round bar where Velvet mixologists prepare a selection of refreshing drinks, from the traditional to the innovative molecular types.‚ The drinks list is impressive, but there are great molecular inventions that serve as perfect sundowners, and they like to throw in free-flow promos, from beers to ice cream at particular timeframes.
