MANGUPURA, balitourismnow.com – SOLUNA Bar Bali officially opened its doors in Seminyak on 22 August, introducing a new evening destination where cocktails, music, design, sunset views and contemporary hospitality come together from golden hour into the night.
Inspired by the transition from Sol, the sun, to Luna, the moon, SOLUNA explores the natural shift between day and night, light and shadow, calm and energy.
Designed as a contemporary interpretation of the speakeasy, the venue offers an intimate sense of escape, where warm lighting, music, crafted cocktails and personal hospitality create an atmosphere that evolves naturally throughout the evening.
The experience begins on SOLUNA’s terrace, where Seminyak’s sunset provides a striking backdrop.
As daylight fades, the mood gradually shifts toward the intimate energy of the bar. Guests may begin with a sunset drink, continue with cocktails as the music builds, or simply allow the evening to unfold at its own pace.
Inside, lighting and music are carefully balanced to encourage conversation and connection without overwhelming the space. At the heart of the experience is the bar, where cocktails and quality spirits are approached with creativity and curiosity.
Bartenders bring knowledge and personality to each interaction, guiding guests toward familiar favourites or new flavours in a relaxed and conversational way.
For Maxime Bouttier, the natural progression of the evening is central to SOLUNA’s appeal.
“I like places that have a natural progression to them — you can arrive while there is still daylight, watch the sunset, and then suddenly the whole mood of the night has changed. SOLUNA has that feeling where the music, the setting and the people all connect without it ever feeling forced.”
Laura Hasjim sees SOLUNA as part of an evolving nightlife culture that values individuality and meaningful connection.
“The way people experience nightlife is evolving; it is becoming less about simply going out and more about finding places with personality and a genuine sense of identity. With SOLUNA, we wanted to create a space that feels contemporary, intimate and connected to the way people want to socialise today.”
That philosophy extends to the venue’s hospitality. Service is attentive without being intrusive, while music, style and creativity become part of the experience without turning the space into spectacle.
For Randy Hasjim, the essence of SOLUNA lies in how guests feel when they are there.
“For me, SOLUNA is really about how a place makes you feel, not just how it looks or what you drink. We wanted to create an environment that feels personal and welcoming, where good hospitality, conversation and atmosphere come together naturally.”
Igor Raicevic adds that every element has been designed to contribute to a cohesive guest journey.
“For me, the strongest venues are the ones where every detail feels considered, but nothing feels forced. At SOLUNA, the goal was to create an experience that feels polished and intentional, while still allowing guests to relax, enjoy the atmosphere and let the night unfold naturally.”
Rather than focusing on a single type of occasion, SOLUNA is designed to adapt to the rhythm of the evening — from quiet conversations and sunset drinks to celebrations, spontaneous encounters and later hours when music and energy take centre stage.
As Seminyak continues to evolve as a destination for hospitality, nightlife, food, design and culture, SOLUNA aims to offer a more considered after-dark experience: intimate, contemporary and distinctly connected to Bali’s natural rhythm.
At its heart, SOLUNA is about transition and connection — between sun and moon, terrace and bar, calm and energy, familiar choices and new discoveries.
SOLUNA Bar Bali celebrated its Grand Opening in Seminyak on 22 August 2026, marking the arrival of a new destination for cocktails, music, connection and evenings after dark.
