Garden party in Bali: Desa Kitsuné's Garden nights

Bali's garden party is at Desa Kitsuné in Canggu: every Tuesday and Friday its 5,000 m² garden becomes the dance floor, rain or shine. What the format is like, who it suits and how to go.

Bali's best-known garden party is at Desa Kitsuné, in the heart of Canggu. Every Tuesday and Friday, rain or shine, the 5,000 m² garden of this lifestyle village, created by Savaya Group with the French-Japanese brand Maison Kitsuné, becomes the party: guest DJs on Tuesdays, Bali-based DJs on Fridays. It is a night out among trees and lawns rather than on a cliff or a beach, and it starts with dinner a few steps away.

What a garden party means here

A garden party at Desa Kitsuné is a full club night, with DJs, a dance floor and tables, set in open-air grounds instead of a building. Desa means village, and the party happens inside one: Café Kitsuné, the Ina Ré restaurant and a Maison Kitsuné boutique share the grounds. The village has a pool, but it is decorative only, so this is a garden night, never a pool party or a swim.

Tuesday or Friday

  • Tuesday: guest DJs in the Garden, a night that gives a midweek reason to go out in Canggu.
  • Friday: Desa Kitsuné's night for "celebrating and supporting local talent", with DJs based in Bali from international backgrounds, and a natural start to the weekend.

These are the venue's usual weeks; each date on the calendar names its own line-up or concept. The night-by-night comparison is in Desa Kitsuné on Tuesday or Friday.

Who a garden night suits

  1. Groups of friends who want to dance without a long drive: Desa Kitsuné is in Canggu, close to many of the area's villas. See Desa Kitsuné for a group night.
  2. Couples: mixed groups and couples are strongly preferred at the door, and the setting suits a dinner-and-dance evening. See Desa Kitsuné for couples.
  3. Anyone curious about the island's own scene: Friday is built around Bali-based DJs.
  4. People who find a superclub too much: the Garden is a different scale from a headliner night on a cliff, and the village around it gives the evening somewhere to begin and somewhere to pause.

From dinner to the Garden

Ina Ré, the village's restaurant, is led by Chilean executive chef Cristian Encina and brings together Mediterranean flavours and Latin American street food: paellas to share, ceviches, tacos, empanadas and wood-fired meats. Its space draws on Balinese arts and crafts, and it has private dining rooms for groups. A dinner booking is not a place on the guestlist, so arrange both; Desa Kitsuné from day to night explains how.

Restaurants · Canggu

Ina Ré is the restaurant of Desa Kitsuné, the lifestyle village on Jalan Munduk Catu in Canggu. Chilean executive chef Cristian Encina brings together Mediterranean flavours and Latin American street food: paellas to share, ceviches, tacos, empanadas and wood-fired meats such as the Stockyard tomahawk. The space draws on Balinese arts and crafts, with handmade materials, weavings and traditional motifs, and includes private dining rooms for groups. Sunday brunch has its own menu, and so do Courtyard Saturdays.

Rain or shine

The venue states that its parties run "rain or shine", which matters in the wet season. Since the party carries on whatever the sky does, plan for a shower rather than against it: light clothes that dry quickly, shoes you are happy to walk on a garden path in, and nothing you would mind getting damp. Desa Kitsuné, rain or shine has more.

Getting in

  • Guestlist: the venue's own. You register yourself, free of charge, for each night on its page, and get a digital ticket by email. Entry is complimentary before the cutoff shown there, reduced after, and the cutoff is earlier for men. A list never guarantees entry; management decides.
  • Tickets: some nights are ticketed only, sold through the venue's own channel.
  • Tables: the only reserved space; the venue sets the minimum spend for each night, and the table is yours once the venue confirms it. Any deposit follows the venue's terms.
  • Age and ID: 21+ with a valid photo ID, passport or driving licence.
  • Dress: smart casual; flip-flops, hard-sole shoes and boots are refused. Read the Desa Kitsuné dress code.

If the Garden is not on that night

Desa Kitsuné's sister venues dance in the open air too. Zumana, at Sunset Bay in Kuta, has an open-air dance floor on the beach and parties every day, with Ritual of the Sun on Saturdays. Savaya, on the Uluwatu clifftop, runs Last Light on Mondays and headliners at weekends.

Tell the concierge which Tuesday or Friday you have in mind: FirstBali sends you the night's guestlist link, or books a table with the venue, which confirms it, and can arrange a car with driver for the ride home. An assistant answers at any hour, and the team through the Bali day and evening.
