Splitting a club table in Bali: how groups share one

Splitting a club or beach-club table in Bali: why the minimum belongs to the table, who should be the name on the booking, what to agree before the night, and what to ask the venue.

Updated November 8, 2026 · 4 min read

Splitting a table in Bali is something the group arranges among itself: the venue sets a minimum spend for the table, not for each person, and it deals with one booking under one name. At Savaya, Zumana and Desa Kitsuné, the table is the only reserved space, and how the group shares it is yours to agree before the night.

This guide is about the sharing, not the minimum itself. For what a minimum spend is and how bottle orders work, see the bottle service guide and minimum spend explained.

What the venue sees: one table, one name

A club table is booked as a single reservation. The venue sets its minimum spend for that night, and at Savaya and Zumana the table maps say it includes food and beverage credit. Whoever's name is on the booking is the person the venue deals with: the one who is asked for any deposit, who is met at the door, and who settles at the end.

So the first decision is who that person is. Pick someone who will be there from the start of the night, who has a valid photo ID (all three clubs are 21+), and who is comfortable being the contact the concierge messages on the day.

What to agree before the night

Most arguments at the end of a night out come from things nobody said at the start. Before you ask for a table, agree five things in the group:

  1. Who is in. A table is shared by the people on it; say how many you really are, so the venue can answer for the right table.
  2. Who is the name. One person on the booking, as above.
  3. How the deposit is handled, if the venue asks for one. It follows the venue's terms and is not a confirmation; the group decides among itself who advances it.
  4. How you settle among yourselves: evenly, or by what each person ordered. Either works if everyone knows in advance.
  5. What happens if someone drops out. The minimum stays the same whether the table holds more or fewer people, so decide now who covers a late cancellation within the group.

Paying at the venue

How a venue takes payment is its own policy. Savaya is cashless. Whether a venue can split the final bill across several cards on your night is a question the concierge can ask it when booking, rather than something to discover at the end. See cashless payment in Bali clubs.

Mixed groups and the door

All three partner clubs say mixed groups and couples are strongly preferred, and entry is decided by management. A table does not change the door's rules on dress or ID, but it does mean the group arrives together under one name rather than queuing separately. At Savaya and Zumana, re-entry is only with a table — useful if part of the group steps out.

When a table is not the answer

If half the group only wants to get in and dance, they do not need to share a table. The venues' guestlists are individual: each guest registers on the night's page, linked from the events calendar, and receives a digital ticket by email. Joining is free; entry is complimentary before the cutoff shown on the night's page, and registering does not guarantee entry. Some nights are ticketed only. The table and the guestlist can coexist in one group, as long as everyone knows where they will be standing.

The coming nights at the partner clubs

Savaya, on the Uluwatu clifftop, brings international headliners at weekends and Last Light on Mondays.

Zumana, at Sunset Bay in Kuta, has Ritual of the Sun on Saturdays and headliners on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Desa Kitsuné, in Canggu, turns its garden into the party every Tuesday and Friday, rain or shine.

How FirstBali handles a shared table

Send the concierge the date, the club, how many of you, and the name the table should be under. The concierge asks the venue for that night and comes back with the venue's terms in words, including any deposit and what the table includes. The table is yours once the venue confirms it. An assistant answers at any hour; the team works through the Bali day and evening.

Questions we get asked

＋Can a group split a club table in Bali?

Yes. The venue sets one minimum spend for the table and deals with one name; how the group shares it is agreed among yourselves.

＋Is the minimum spend per person?

No. The minimum belongs to the table and is set by the venue for that night. It stays the same however many of you sit at it.

＋Can we split the bill on several cards?

That depends on the venue's policy. Ask the concierge to check with the venue when booking rather than at the end of the night.

＋Whose name should the table be under?

Someone who will be there from the start, holds a valid photo ID and can answer the concierge on the day. The venue deals with that person.

＋Does part of the group need a table to get in?

No. Others can register individually on the venue's guestlist from the night's page, where one is open. Registering does not guarantee entry, and some nights are ticketed only.

＋Is the table confirmed once the deposit is paid?

No. A deposit follows the venue's terms and is not a confirmation. The table is yours once the venue confirms it.
