Kupu-Kupu Beach

The World’s First Over-the-Water Beach on Stilts​

Elevate Your Beach Experience

Kupu-Kupu Beach (the name comes from the Indonesian word for butterfly) clocks in at approximately 90 feet long and 20 feet wide. It features velvety white sand and lush palm trees all around. 

Here you’ll find a 10-foot-wide wooden boardwalk, which acts as a natural extension of the island, along with stunning green quartz-tiled stairs that will take you down from the elevated beach to the crystalline waters below. Once in the water, you can enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, or a refreshing dip before heading back to your private oasis.

The Tipsy Bar

While you relax in style on Kupu-Kupu’s plentiful lounge chairs, grab a drink at Tipsy Bar, the beach’s idyllic watering hole with a wood shake roof that also serves light bites, beachside.
