Bali is a fantastic destination for single guys who want to meet girls. As soon as you'll arrive, you can download some popular dating apps and you'll be surprised by the high number of matches you will get. To be fair, there are also many prostitutes - especially on specific websites like Seeking - so be aware of it.
Another great way to meet girls in Bali is to visit bars and nightclubs, especially if you are staying around Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu. I wrote extensively about the nightlife in those areas, most recently here: Bali Nightlife.
In the following article, I will focus on the most recommended spots to meet girls. I've made sure to mention a diversity of venues so you are certain to find exactly what you are looking for.

IndonesianCupid (Advertising)
Meeting girls in nightclubs in Bali is relatively easy if you are young, good-looking and confident. For the rest of us, I recommend making some contacts online before going out.
IndonesianCupid works well because most girls there are looking to meet foreigners. Unlike on Tinder, many will not mind if you are not living in Bali.
For this reason, you can start chatting with them even before you arrive in Indonesia and set up a few dates while you are still in your home country.
It is free to register and to look at all the girls' profiles. If you match them, it's also free to chat.
Best Nightclubs to Meet Girls in Bali
Hottest nightclub in Bali at the moment. Trendy foreign and Indonesian crowd, including lots of sexy girls. It has a restaurant and two floors of music (hip-hop, RnB, and progressive, techno). Good DJs.
The best night is on Wednesday when girls can drink and eat for FREE. On that day, the ratio of girls/guys is probably around 70/30. The entrance fee is 150K for men.
Beware, there are quite many prostitutes and professional girlfriends as well.
Male crowd: Westerners mostly
Female crowd: Indonesians mostly, some westerners
Age of clients: 25-40
Dress code: Casual
La Favela is one of the busiest bars in Seminyak, and also a great one to meet beautiful ladies.
Don't visit it too early as it is also a restaurant. Things get more interesting after midnight when the small dancefloor gets packed and steamy. The music is mainstream with essentially Top 40 hits from the past 30 years.
Free entrance. Check their Instagram for events.

Small nightclub with usually good electronic music (Techno, deep house). It has a modern design and it is a bit dark, making it conducive to meet new people.
Free entrance before 11.30pm. FDC 150k after that.
Male crowd: Europeans
Female crowd: Indonesians (with some prostitutes, though)
Age of clients: 25-45
Dress code: Formal
Motel Mexicola is one of the most happening bars in Seminyak, every night of the week. Maybe because of its Mexican theme, it is a magnet for women, mostly Australians, and Indonesians.
To maximize your chances, I recommend you to sit on one of the communal picnic tables in the main room. There, you will never be too far from a group of women sipping margaritas.
Free entrance. Check their Instagram for events.

Just across La Favela, Red Carpet Champagne Lounge is a pickup spot for guys interested in older women (above 35).
The place is often full, with tables very near to each other, so it's easy to befriend your neighbors. Despite its name, Red Carpet isn't really posh: It is laid-back and almost decadent. A fun place to get drunk!
Free entrance.

Male crowd: Western tourists and expats
Female crowd: Western tourists, expats and Indonesians.
Age of clients: 35-60
Dress code: Chic tropical wear
Mirror is a nightclub where most customers are rich Asians (and particularly Indonesians from Jakarta). You will enjoy it if you are looking to meet with young hi-so girls (high-society).
As long as you don't look like a backpacker or a tourist, you can be successful inside. It also helps if you book a table and order bottle service.
There is a first-drink charge of IDR250,000.
Male crowd: Indonesian-Chinese from Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Denpasar
Female crowd: Same as above
Age of clients: 20-30
Dress code: Pants and shoes compulsory for men
This minimalist nightclub is one of the most happening in Bali now. Underground atmosphere (one of the rooms is actually called "the bunker") and trendy crowd. Music is hip-hop or techno.
Male crowd: Europeans, Indonesians
Female crowd: Same as above
Age of clients: 25-35
Pick up possibilities: Average
Dress code: Formal but relaxed
Meeting Girls in Ubud

Since the movie 'Eat, Pray, Love', the village has become a retreat for all sorts of women (divorcees, backpackers, hippies, etc...). They come for several months to learn about cooking, massage, yoga, art and spirituality among others.
If you are interested in those things, you'll find plenty of dating opportunities. Just join a few classes during the day and hit the bars at night (Laughing Buddha in particular).
