Tourists sipping cocktails while lounging beside infinity pools at popular beachfront bars have been wiped out by tidal waves as flooding and high tides batter South Bali and kill two tourists.
The surf has been off-limits due to dangerous conditions, but even those on land at idyllic hot-spot Ku De Ta in Seminyak have been endangered by the giant waves this week.
Shocking footage shows the waves crashing over tourists by the pool, while The Rock Bar at Ayana Resort 20km south has been deserted and damaged, WA Today reports.
Two tourists, from Hong Kong and Singapore, died after they were dragged out to sea at Padang Galak Beach in Sanur, local newspaper Tribun Bali reported on Wednesday.
The dangerous conditions forced tourists on a ship to evacuate to the top level.
