Where to Stay in Canggu: 6 Spectacular Resorts

Canggu is a beautiful resort village on the southern side of Bali. This picturesque village is surrounded by iconic rice paddies and beaches. And, being so close to some of Bali’s best attractions, Canggu is the ideal place for you to settle yourself for your dream Indonesian vacation.

This Bali village is just minutes from the Seminyak resort area, where you’ll find high-end boutiques, shops and restaurants. And a little further South is the fun beachside town of Kuta, which has the best Bali nightlife.

Just north of Canggu is also one of Bali’s most popular Hindu Temples, Tanah Lot.

In other words, if you’re staying at one of these amazing Canggu Bali boutique hotels, you’ll be close to everything you could want for an epic Bali vacation. And if the surf is what you’re after, you don’t need to go any further than Canggu’s own beaches.

Where to Stay in Canggu: Neighborhoods

Canggu Bali isn’t a large town, so wherever you stay, it’ll be easy to get around. But if you want to stay in a space where you can just walk outside your door and be in the central busyness and Canggu’s amazing restaurants, Batu Bolong is the area for you.

If you’re staying in Batu Bolong Canggu, you can easily pop into the craft market, and then to Deux Ex Machina for a unique cocktail.

Old Mans is also just down this road, and it’s an institution of its own. Just try to get to Old Mans Canggu early enough to grab one of the seaside tables or couches.

If you’re hungry, walk down to I Am Vegan Babe. The name might not suit you, but their jackfruit nachos will. The homemade snickers bars at this Canggu restaurant are also out of this world. You’ll remember them long after you leave the shores of Indonesia.

Berawa Beach is also a great choice of neighbourhood. You’ll be close to Seminyak and the famous Finn’s Beach Club. So if you’re looking for a high-end area where you can shop and then lounge around in your swimsuit with a perfect cocktail in hand, this is the spot for you.

And then at the end of a day of fun, you can go home to your gorgeous Canggu villa or resort. Head straight to the spa, or call the in house masseuse. After all, Bali is a classic spa break.

3. Komea Villa

These breezy villas look out onto the rice fields from tropical gardens and terraces. At Komea Villa you can stay in a one or two-bedroom villa, with your own private pool to spend your days in.

Stretch out on one of the deck chairs and take it all in while you dry off from a swim under the sun. Or read a book under your outdoor pavilion at Komea Villa Canggu, settled comfortably in one of the couches.

You can even ask for your complimentary breakfast to be brought to your pavilion. The banana pancakes are particularly scrumptious.

Komea villas Bali also have open-air bathrooms, which is the absolute dream. After a long day of adventures, or just lounging by the pool (both a great way to spend your day), you can soak in the stone tub and look out at the greenery and the star dotted sky.

4. Annupuri Villas

These gorgeous villas are located in a quiet neighbourhood a little bit out of the hubbub of Canggu. If you’re getting around with a scooter, which is the most popular form of Bali transportation, it’ll be easy to get wherever you’re wanting to go. That is, if you ever want to leave the comfort of Annupuri Villas.

You can choose a private pool villa, or simply stick with the slightly more communal pool at Annupuri Villas Canggu that you can dive into nicely. Whichever option you choose, you’ll have a private balcony where you can sip your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine from.

Annupuri Villas Bali has a bar on-site, so you can have your favourite drink in hand whenever you choose.

5. Tapi Tepi Kali

If you love the bright colours of Bali, but would prefer to return to muted colours and minimalist decor after a day of vibrancy, Tapi Tepi Kali is ideal for you.

From the colours of the rooms to the pebbled pool, everything at Tapi Tepi Kali Canggu helps the guest to unwind. Which is sometimes exactly what one needs in a foreign country.

There is an on-site restaurant at Tapi Tepi Kali Bali that serves Indonesian, Chinese, and American cuisines, so you don’t need to leave your bubble. And the excellent chef offers cooking classes if you particularly love some of their dishes and want to take them home with you.

There are also yoga classes available if you really want to get into the Bali vibe. Or if you’d prefer to head to the beach, Echo Beach is 1.8km away, and Batu Bolong is 2.3km. You can easily take a scooter taxi there (which is very much a thing here, as daunting as that might feel).

6. Exotica Bali Villa

These villas are simple but sweet, with teak wood furnishings and a warm vibrancy throughout. And if you want a particularly luxurious stay, you can book the Exotica Bali Villa suite. It has an open-air bathroom with a stone bath and rainfall shower. Dreamy.

The location of Exotica Bali Villa is perfect if you plan on being active in Canggu, as it’s on the main road. However, guests have reported that although it is so central, the environment is quiet and peaceful. Perhaps it’s all the lush vegetation that muffles the outside world.

There is, of course, also a pool for guests. Canggu, Bali accommodation wouldn’t be complete without a blue pool to sink into during the heat of the day.
