Canggu

Canggu lies in the Badung regency, about ten kilometres north-west of Kuta, and it was once a place of rice fields and coconut groves. Tourism arrived with an international surfing event that the village and its surf community staged in 1990, and since then villas, cafés and surf schools have taken over much of the farmland. The paddies still show between the houses, and the shaded, quiet lanes are made for a bicycle or a scooter.

Mornings start on the sand. Batu Bolong is the gentle end of the village, where beginners find small waves close to the shore. Echo Beach, the westernmost beach, has dark volcanic sand and a sandbar, the Sandbar, which breaks well for advanced surfers. By late afternoon the surfers come out of the water, and the sunset crowd moves to the beach clubs, along the shore to watch the light.

Batu Bolong sits beside a temple of the same name, hundreds of years old and still in use, and the road at the end of the beach is lined with bars and restaurants. Pura Batu Mejan, another old temple of the village, is also hundreds of years old. The village’s cafés are part of its daily rhythm, where a morning coffee often stretches into lunch.

Beach clubs and hotels give the coast its social life. Finns Beach Club, on Jalan Pantai Berawa, and Old Man’s, on Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong, are among the beach clubs of the village, and The Lawn stands on the Batu Bolong beachfront. Hotel Tugu Bali is on the same road, and Regent Bali Canggu, the first Regent in Indonesia, is open on the shore, with rooms facing the ocean. CURE Bali opened inside Regent Bali Canggu in April 2026, the new restaurant of chef Andrew Walsh, whose CURE in Singapore received a Michelin star in 2021 and appeared on the World’s 50 Best Discovery list.

Pererenan, beside Echo Beach, is the quieter side of the village. Its reef break suits only strong intermediate and advanced surfers, and its lanes turn greener between the rice fields, where the villas sit back from the road. Noema Resort, on Jalan Pantai Pererenan, is a short walk from the beach.

Tanah Lot, one of the seven main sea temples of Bali, stands on its rock offshore in the neighbouring Tabanan regency. Seminyak lies next door along the coast, and a shortcut through Berawa links the two. The airport is often forty-five minutes or more away by car, depending on the traffic.

For families, Canggu Community School, on Jalan Subak Sari in Tibubeneng, is an international school from the early years to Year 13, with the IB Diploma for the older pupils. The rest of the day belongs to the village: the surf in the morning, the cafés, and the long evenings on the sand.

Further luxury projects in Pererenan and Berawa are available on request. In Canggu we have River Villa, which looks over the rice fields, The Bank by OXO, which faces the river and the jungle, and Villa Dharma, which opens onto its own courtyard garden. Among the villas in Canggu, these are the houses where the day runs between the water and the fields.

Each residence offered here is handled personally by your advisor, with private viewings by appointment.
