Canggu: Where to Stay and What to Do

Surf beaches, rice-field views, sunset beach clubs and a café scene that is hard to beat, all a few minutes apart. Our team has been based in Canggu since 2013, and these are the places we recommend to our own guests.

Good to know

• Getting here: Canggu is usually about an hour by car from Ngurah Rai International Airport, and longer at busy times. We can arrange an airport transfer for you.
• Getting around: Most guests rent a scooter, which we can arrange, or use ride-hailing apps such as Gojek and Grab. For day trips, we can book a private driver.
• Weather: It is warm all year. The dry season usually runs from around April to October, and the rest of the year brings more rain, often in short, heavy afternoon showers.
• At the beach: Currents can be strong, so swim where lifeguards are on duty.
• Temples: Cover your shoulders and knees and wear a sarong when you visit a temple, and give ceremonies plenty of space.
• Longer stays: Several of our properties offer weekly and monthly rates, which suit remote workers and families.
