About Canggu
On Bali's striking south-western coast, Canggu is a surf, yoga and foodie hotspot, perfect for a fun-filled beach break. Just an hour from the airport, this is a land of golden sands and superb swells. Canggu’s enduring popularity means that there’s accommodation here to suit all tastes and budgets, including rustic hideaways, private retreats and luxury resorts. You’ll find 1970s-style minimalist chic as well as impressive vintage art collections at our pick of the best places to stay in Canggu.
Visitors flock to Canggu’s beaches — and with good reason. Batu Bolong, Berawa, Canggu, Echo and Nelayan beaches are amongst our favourites. Borrow a board to surf the waves, take lessons with skilled instructors or simply kick back on the sand. Those less keen to surf can kayak, paddle board, sail or swim instead. For independent boutiques, cafés, co-working spaces and buzzy restaurants, head to Canggu Avenue. Nearby yoga and dance studios or restful spas are ideal for unwinding and reconnecting — Bali’s other famous draw.
Venture inland for hiking and cycling opportunities, or to visit the Subak Museum, the lesser-known Manusa Yadnya and Bali’s beautiful royal palaces. Sunset cocktails and fresh seafood suppers await at the best places to stay in Canggu.

TRAVEL INFORMATION
- Most visitors arrive at Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport — which is also sometimes called Bali International or Denpasar International — a major hub for Australia and South East Asia. If you’re coming from Europe or the US, you might need to travel via Jakarta Airport. Speak to your hotel about arranging an airport transfer, or hop into one of the many airport taxis on arrival, pre-paid at a ticket booth just before the duty-free area. The airport is just an hour's drive from Canggu.
- Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
- Close to the equator, tropical Bali is hot and humid year-round. July - August and the Christmas holidays are the most popular time to visit, but you'll find good weather and good deals April - June and in September, outside the rainy season but without the crowds.
