Where to stay in Canggu: The 6 best areas
Batu Bolong Beach: Batu Bolong, often dubbed the heart of Canggu, is a vibrant and busy area offering a diverse range of accommodations, from luxurious resorts to budget-friendly hostels. The beach is a stone's throw away, making it ideal for beach lovers and those who want to be in the center of the action.
⭐ My top hotel pick in Batu Bolong: Aston Canggu Beach Resort
Berawa Beach: Berawa is a thriving area in Canggu on the other side of the “Canggu shortcut”, that strikes a balance between trendy and tranquil. This area is popular for its upscale villas and resorts, making it an excellent choice for travelers seeking a more refined and relaxed atmosphere. It's close to Berawa Beach and its breaks, renowned beach clubs like Finns and Atlas Beach Club, and a burgeoning dining scene.
⭐ My top hotel pick in Berawa Beach: Swarga Suites Bali Berawa
Echo Beach: Echo Beach is a haven for surf enthusiasts and seafood lovers. With its iconic black sand beach and a growing number of boutique hotels, it's perfect for those looking to ride the waves and enjoy the freshest catches of the day at the beachfront restaurants, including La Brisa Beach Club.
⭐ My top hotel pick in Echo Beach: Ecozy Dijiwa Canggu
Pererenan Beach: Pererenan offers a more serene and rustic experience compared to its busier neighbors. Only a few narrow “shortcuts” through rice fields lead from Echo Beach to Pererenan, otherwise coming by car, you always have to take the trip along Jalan Raya Canggu, which serves as a bustling artery connecting the various neighborhoods. Pererenan is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a quieter stay, with a mix of rice field views and villas tucked away in the lush countryside.
⭐ My top hotel pick in Pererenan Beach: IZE Canggu
Inland on the other side of Jalan Raya Canggu: This area is a little off the beaten path, providing a different perspective of Canggu. It's characterized by traditional Balinese villages, rice paddies, and a sense of tranquility. Accommodations here range from charming guesthouses to luxury retreats, offering a unique, authentic experience for your stay in Canggu Bali. There's an increasing range of cafes and restaurants to be found here as well.
⭐ My top hotel pick inland of Canggu: BoHo Canggu
Alternative beyond Canggu – Seseh Beach: Seseh Beach offers a much more serene and authentic Balinese experience for those seeking to escape Canggu without being too far from it to enjoy its cafes. It's less crowded than other areas of Canggu, with accommodations ranging from boutique hotels to private villas. Seseh Beach is perfect for those who want to relax and soak in the natural beauty of Bali's west coast without any crowds.
