Canggu on Bali’s south-west coast is a haven for surfers, foodies, and digital nomads alike. The wide, sandy beaches are speckled with sunset bars, and the locals make a daily ritual of sundowners overlooking the waves.

There’s accommodation to suit every taste and budget, from luxurious villas and 5-star stays to charming little homestays.

It’s also a hub for dining, with vegan cafes galore, Australian-style eateries, and great date-night venues.

If yoga’s your thing, you’ll fit right in. Classes are well priced and a wide variety of yoga styles are catered for.

And with such an array of interesting locals and visitors, it’s a people-watcher’s paradise, too!

Things to Do in Canggu

As far as day-time activities go, surfing is Canggu’s number one. It’s hard to go anywhere without spotting the hipster surfers that have made the neighbourhood home.

Meanwhile, the yoga scene is second only to Ubud’s. Gorgeous studios overlook rice paddies, gardens, or the sea. And whether you’re looking for a strength and flexibility class or a one-on-one session to help you relax, you’ll find it here. 

Like the rest of Bali, Canggu has its share of temples. One of the most spectacular is Tanah Lot, a sea temple perched atop a rock formation. Accessible only at low tide, it’s the west coast’s most visited tourist attraction.

While we’ve only named a few activities, there’s much more to be explored, and we encourage you to check them out!
