Canggu, Bali
Surf, cafés, coworking — and the quiet lanes where you'll actually sleep. The honest Canggu guide.
Bali's loudest success story
Canggu is a coastal area on Bali's south-west coast, about 45–90 minutes from the airport depending on traffic, made up of four distinct micro-areas: Batu Bolong, Berawa, Echo Beach and the quiet inland lanes. It is the island's café, coworking and nightlife capital — busiest on the beach strips, calm five minutes inland. Casa Living Bali runs Villa Mochi here, a two-bedroom private-pool villa on one of those quiet lanes. The trick to enjoying Canggu is picking the right micro-area: the strips deliver the scene; the lanes deliver the sleep.
Choose your Canggu
Further out: Babakan's rice-field pocket · Pererenan's food strip · and the Seseh coast, 15 minutes west, when you want the opposite of all this.
