Located just north of Seminyak, idyllic Canggu makes a great travel destination for both families with young children and 20-something backpackers. This rural beachside town offers great surfing, wide beaches, a plethora of lively dining options and luxurious villas (some with direct beach access!).
There’s something for every traveller looking for Canggu villas - whether you’re into beachfront living, enjoy being enveloped by tropical greenery or want the best of both worlds. The surroundings are lush and quiet, with most Canggu villas located a 20 to 30-minute drive from the town centre and bustling Seminyak.
Many Canggu villas offer access to the posh Finns Recreation Club (previously known as Canggu Club) as part of your rental. This family-friendly venue, featuring amenities like a fitness room, tennis courts, bowling alley, on-site restaurants, kids club and poolside bar is ideal for families with kids.
Beach lovers are spoilt for choice while enjoying their stay at Canggu villas. You’ll find something that floats your boat - whether you’re keen on riding the waves, swimming laps or are just in the mood for sunbathing and chilling out along the coast. Nelayan beach is a great option for wading and swimming, while the heavy surf and currents at the beaches of Pererenan and Echo are ideal for expert surfers. Berawa is a good bet for surfers and swimmers alike - but this also depends on how strong the waves are.
Love how rejuvenated you feel after an invigorating yoga session? Go stretch it out with daily morning yoga sessions in your villa, or join in a class at Samadi Yoga or Desa Seni’s School of Yoga. Sink into a deeper state of relaxation with an indulgent spa ritual; Merapu Svaasthya spa, Therapy and Gold Dust Beauty Lounge are some of the best spa parlours on the island.
Your Bali vacation won’t be complete without a bout of family fun. Take the little ones out for a horse riding session at the Bali Equestrian Centre, where you’ll find children programs, tours and top-notch facilities. Your kids will also enjoy taking in the Instagram-worthy sight of the Pererenan rice fields, as well as catching the gorgeous sunset scenery at Nelayan beach.
If you aren’t travelling with little ones in tow, how about unwinding in the evenings with cocktails and a spectacular sunset show at a stylish beach club? We like Finns beach club for its lively ambience, and The Lawn Beach Lounge because it has it all - hammocks, huge pillows, great vibes and more. Complete the night with drinks and live music at Deus Cafe, Sandbar or RezzMatazz.
Dining options are aplenty around Canggu villas. L'Osteria has some of the tastiest Italian items in town, Ruko Cafe oozes vibrant vibes and Milk & Madu offers a family-friendly setting. For an extra special night, we say: enjoy an intimate al fresco dinner in your villa!
