Canggu, Bali

Canggu is a quiet town on the west coast of Bali. Unlike Kuta, the beaches at Canggu is almost deserted, allowing you to enjoy the vast expanse. It is in fact possible to walk along the beach from Canggu all the way to Seminyak.

As with Kuta, you can also surf at Canggu. In fact, it was surfers who first discovered Canggu, in the early 1970's, and they quickly made it their private domain. Due to the big waves, the beach here is not suitable for swimming.

The style of accommodation that you can find in Canggu can be classified under the boutique hotel category. One place worth checking out is the Tugu, a boutique hotel whose name means "monument". This self-styled "museum hotel" has an eclectic mix of furnishing that fuses Dayak artifacts with Art Deco furnishing.
