Hotels in Canggu

Most people in Canngu stay in a luxury villa. The older properties tend to have large rolling gardens while the numerous newer ones can be on small plots of land, suitable for those on a budget. There are a few hotels but only one is worth mentioning.

The big Canggu splurge is the mega Villa Mana, Jl. Pipitan Sari, Br. Babakan, Canngu (tel. 0361/730668; fax 0361/736566; 7 bedrooms; peak season US$1,300; high season US$1,200; low season US$1,000; meals market price; AE, MC, V). Soaring 5m (16-ft.) ceilings shelter the clean and modern design of shimmering dark woods and polished stone with contemporary Balinese art. Wooden decking surrounds the infinity pool and lounge area replete with a tricked-out bar. A whirlpool is perched above the rice paddy with a view to Mount Batukaru; just below is a playing field perfect for soccer and frolicking kids. The seven oversize en-suite bedrooms and industrial strength kitchen make this place party central.
