Canggu
Canggu is Bali's most fashionable and creative beach district, a rapidly evolving coastal neighbourhood that has attracted digital nomads, surfers, health-conscious travellers and the international creative community with its outstanding café culture, excellent surf breaks, world class yoga studios, vibrant beach clubs and a growing restaurant scene that rivals any in Bali. From the surf breaks of Echo Beach and Batu Bolong to the artisan coffee culture of Finn's Beach Club, Canggu delivers a thoroughly contemporary Bali experience.
Elect's take
"Canggu has a creative energy and a quality of café and wellness culture that I find genuinely appealing. The combination of excellent surf, outstanding coffee, world class yoga and some of Bali's finest beach clubs creates a destination that rewards those seeking a more active and contemporary island experience."
Echo Beach in Canggu provides consistently good surf conditions for intermediate and experienced surfers with a vibrant beach club scene behind the break. Batu Bolong Beach is more gentle and provides beautiful sunset views. The café culture of Canggu, centred around establishments like Revolver Espresso and The Lawn, is the finest in Bali with excellent single-origin coffee and outstanding plant-based food. Finns Beach Club provides one of the finest beach club experiences in Bali. The yoga culture, expressed through studios like Radiantly Alive and The Practice, provides world class instruction. Tanah Lot temple, one of Bali's most iconic sea temples, is approximately 20 minutes north.
