What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Canggu? The beach? The hipster cafes? Yup, from sipping coffees to suntanning on the beach, Canggu definitely has something for everyone!

The perfect vacay here starts from waking up to a beautiful beach view from your room, and heading down to the coolest cafes nearby for your favourite avo-toasts and Instagrammable smoothie bowls. Trust us, your entire day will practically fly by with a small dip in the ocean and snapping #foodporn photos from chic cafes!

Of course, that’s not all that this up-and-coming trendy spot in Bali offers. By night time, Canggu will transform into a party area where social butterflies can meet tons of friendly locals and surfers while bonding over drinks so grab your friends, dress up, and pop by one of those lively beach clubs and bars!

Canggu has so much to offer, but it can be tiring to travel back and forth to the different places. To make the most of your time, we recommend staying at one of these hotels in Canggu that are close to the beaches and cafes. This way, you won’t have to waste time traveling.

Note: This list of stays has been curated based on the hotels’ locations and proximity to the beach and trendy cafes.

The prices reflected below are the low season rates for the hotels and they exclude tax and service charges. Accommodation rates often change with room availability, and low or high seasons. We recommend double checking for the final prices before confirming your booking.

1. Get your fill of Canggu’s beach with Santorini vibes: LV8 Resort Hotel

Water you doing in Bali if you aren’t at the beach? At LV8 Resort Hotel, you don’t just get to take photos of Bali’s spectacular beaches, but also experience a touch of Santorini, the absolute beach paradise, to fulfill all your Instagram fantasies!

Lazy travellers like me would rejoice for the fact that Berawa beach is right in front of the resort so you don’t even need to get out of the hotel to see the beach for yourself. Just soak up a little sunshine by the pool facing the ocean and indulge in a cocktail (or two!) for the ultimate beachfront experience!
