about
Canggu
Canggu is located north of the Kuta and Seminyak areas and was originally a village where tourists resorted just before the Kuta rush. What was a hipster locality has become crowded with tourists, and rental prices are skyrocketing.
Canggu is a tourist center in Bali at the moment. We like to say that Canggu is everything and nothing. There is "everything" that a visitor from developed countries needs: supermarkets, cafes, great restaurants with cuisines from all over the world, lively nightlife, clubs, fitness centers, etc.
But on the other hand, there is "nothing" of the real Bali. Canggu is almost just a tourist place with the worst traffic on the island. Of course, it will find its fans and will be a popular area for travelers looking for an area with trendy beach clubs and restaurants. Canggu is simply "alive."
Canggu is also a hub for digital nomads, who have countless coworking centers at their disposal, and networking goes incredibly well here.
The beaches in Canggu are great for beginner and advanced surfing. Due to the frequent big waves, they are unsuitable for swimming, and there are often dangerous currents in the sea.
