Canggu & Berawa

The character of the place

Canggu and Berawa have grown from farming villages into one of the most sought-after stretches of the west coast. Daily life here moves between the beach, small workspaces and neighbourhood cafés, and many lanes still open onto working rice fields.

Expect a lively, mixed community of long-stay residents and young families. Traffic on the main roads can be slow at peak times, so people often choose their home by which lane it sits on as much as by the house itself.
