Being accommodated in Seminyak does not mean you’ll be having to stay there your entire holiday. Visit The Colony Hotels neighbors! We will begin our series of “The Colony Hotel’s neighbors” with the tiny coastal village of Canggu.
A booming resort area with one of the best surf destinations in the world. Along Canggu’s coastline is comprised of a variety of black-sand beaches: Seminyak’s Batu Belig beach, Batu Bolong beach, Echo beach, Pererenan beach, and Seseh beach.
The little village also features refreshing landscape sceneries of lush rice paddies that makes it a residential choice for the Balinese and expatriates. Leading to an abundance of traditional homes or resorts complete with 5-star facilities.

Living the Canggu vibes
Canggu has a very distinct feel to it compared to Seminyak. It’s described as a ‘state-of-mind’ more than it is a place. Its beaches are not prized like Seminyak or Kuta beach where tourists swim and sunbathe, but offers a renowned and challenging surf spot. Even though Canggu can be considered as a rural area compared to its neighbors, an alluring collection of boutiques and casual cafes are beginning to grow. Here some of the things to do in Canggu for the day:
Must do’s in the Gu (Canggu)
1. The abundance of custom motorbikes
As an area famous for its loud, modified, and custom motorbikes, Deus Ex Machina – Temple of Enthusiasm along with plenty more custom garages such us Malamadre and Treasure Garage, it is a must to try out one of these bad boys in Canggu. Enjoy Bali to the fullest and rent out a custom motorcycle to cruise around the island of the Gods with style. Now and then, a biking event can take place if you’re lucky during your holiday. Such as the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride.
