Cheap accommodations in Canggu

Canggu Indonesia

Canggu is a coastal village and 10 km beach on the south coast of Bali, Indonesia. It's situated roughly 10 kilometers north of Kuta, and offers a much more laid-back atmosphere for dining, cultural and beach activities. The main streets in Canggu are Jalan Batu Bolong, Jalan Padang Linjong, Jalan Batu Mejan and Jalan Tanah Barak. Along Jalan Batu Bolong you'll find the temple of the dead, Pura Merajapati, and the Pipitan Cemetery. Along the beach there are two main temples, Pura Batu Bolong and Pura Batu Mejan, both of which are hundreds of years old and were initiated for building by Dang Hyang Nirartha. The Canggu area used to boast scenic views of paddy fields and coconut groves but current rapid developments are quickly replacing these traditional views with private villas. Canggu has become popular among surfers as a longboard-friendly surf spot, one of the few on the island. Three main strips have developed for tourists - both surfers and non-surfers. The spotlight on the area as a surf destination has been helped along by the presence of Deus Ex Machina's Bali outpost, the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm, and its annual contest that focuses on classic single fin longboarding.
