Review: Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu nails wellness & play, right by the beach

I found the best of both worlds at Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu, where sunrise yoga flows effortlessly into sunset cocktails.

If you’re anything like me – craving sunrise yoga, beach days, and buzzing nightlife all in one Bali getaway – you’re in for a treat. Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu is a sleek, surf-inspired hotel that blends wellness, beachy vibes, and Canggu’s effortlessly cool energy into one seamless stay – just a stone’s throw from the ever-lively Batu Bolong Beach.

So, I went ahead and checked-in for a weekend getaway, and I quickly found out just how effortless it is to slip from a sunrise yoga class to sunset cocktails… All without leaving the resort! But of course, with Canggu’s hottest cafés and bars on my doorstep, I couldn’t resist stepping out to explore…

Here’s what I got up to during my stay at Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu, and what you can look forward to if you also choose this wellness-meets-play hotel in Bali.

Movement, but make it fun!

Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu takes a refreshingly fun approach to wellness. Think movement that actually feels good. The resort instantly got me hooked on the “Where Movement Meets the Moment” concept. They offer a plethora of light wellness activities that flow through the week.

To get your day started, you can cycle through Canggu’s streets to visit temples and Batu Bolong Beach. My favourite? Morning yoga on the rooftop, complete with an ocean breeze and a glowing horizon. After brunch, I even went back to the rooftop to join the Aqua Aerobics. And FYI, these activities are complimentary for resort guests.

Other sessions on offer? For an additional charge, there’s a cocktail making class which wraps up just in time for sunset. Or, challenge your mates to a friendly game of beer bucket pong in the pool, with a floatie as your table! Up for something more heart-pounding? Move with power at a boxing class, or take a surf lesson in collaboration with Rip Curl.

And if you want to keep things simple, try a Balinese arts and crafts class, or sweat it out at the 24-hour fitness centre, which has everything you need for a quick workout on your own schedule. Whether wellness to you means unwinding, socialising, or just stretching it out before brunch, Holiday Inn knows how to make it fun.

That Rooftop Moment: Sunrise yoga to sunset cocktails

It’s hard not to fall for the rooftop at Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu. Maybe it’s the 180-degree sweeping views of the Indian Ocean. Or maybe it’s all the things you can do here, like sunrise yoga, daytime hangs by the pool, or sipping cocktails from the swim-up bar. It really feels like the beating heart of the hotel.

It also happens to be one of Canggu’s top spots for sunset, with laid-back tunes, comfy loungers, and a front-row seat to golden hour. Bonus: the resort’s central location means you’re just minutes from Batu Bolong Beach, and Canggu’s best restaurants, boutiques, beach clubs and bars. It’s one of the most convenient bases in the neighbourhood.

ROOMAH: A taste of Asian heritage and global flavours

Of course, no hotel stay is complete without food. So, I swung by ROOMAH, the signature restaurant at Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu. There, I found an elevated take on comfort food that hits all the right notes. The concept is simple but clever: they celebrate Asia’s culinary roots while blending global techniques and flavours.

I tried the slow-cooked chicken with Balinese betutu spice, which was kept authentic as promised. It came with steamed red rice, traditional lawar kacang, peanuts and Bali’s essential condiment, sambal matah. There’s also a focus on freshness and seasonality – great for those looking to eat clean but still with bold flavours.

The open kitchen has just enough eclectic touches that makes ROOMAH feel like, well, “rumah” AKA “home”. It’s a cosy place where you’d happily settle into, long after your last bite. And here’s an insider tip for families: they have a Kids Stay and Eat Free program!

It just shows how Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu offers something for everyone – just footsteps from the ocean. From sunrise yoga to sunset floats in the rooftop pool – this is where wellness and play truly collide.
