MID-RANGE HOTELS IN CANGGU
Places to stay under $200 per night
1. Hotel Sages
You’ll love it because… Hotel Sages is an adults-only boutique Canggu hotel that’s all about privacy, beauty, and breathtaking interiors. So much so, it could easily be mistaken for a private five-star villa. But Hotel Sages is actually a collection of designer rooms that look out over the glittering pool, fringed by a warm and cosy communal space. It’s filled with tropical green plants, Moroccan-style architecture (hello white-stone archways!) and all the gorgeous knick-knacks you normally only find in a villa. Think house-made ceramics, luxurious textiles and Pinterest-worthy nooks everywhere you look. And psst – you’ll want to join one of the workshops at the hotel’s very own pottery studio and art space…
Location: Padonan
2. Vassani Stay
You’ll love it because… Vassani Stay is home to breezy private lofts and studios, just a quick two-minute scoot ride away from one of Bali’s most popular surf spots. This modest complex of just seven apartments come with sexy, minimalistic and earthy designs, some with kitchens, workspaces and mezzanines, and a shared swimming pool at its heart. Like your very own humble abode (or bachelor pad, maybe?!) in the heart of paradise, you’re just steps away from Canggu’s best bars, spas, boutiques and cafes.
Location: Echo Beach
3. Shore Amora
You’ll love it because… Shore Amora is an urban lifestyle hotel in Canggu that fuses different aesthetic elements with its very own in-house rice field. Just footsteps from Pererenan Beach, the hotel’s address couldn’t get much better, and the same can be said for the contemporary suites, villas and breezy poolside restaurant. We could spend hours, days and weeks just floating from the plunge-pool villa, to the hotel’s Jani Spa and grazing at the poolside Boheme restaurant. There’s even a rooftop chapel to say your “I dos”, a nomad space for Canggu’s remote workers, and a rooftop lounge to mix, mingle and watch the sun go down…
Location: Pererenan
4. Chesa Canggu
You’ll love it because… Chesa Canggu is a minimalist Canggu hotel nestled within tropical gardens, with Canggu’s hotspots on your doorstep.

The modern-minimalist rooms are design-driven, seamlessly blending luxury, style and comfort. We love the custom-made beds, the spacious living areas and the views from your private balcony or terrace. Cosy up in a cabana beside the 18-metre-long glittering pools (yes, there are two!), meet like-minded travellers at the hotel’s social space, or stroll to Batu Bolong beach, where surfing, beach clubs and cool cafes await…
Location: Batu Bolong
5. Citadines Berawa Beach Bali
You’ll love it because… Citadines Berawa Beach Bali isn’t quite a hotel, nor is it an apartment – it’s a serviced residence that’s designed for longer stays in Bali, or for those who simply want the feeling of having their own beachfront apartment. So much so, it’s pet-friendly too, with thoughtful comforts to make your four-legged friend feel at home! Inside your contemporary abode, you’ll also find your very own living room and kitchenette, while outside of your studio, suite or apartment, you get access to handy amenities and all the must-have necessities (hello fitness centre, rooftop lounge and laundry room!). All of this, and that’s before we mention the pool, the ocean views, and the address that’s just footsteps from Berawa Beach. We couldn’t think of a better place to call home!
Location: Berawa
6. Aston Canggu Beach Resort
You’ll love it because… at Aston Canggu Beach Resort, you can watch the sun dip down into the deep blue sea from the famous Batu Bolong beach (it’s right on your doorstep!), or from the hotel’s very own picturesque rooftop infinity pool. You can also fill your grumbling tummy with some gourmet bites beneath the clouds at the resort’s rooftop dining resto. And just FYI, every single room here features a private balcony for you to soak up that fresh ocean breeze every single day.

You’ll love it because… COMO Uma Canggu is the crème de la crème of Canggu hotels.
