When it comes to Canggu, most people first think of surfing, cafes, and beach clubs. This area has always been a haven for backpackers and digital nomads, with relatively few high-end accommodation options.
But in November 2025, this quietly changed.
Regent, the premier brand under the IHG Group (InterContinental Hotels Group), opened its first hotel in Indonesia on the Batu Bolong coastline. This isn’t just another five-star hotel in Canggu; it’s an upgrade for the entire Canggu accommodation scene.
📍 Location & Surroundings
Regent Bali Canggu is located at Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No. 93, directly facing the black sand coastline.
While the address says Canggu, more precisely, it’s situated between Batu Bolong and Echo Beach. This area is the most atmospheric part of Canggu, not the overcrowded tourist spots, but a leisurely lifestyle dotted with cafes, boutiques, and beach clubs.
Agoda’s location rating is a solid 9.5/10, which says it all.
Within walking distance are Echo Beach (a popular surfing spot) and Batu Bolong Beach. Heading north, you’ll find the quieter coffee culture area of Pererenan. The surrounding area is dense with renowned restaurants and beach clubs, so you don’t have to go far to enjoy great food.
The only thing to note is that driving from the airport, especially during afternoon traffic, can take over two hours. One guest reported leaving the airport at 6 PM and spending a full 150 minutes to arrive. This isn’t a fault of the hotel but rather a reality of Canggu’s location.
🏨 Facilities Overview
The entire resort was designed by WATG Architects, with interiors by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA). The blend of stone, teak, and marble, combined with Bali’s traditional roof styles and modern geometric elements, creates a refined aesthetic rather than a tacky tropical luxury vibe. All rooms feature teak bathtubs!
The pool area is one of the highlights frequently mentioned by guests. It’s expansive, divided into several large pools, with private cabanas available for relaxation. One guest aptly described it as ‘a serene oasis in the bustling Canggu area,’ which I find spot-on.
Regent Spa is the first of its kind globally under the Regent brand—this isn’t just marketing, it’s truly the world’s debut. With seven treatment rooms (including one couples’ suite), a sauna, and a cold plunge pool, the spa combines traditional Balinese herbal therapies with modern skincare technology. Yoga classes and a 24-hour gym are also available.
Dining options are another major highlight of this hotel. There are six dining venues, two of which are helmed by Michelin-starred chef Andrew Walsh:
- Sazón: Mediterranean-inspired, focusing on grilled seafood, slow-cooked meats, and flatbreads, with a sharing menu concept
- Cure Bali (opening early 2026): An extension of Walsh’s flagship Cure in Singapore, blending Asian ingredients with European techniques
- Taru: Authentic Indonesian cuisine, featuring dishes like rendang sapi, grilled prawns with pete beans, and East Javanese soto ayam
- Beach House: A beachside bar perfect for cocktails and sunbathing
- Pool Bar and The Lounge: Poolside snacks and coffee for ultimate comfort
🛏️ Room Overview
There are 150 rooms and suites, all facing either the ocean or gardens—no basic options here.
The main room types are divided into several tiers:
▲ Studio Suite 1 King｜Classic Open Suite (King Bed) Combining modern aesthetics of bedroom and living space, open the window to feel the sea breeze of Canggu, making it the ultimate choice for a couples’ getaway.
▲ Studio Suite Lagoon Access 2 Twin｜Pool Access Open Suite (Two Twin Beds) The terrace directly connects to the azure pool, allowing you to dive into the water right after waking up in the morning, enjoying the leisurely life by the water.
▲ Two Bedroom Suite｜Prestigious Two-Bedroom Suite Tailored for families or friends traveling together, featuring a spacious shared living room and private bathrooms, striking the perfect balance between privacy and togetherness.
▲ Two Bedroom Penthouse Oceanfront Private Pool｜Oceanfront Two-Bedroom Penthouse (with Private Pool) Breathtaking ocean views paired with an exclusive private pool, defining the pinnacle of luxury at the top of Canggu.
▲ One Bedroom Villa Beachfront Private Pool｜Beachfront One-Bedroom Villa (with Private Pool) The epitome of luxury, step out the door onto soft sandy beaches, and enjoy the sunset and waves of the Indian Ocean by your private pool.
Guests have specifically mentioned details in the room: the hair dryer in the bathroom is a Dyson, such small details truly reflect the brand’s commitment to the guest experience.
👥 Ideal For
Honeymooners are undoubtedly the most suitable group, with private pool Villas + Regent Spa + Michelin-starred chef restaurants, the formula hits all the right notes. Travelers looking for top-tier accommodations in Canggu without venturing to Uluwatu will also find this place ideal, thanks to its great location and strong sense of living, not the isolated type of resort. Surf enthusiasts who also want to stay in comfort can directly walk to Echo Beach for surfing during the day and enjoy high-standard accommodations at night.
💬 Real Guest Reviews
A guest staying in October 2025 described the pool area as unexpectedly large, with several separate pools and direct beach access, creating a vibe that made her feel like she was in “a secluded paradise amidst the bustling Long Beach.”
Another traveler shared that breakfast was mostly à la carte, with different specialty dishes rotating daily. The coffee quality was excellent, and the overall experience felt closer to “a high-end boutique hotel” rather than a standard chain hotel.
Notably, seasoned travelers pointed out that compared to other top-tier Bali options in the same price range (like Four Seasons Jimbaran or Six Senses Uluwatu), the entry-level rooms here offer relatively lower value for money, as those places provide rooms with private pools for the same budget. This is an honest reminder, especially if your budget falls within the $400–$600 USD/night range—carefully compare room types before deciding.
