When it comes to Canggu, most people first think of surfing, cafes, and beach clubs. This area has long been a haven for backpackers and digital nomads, with relatively few high-end accommodation options.
But in November 2025, this quietly changed.
Regent, the luxury brand under IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), opened its first hotel in Indonesia on Batu Bolong Beach. This isn’t just another five-star hotel in Canggu—it’s an upgrade to the entire area’s accommodation standards.
📍 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, boutique shops, and beach clubs.
Agoda’s location rating is a solid 9.5/10, which speaks volumes.
Within walking distance, you’ll find Echo Beach (a popular surf spot) and Batu Bolong Beach. Heading north leads to the quieter coffee culture area of Pererenan. The surrounding area is packed with renowned restaurants and beach clubs, so you don’t need to go far to enjoy excellent food.
The only thing to note is that driving from the airport can take over two hours if you hit afternoon traffic. One guest reported leaving the airport at 6 PM and taking a full 150 minutes to arrive. This isn’t a hotel issue 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 forms and modern geometric language, creates a refined sense of tropical luxury that avoids tackiness. Every room comes equipped with a teak bathtub!
The pool area is one of the most frequently mentioned highlights by guests. It’s expansive, featuring several large pools, and includes private cabanas for relaxation. One guest aptly described it as ‘a serene oasis in the heart of bustling Canggu,’ a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with.
Regent Spa is the first of its kind globally under the Regent brand—this isn’t just marketing, it’s truly a world-first. With 7 treatment rooms (including 1 couples’ suite), a sauna, and a cold plunge pool, the spa combines traditional Balinese herbal therapies with modern skincare technology. Additionally, there are yoga classes and a 24-hour gym.
Dining options are another major highlight of this hotel. There are 6 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 shared 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 beachfront bar perfect for cocktails and sunbathing
- Pool Bar and The Lounge: Poolside snacks and coffee for ultimate comfort
🛏️ Room Types
A total of 150 rooms and suites, all facing either the sea or gardens, with no basic options.
The main room categories are divided into several tiers:
▲ Studio Suite 1 King｜Classic Open Suite (King Bed) Combines modern aesthetics of bedroom and living space. Open the window to feel the sea breeze of Canggu, making it the ultimate choice for couples.
▲ 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 as soon as you wake up, enjoying the leisurely life by the water.
▲ Two Bedroom Suite｜Prestigious Two-Bedroom Suite Tailored for families or groups of friends, 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) Offers breathtaking ocean views and a 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 ultimate luxury, with soft sandy beaches right outside your door, and private poolside views of the Indian Ocean sunset and waves.
Guests have particularly noted the details in the rooms: the hairdryer in the bathroom is a Dyson, a small detail that truly reflects the brand’s commitment to the guest experience.
👥 Ideal For
Honeymooners are undoubtedly the perfect fit here, with private pool villas, Regent Spa, and a Michelin-starred chef restaurant - the formula hits all the right notes. Travelers wanting top-tier accommodations in Canggu without venturing to Uluwatu will also find this spot ideal, thanks to its great location and strong sense of local life - it’s not one of those isolated resorts. Surf enthusiasts looking for upscale stays can enjoy direct access to Echo Beach for surfing sessions, followed by high-end accommodations in the evening.
💬 Guest Reviews
One guest who stayed in October 2025 described the pool area as unexpectedly expansive, featuring several large independent pools directly facing the beach, creating an atmosphere that made them feel like they were in “a secluded paradise amidst 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 vibe.
It’s worth noting that seasoned travelers pointed out that compared to other top-tier Bali options at similar price points (like Four Seasons Jimbaran or Six Senses Uluwatu), the entry-level rooms here offer relatively lower value for money, as those places allow stays in rooms with private pools within the same budget. This is an honest reminder, especially if your budget falls in the $400–$600 USD/night range - it’s advisable to carefully compare room types before deciding.
