When it comes to Canggu, most people immediately think of surfing, cafés, and beach clubs. It’s long been a haven for backpackers and digital nomads, with relatively few high-end accommodation options.
But in November 2025, that quietly changed.
IHG’s top-tier brand, Regent, chose the Batu Bolong coastline to open Indonesia’s first Regent Hotel. This isn’t just another five-star hotel in Canggu—it’s a major upgrade to the area’s overall accommodation standards.
📍 Location and Surroundings
Regent Bali Canggu sits at Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No. 93, directly facing the black sand coastline.
The address says Canggu, but more precisely, it’s along the stretch between Batu Bolong and Echo Beach. This is the most atmospheric part of Canggu—not the chaotic tourist crowds, but a laid-back vibe dotted with cafés, concept stores, and beach clubs.
Agoda gives it a location score of 9.5/10, which says it all.
Within walking distance are Echo Beach (a popular surf spot) and Batu Bolong Beach, while heading north leads to the quieter coffee culture area of Pererenan. The surrounding area is packed with renowned restaurants and beach clubs, so you can enjoy great food without traveling far.
One thing to note: if you drive from the airport and hit afternoon traffic, it could take over two hours. One guest reported leaving the airport at 6 PM and it took a full 150 minutes to arrive. This isn’t the hotel’s fault—it’s just the reality of Canggu’s location.
🏨 Facilities Overview
The entire resort was designed by WATG Architects, with interiors by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA). Stone, teak, and marble are blended together, using traditional Balinese roof forms with modern geometric language. It doesn’t come off as tacky tropical luxury but rather a restrained elegance. All rooms come with teak bathtubs!
The pool area is one of the most frequently praised highlights by guests. It’s expansive, divided into several large independent pools, with private cabanas you can book for some alone time. One guest described it as a “serene oasis in the heart of busy Canggu”—a spot-on description, I’d say.
Regent Spa is currently the world’s first Regent-branded spa—and that’s not just marketing talk; it’s truly a global debut. It features 7 treatment rooms (including one couples suite), a sauna, and a cold plunge pool. Treatments combine traditional Balinese herbal remedies with modern skincare technology, plus 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 style, 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, with menu items like rendang sapi, grilled prawns with petai beans, and East Javanese soto ayam
- Beach House: A beachfront bar, perfect for cocktails and soaking up the sun
- Pool Bar and The Lounge: Poolside snacks and coffee for ultimate relaxation
🛏️ Room Types
There are 150 rooms and suites in total, all with ocean or garden views—no budget options here.
The main room categories are divided into several tiers:
▲ Studio Suite 1 King｜Classic Studio Suite (King Bed) A modern blend of bedroom and living space, open the window to feel the sea breeze of Canggu—the ultimate choice for a couple’s getaway.
▲ Studio Suite Lagoon Access 2 Twin｜Lagoon Access Studio Suite (Twin Beds) The terrace connects directly to the azure pool, letting you dive in as soon as you wake up and enjoy the laid-back lifestyle by the water.
▲ Two Bedroom Suite｜Premium Two-Bedroom Suite Tailor-made 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) With sweeping ocean views and a dedicated private pool, this penthouse defines the pinnacle of luxury atop Canggu.
▲ One Bedroom Villa Beachfront Private Pool｜Beachfront One-Bedroom Villa (with Private Pool) The epitome of ultimate luxury—step out your door onto soft sand, and savor the Indian Ocean sunset and the sound of waves by your private pool.
Guests have specifically noted the details in the room: the hairdryer in the bathroom is a Dyson. Such small touches really speak to the brand’s commitment to the guest experience.
👥 Who It’s For
Honeymooners are undoubtedly the best fit—private pool villas, Regent Spa, and Michelin-starred chef restaurants make a perfect match. It’s also ideal for travelers who want top-tier luxury in Canggu without heading to Uluwatu—the location is great, with a strong sense of local life, not the kind of secluded resort. For those who love surfing but still want a high-end stay, you can walk straight to Echo Beach to hit the waves and return to top-notch accommodations at night.
💬 Real Guest Reviews
A guest who stayed in October 2025 described the pool area as surprisingly expansive, with several large independent pools and direct beach access, creating an atmosphere she felt was like ‘a hidden paradise amidst the bustling long beach.’
Another traveler shared that breakfast was almost entirely à la carte, with different specialty dishes rotating daily and excellent coffee quality. The overall experience felt closer to a ‘high-end boutique hotel vibe’ rather than a standardized chain hotel.
One noteworthy point: seasoned travelers pointed out that compared to other top-tier Bali options at the same price point (such as Four Seasons Jimbaran or Six Senses Uluwatu), the entry-level rooms offer relatively lower value for money, as those places offer room types with private pools for the same budget. This is an honest heads-up, especially if your budget is in the $400–$600 USD/night range—it’s worth carefully comparing room types before deciding.
