Bali · The digital-nomad coast
Canggu is Bali's southwestern coastal strip, transformed over a decade from rice fields and surf breaks into the island's densest concentration of cafés, co-working space and long-stay foreigners.
Villas dominate, from compact one-bedroom units to large compounds, almost all on leasehold. New supply has been rapid, and quality varies enormously between developers.

The strongest short and mid-term rental demand in Bali, driven by long-stay remote workers rather than package tourism, which gives it a flatter season than the south.

Independent Indonesian legal advice is not optional.
