Tucked away in a leafy corner of Canggu, just minutes from the famous Batu Bolong Beach, this design-led boutique hotel feels like a modern oasis – calm, considered, and unmistakably cool.
Step through the gates and the noise of the street fades into birdsong and the gentle splash of fountains. Rooms are minimal but thoughtful, with sunlit terraces, breezy neutral tones, and touches of local craftsmanship. There’s no flash here, just a sense of calm purpose that feels entirely in tune with the slower rhythms of island life.
At the heart of the hotel, two pools ripple beneath tropical canopies, flanked by birdcage-style cabanas and low-slung loungers. One offering a more sunny, social setup, the other tucked away in a quieter courtyard.But Chesa isn’t a silent sanctuary. It’s social when you want it to be, especially around the poolside birdcage cabanas or at THARA, the hotel’s all-day kitchen and bar and bar where the iced lattes are on point, and the menu moves from nourishing Acai bowls at breakfast to indulgent fusion cuisine by dusk. It’s where surfers in linen shirts and barefoot founders tap on laptops over coconut cold brews.
The interior design and architecture is crisp and modern, softened with tropical landscaping and natural materials that reflect the surrounding environment. Stone, timber and rattan are balanced throughout the interiors, in clean lines and muted tones, offering a minimalist aesthetic that feels warm rather than stark. Think polished stone floors, floating wooden vanities, floor-to-ceiling French windows, and handmade ceramics and bespoke Balinese furnishings and artefacts’ to make each room unique.
It is also beautifully balanced. Close enough to the village’s famous Old Man’s and The Lawn for sunset negronis, yet just far enough back to escape the soundtrack of scooters and live music. For digital nomads, it ticks every box, lightning-fast WiFi, smart communal spaces, a state of the art, brand new gym, and rooms that double as restful remote work hideaways.
But it’s the sense of community that sets Chesa Canggu apart. Staff greet you by name, morning rituals form effortlessly, and even short stays take on the rhythm of routine. It’s the kind of place you arrive at for a long weekend and end up extending ‘just a few more days’.
With rooms starting from £90 per night, Chesa Canggu offers considered luxury at an accessible price point, a rare find in a town where style often comes at a premium. It’s not trying too hard, and that’s exactly why it works.
