If you are after laid-back luxury with a sharp, design-forward edge, Zendara Villas by Blacksand feels like a calm counterpoint to Canggu’s buzz. Each private villa centres around its own infinity pool, with open-plan living, clean lines and just the right amount of polish for a proper switch-off stay.

You’re a breezy 15-minute walk from Batu Bolong Beach, close enough for sunrise surfs and sunset drinks, but far enough back to escape the traffic and noise. Interiors are set up for real living too, with full kitchens, strong Wi-Fi and space to work or lounge, making it an easy pick for longer stays or slow travel.

Insider Intel:

  • Grab one of the resort bikes and head to Batu Bolong early — it’s the quickest way to the beach and the best time to beat both the crowds and the heat.

Think Palm Springs' most lavish, A-list stay but in the heart of bustling Canggu. From the clever crew behind the beloved Cali Villas, The Huntley Villas was one of Bali's hottest openings in 2025. It's a bit spesh—not least because it boasts its own fitness centre, sun terrace, and a year-round outdoor swimming pool for getting in those laps.

We're mad for the burnt orange pops of colour, Slim Aarons art vibes galore and the curved lines aplenty.

It's gorgeously styled, with a living space filled with wicker accents and neutral tones—but frankly, you'll find us out on the shaded roof terrace, sinking into the egg chair with a glass of something spesh. Either that, or we'll be downstairs alternating between the private pool and the comfy sun loungers.
