I visit Bali every year. Now it may sound unimaginative to holiday to the same place, but I promise you this little Indonesian island is so inspiring and ever-evolving that once you’ve had a taste, you’ll be forever going back…
There is so much natural diversity on Bali, from the volcanic mountains beyond Ubud to the pristine blue sea at Uluwatu. With it’s hidden waterfalls, endless rice terraces, black sand beaches and ancient temples there is always something new and exciting to discover.
To fuel a trip filled with adventure you’ll need to be well fed. Just a few years ago, basing yourself in Canggu probably meant you had to venture into Seminyak for a delicious meal. Now you may never have to visit Seminyak again… It’s starting to get a little too busy for my liking anyway!
My boyfriend and I had originally planned to stay in Canggu for six nights. On the fifth night we had completely fallen in love with this little township, cancelled our trip to Ubud and planned to stay the whole 10 nights there.
I’d heard Canggu described as “hipster” or “too cool”, but I didn’t get that vibe at all. Its relatively empty streets are strolled by surfers and foodies, and the cafes are filled with expats and entrepreneurs who have truely adopted the Bali way of life. In Canggu I felt a warm welcome and a strong sense of community.
During my 10 day stay, I had the pleasure of tasting as many restaurants and cafes as 3 meals a day would allow. I thought I would share my favourites with you.
