You could stay in Canggu. Or you could head a little further north to Tabanan, AKA the version of Canggu that visitors from 20 years ago will talk of. Nirjhara feels like a secret sanctuary reserved for those in the know: an ultra-chic hideaway that draws a stylish crowd with the decor to match.
The first thing you'll notice is the waterfall that flows straight into the pool, perfectly placed for a sunset cocktail. Villas are perched above the river or, for something a little different, Nirjhara’s signature treehouses offer panoramic views of the rice fields from their rooftop decks.
Missing civilization? Canggu’s bars and restaurants are just a short drive away for when you want to dip back into the island's livelier setting.
