We visited Bali in September of 2019 and the first and most common question everybody does is where to stay in the island. The first thing you must have in mind is that Bali is huge and that you probably will take a long time to go from one place to another. Besides the main attractions be far away from each other, in Bali the traffic is chaotic. So we don’t recommend to rent scooters or a car. The greatest tip is to hire a local guide to take you on the trips. We did all our tours with the travel agency Onmywaytobali and we strongly recommend it. They made us a detailed itinerary and took us to all of our tours. To contact Rodrigo from Onmywaytobali, click here.

Bali is known for its many lovely rice fields, for its swings, beaches and waterfalls, for its mountains and forests, for its Hindu temples and because of its yoga retreats. Besides, the island is also one of the most desired places for surfers, cuz Bali is especially famous for its world surfing championships. And a hotel that is the face of Bali, located less than 5 minutes walking distance from Canggu Beach, a surf village, is Hotel Tugu Bali.

For the reason Bali is too big, the first tip to book a hotel in the island is to choose more than one region to stay. Besides taking too long to go from one attraction to another, every part of the island seems to be a different city. Canggu is only 20 minutes away from Seminyak, but we lived two different kinds of experience on each of them. Both regions have nice beaches and a good commerce and they both have services infrastructure and you can do many things by walking. But in Canggu you’ll find more exclusive and luxurious resorts, and staying there the peace and calmness are guaranteed. Our stay in Hotel Tugu was perfect! Besides, Canggu Beach is one of the best surf spots in Bali and on the beach you will also find rental surf equipment and plenty of cafes. So, if you like sports and also like to stay in a 5 star luxury hotel, you will love to stay in Hotel Tugu Bali, in Canggu Beach!
Ubud is the opposite of Seminyak and Canggu. There, you will stay literally in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by beautiful rice fields, Hindu temples, forests, waterfalls and yoga’s centers. So, we recommend you to choose among 2 or 3 different regions to stay in Bali. We chose Ubud, Seminyak and Canggu Beach and we loved them all! But Canggu Beach must have on your list!
The second tip to book a hotel in Bali is to prioritize the areas below Ubud. Ubud stays basically in the center of the island, north to the capital Dempasar and it’s considered Bali’s cultural heart. We don’t recommend to stay in the north of Bali, cuz most attractions and the best beaches stay in the south. And like I said before, you take much time going from one place to another.

Finally, the third advice to find a hotel in Bali is to search for good references and take a look at the evaluations on sites like TripAdvisor, Booking and Hotels.com because there you can have a real idea of how your stay will be. And a very well reviewed hotel in Canggu Beach is Hotel Tugu Bali.
If you look for a peaceful place in Bali, just a few steps from the beach and with luxury resorts, then Canggu is the right place for you. And the perfect hotel for you to spend honeymoon, celebrate a special event or even for the whole family enjoy sometime together is @tuguhotels.

It’s amazing! We loved this kind of hotel. It has an excellent cost benefit. In a vacation trip, we defend the idea that it’s worth to invest a little bit in yourself, so you can have more glamour, luxury and comfort in paradise.

 

Tugu Hotels has won numerous prestigious international awards. And this Indonesian experience is achieved not only through the artful design and themed décor, but also from the various cultural experiences that guests can only have in the hotel.
