Villa Canggu by Plataran

Set among the paddy fields of Canggu, beside a river and within tropical gardens, Villa Canggu by Plataran keeps company with birdsong and the hum of crickets. It sits just steps from the main street, yet the noise of it falls away entirely. The grounds were laid out as a labyrinth by the late landscape architect Made Wijaya, an arrangement that lets guests wander into their own pockets of quiet…Set among the paddy fields of Canggu, beside a river and within tropical gardens, Villa Canggu by Plataran keeps company with birdsong and the hum of crickets. It sits just steps from the main street, yet the noise of it falls away entirely. The grounds were laid out as a labyrinth by the late landscape architect Made Wijaya, an arrangement that lets guests wander into their own pockets of quiet. Indonesia's architectural heritage runs through the place, from the 250-year-old Joglo that forms reception to the villas under alang-alang roofs, each entered through an antique carved doorway. Days here turn on spa rituals, on the kitchen, and on the cultural and spiritual traditions that shape Balinese life. Kerobokan is about five minutes' drive away, and the nearest airport around fifteen.
