overview
Hotel Tugu Bali sits in the middle of Canggu, a short walk from Batu Bolong Beach and the surf breaks that made the area known, Old Man's and Tugu Left. It bills itself as Canggu's original surf hotel, and what really sets it apart is its collection: one of Indonesia's more substantial private holdings of Indonesian, Balinese, Javanese, and Peranakan antiques, built into the suites, pavilions, and gardens rather than displayed separately.
Dining is a genuine draw, Ji Restaurant Bali serves Japanese food inside a reconstructed centuries-old temple facing the ocean, Waroeng Tugu handles Indonesian cooking from royal-kitchen and spice-route recipes, and Kawisari pours coffee grown on the owners' own East Java plantation. This is a small, dense, heavily decorated property rather than a big resort.

The three links below go straight to each.
our review
This is closer to a museum you can sleep in than a hotel. Tugu holds one of Indonesia's more substantial private collections of Indonesian, Balinese, Javanese and Peranakan antiques, and they are built into the suites, pavilions and gardens rather than displayed behind glass.
Ji Restaurant sits inside a reconstructed centuries-old temple, and Waroeng Tugu cooks royal-kitchen and spice-route recipes. It is a short walk from Batu Bolong Beach and the Old Man's and Tugu Left breaks. A 9.1 from 146 guests is strong. Nothing else in Canggu is remotely like it. We would come for the collection and treat the surf as a bonus.
