Neighbourhood to Know: Pantai Batu Bolong

Over the past few years Canggu has seen a transformation from a series of small villages skirting the sea and hidden in the rice paddies to vibrant pockets containing cool restaurants, independent shops and spas and gorgeous villas. One of our fave areas in Canggu by far is Pantai Batu Bolong for its stellar surf breaks and beach chic vibe. If you haven’t made it down here yet, you’ll definitely want to make a trip to check out some of these happening spots.

Old-Mans-Canggu


Old Man’s

Not too many places can pull off a buzzing vibe in both the day and night, but Old Man’s does just that. This colourful and quirky eatery and bar has a range of seating outside on the patio overlooking the beach, on cushioned benches and wooden tables under the covered patio, or at the bar. Head here for lunch to grab fresh salads, sandwiches and gelato, or come for a seafood BBQ dinner as the sun sets over the ocean and stay on for groovy tunes and potent cocktails after dark.
