    MORE INFO

    Canggu is no longer the cheap hidden Bali village it once was, but it still offers a rare concentration of remote-work lifestyle infrastructure. You can work from a villa, join coworking spaces, surf before lunch, train at modern gyms, and meet other nomads almost instantly. The downside is traffic, rising rents, and a scene that can feel overly international rather than deeply Indonesian.
