Escape to Paradise: Stunning Canggu Beach House, 150m from Berawa!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup, because we're diving headfirst into the "Escape to Paradise: Stunning Canggu Beach House, 150m from Berawa!" review. Forget boring brochures and PR fluff. We're getting REAL. This isn't just a hotel review; it's an experience, a slight rant, and hopefully, a helpful guide all rolled into one.
First Impression: Instagram vs. Reality (and Why It Actually Matters)
Let's be honest, when you see those Instagram photos, you’re already halfway to booking. The endless pool shots, the perfect sunset… it's all a bit too perfect, right? But the beauty of this place, at least from my experience, is that it mostly delivers on the Insta-promise. Yeah, there's some minor imperfections just like in life, but it's charming.
The Vibe: Relaxed, Not Stuffy. That’s Good.
Okay, so the "Stunning" part of the name? Yeah, it's earned. The house is beautiful, airy, and it just feels good. And at only 150m from Berawa Beach? Dude, that's practically stumbling distance.
Accessibility & Other Practicalities (The Boring but Important Stuff)
Wheelchair Accessible?: I wish I could give you a definitive yes or no but based on their page I would advise you to confirm with them and request details on ramps, lifts or other accessibility features, because it is not something well documented on the property page.
Internet Access/Wi-Fi: YES! Thank the gods. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! You're not going to be tearing your hair out trying to connect. There's also, according to the list LAN access, well, I'm guessing in the rooms, and don't worry about the public areas, they're covered too. That makes me happy. And hey, Wi-Fi is also available for "special events". I'm picturing a very tech-savvy Balinese wedding.
Laundry & Ironing: The answer is yes, and yes. Essential. You can't go to Bali looking like you've been dragged through a hedge backward. Unless… maybe that's your brand?
Services and Conveniences: I've read "Facilities for disabled guests" – I'd inquire specifically about details to verify it matches your needs to avoid issues at the destination.
Car Park & Getting Around: Plenty of parking! And they'll do airport transfers. You can taxi, they have valet parking (fancy!) and even car-charging stations! Now, I'm not personally driving my electrical car to Bali but I'm sure, if you're on the roads, it's welcome.
The Rooms: Your Personal Paradise Pod
Okay, let's be real. The room itself is where you're going to spend a good chunk of your time.
- So, what's the deal? Air conditioning, a mini-bar, bathrobes (YES!), and a window that opens. Like, proper, fresh-air-in-your-lungs-that-smells-like-the-ocean open. You'd be surprised how many "luxury" places skimp on that, and that’s a deal-breaker for me.
- Extra Touches: The complimentary tea, in-room safe, and daily housekeeping are very thoughtful and make my stay more enjoyable.
- Important! The "non-smoking rooms" is a huge bonus. Don't be that jerk smoking in your room.
- Bathroom: Private, of course, with separate shower/bathtub situations. And toiletries! No sad, generic hotel soap here.
- I also really appreciated: Blackout curtains for some much-needed sleep and the availability of an extra long bed. Amen.
Dining, Drinking, and the Art of the Poolside Snack
Look, I'm a foodie. The food can make or break a trip. Thankfully, this place delivers.
- Restaurants: Several! Multiple cuisines! Asian, Western, and… a Vegetarian restaurant! They have everything ready and they have happy hour. Sold.
- Breakfast Situation: Asian breakfast? Western breakfast? Buffet style? Room service breakfast? ALL YOUR BREAKFAST DREAMS CAN COME TRUE.
- The Poolside Bar: This is where the magic happens. So many cocktails, and, yes, snacks!
- Other Important Info: 24-hour room service. Yes, please. Coffee shop, too!
- Special diet? Alternative meal arrangements are available. They have a bottle of water waiting for you, and also, an a la carte menu is a great asset.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Beyond the Beach (and Pool… obviously)
Okay, so you're not just going to sit in the pool all day, right? Although that's tempting. Here's what else you can expect:
- The Spa: Massages, body scrubs, body wraps… the works! They have a sauna, a steam room, and they even have a pool with a view.
- Fitness Center: I'm not a gym bunny, but hey, it's there. You can work off all those delicious cocktails.
- Pool: Swimming pool [outdoor] . Need I say more?
- Things to Do: This place gets all the boxes of the typical things to do.
Cleanliness, Safety, and COVID Considerations (Because, You Know…)
Let’s be real, we’re all a little extra paranoid these days.
- Hand Sanitizer: Present and accounted for.
- Daily Disinfection: They're on it. Common areas get disinfected every day.
- Staff Training: Staff trained in safety protocol.
- Room Sanitization: Rooms sanitized between stays. You can even opt-out of room sanitization, which I appreciate (some people are weird about that, and I can understand it).
- Safe Dining: They use sanitized kitchen and tableware items, and they offer a safe dining setup.
- Other Good Stuff: Anti-viral cleaning products, fresh air, and physical distancing of at least 1 meter.
For the Kids (or the Babysitting Service)
Are you travelling with kids? They have babysitting services, and kids' facilities that should make your stay a breeze.
My Personal Anecdote (Because I Can't Resist)
One evening, while sunning by the pool, I got talking to this dude, let's call him Dave. Dave was celebrating his anniversary with his wife. He’d been there before, and he was a total raving fan. He couldn't stop gushing about the massage he got, the food, and how genuinely friendly the staff were. He even said that the service was impeccable, and although his "experience" wasn't perfect, he "wouldn't hesitate to recommend the house to anyone", according to Dave.
The Quirks & Imperfections (Because Nothing is Ever Perfect, Right?)
Look, no place is perfect. Maybe the Wi-Fi was a little slow during peak hours. Maybe the air con in the gym was a touch weak. These are the little things. But honestly, they're easily forgiven. This isn’t a sterile, soul-crushing chain hotel. It's got character. And sometimes, a little bit of "realness" is exactly what you need.
The Verdict: Book It! (But Keep a Realistic Perspective)
This place is fantastic. It’s not just a place to stay; it's an experience. You’re getting a beautiful villa-style accommodation, seriously delicious food, a killer location, and service that genuinely seems to care.

Beach House Canggu: My Messy, Gloriously Imperfect Bali Odyssey
(Day 1: Jet Lag, Bliss, and the Burning Question of the Sunscreen)
5:00 AM: Woke up. Or rather, was violently ejected from sleep thanks to a gremlin in my body clock. Still in London time. Realized the sun is already blasting like a hairdryer aimed directly at my eyeballs. Commence frantic sunscreen application. Forgot to buy any. Brilliant. This is going to be a painful tan, I can feel it.
7:00 AM: Finally figured out how to unlock the damn villa. Beach House Canggu looks even more stunning in person than the pictures, all airy white and teak. Immediately face-planted onto one of those ridiculously comfy beanbags. Bliss. Until the ants started a colony on my leg. Welcome to Bali, baby!
8:00 AM: The Berawa Beach Baptism: Stumbled down to Berawa Beach. The waves are surprisingly gentle. The sand is as soft as they say. Tried to look all chill, but felt like a pale, awkward flamingo amongst the tanned, effortlessly cool surfers. Kept getting sand everywhere. In my hair. In my shorts. In places I didn't even know sand could get.
9:00 AM: Breakfast from the little warung just outside. Nasi goreng with an egg that wiggled when poked. Delicious. And cheap as chips! Suddenly, the existential dread from the plane ride seems manageable. Life is good… aside from the aforementioned ant invasion.
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Pool Time! Decided to just be for a bit. Reading a book, but kept getting distracted. People-watching is far better than actually reading. Local kids splashing and playing, tourists trying so hard to look relaxed, it's all very entertaining. Nearly drowned myself reaching for a floating coconut…
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch (because, food is essential). Another warung expedition. This time, grilled fish with lime and chili. Spicy! Burned my lip, but worth it. This is what "vacation" is supposed to feel like, right? All the good food and the sun on your bare skin.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Attempted a nap by the pool. Failed. A rooster decided to serenade me with a relentless, uninspired crowing. Found a gecko on the roof staring at me. This is war.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Surfed. Or rather, attempted to surf. Fell more than I stood. Swallowed an ocean's worth of salt water. Emerging from the water looking like a drowned rat. The waves are surprisingly strong. But I did not give up.
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Sunset at Old Man's. The classic. Crowded, yes. Touristy, sure. But the sunset is a goddamn masterpiece. Sipped a Bintang. Felt vaguely melancholic. Realized I hadn't showered since arriving. Oh well. Everyone else looks equally grimy.
9:00 PM onwards: Dinner. Found a little restaurant (the name is a blur), had some yummy satay sticks. Tried to stay awake, but the jet lag is starting to kick back in. Passed out in the villa.
(Day 2: Beyond the Beach – And My Ongoing War with the Gecko)
7:00 AM: The rooster is the absolute worst. Managed to get a slightly longer sleep this time. The sun is even more intense. Apply the sunscreen. Finally remembered to buy a proper one from the shop nearby.
8:00 AM: Breakfast and planning. Decided to be adventurous and rent a scooter. I love the adrenaline rush! Got really good at honking.
9:00 AM: Visit to Tanah Lot temple. A beautiful place filled with tourists. The crowd feels like people are queuing for a concert. But it's still worth the trip.
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Explored Canggu and its endless cafes and shops. Had a coffee and a pastry. Shopping is dangerous when you have a credit card.
1:00 PM: Lunch at a quirky vegan place. I'm not vegan, but the vibe here is great. Feeling like a real local now.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Back to the pool. Sunbathing is still my jam. So relaxed…
5:00 PM: I saw a yoga class in the villa. And tried it. I have a lot to learn. I fell over so many times, I can't even count.
6:00 PM: Sunset at the Beach again. Drinking bintang with the sun. It's a good life.
7:00 PM: I am going to learn to surf.
8:00 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant. The food is cheap, and yummy, but I don't know what I order, and the portions are never small.
9:00 PM: The gecko has won. I may be hallucinating.
(Day 3-7: Mostly a blur of waves, beach, sunsets, and increasingly questionable decisions)
The Surf Saga: I'm getting marginally better at surfing. Still fall. A lot. But the feeling of catching a wave… magic. The sting of salt in my nose? Not so much. Tried to get a surf lesson. It was a chaotic but hilarious experience. I'm now friends with the surf instructors.
The Food Frenzy: Ate everything. Balinese curries. Seafood BBQ. Endless fruit platters. One day, I ate something that definitely disagreed with me. Never been closer to my toilet.
The Sunset Addiction: Watched nearly every sunset. Each one is unique, beautiful, and a perfect excuse to drink another Bintang.
The Scooter Chronicles: Scraped my knee. Got lost. But also, saw the most stunning rice paddies, discovered hidden beaches, and felt ridiculously free.
The Gecko Endgame: The gecko and I have a silent understanding. We co-exist. He judges me from the ceiling, while I eat chips. Not perfect, but still a beautiful friendship.
Deep and meaningful conversations: Had a conversation with a local about the meaning of life. Realized I probably don't know the meaning of life. But it's okay, because Bali is already a gift. Met a lot of amazing people who were kind and loving.
The emotional roller coaster: There's moments where I feel pure joy. And there's the moments where the weight of everything is unbearable. This place is hard to explain.
(Departure Day: Sun-Kissed, Salty, and Slightly Sad)
I leave Bali, tanned, slightly haggard, and utterly in love. My suitcase is full of sand and questionable souvenirs. My heart is full of memories. So much to love about Bali.
Final Thoughts:
This wasn't a perfect trip, but it was perfect for me. Bali is messy, loud, and often challenging, but it's also beautiful, welcoming, and full of magic. I'll be back. And next time, I'll pack even more sunscreen. And maybe earplugs for that damn rooster. Maybe.
