Canggu is Bali's most social area and its most crowded. Cafes, surf and coworking within a short ride, at a price that is no longer cheap: a two-bedroom villa asks a median $1,905 a month. It suits people who want company and convenience, and frustrates anyone who came for quiet.

A Bali villa requires year-round, season-specific maintenance driven by two climate phases: monsoon (November–March) and dry season (April–October). The critical windows are pre-monsoon waterproofing in October–November, weekly mold monitoring during December–March, post-monsoon repairs in April, and AC servicing plus termite inspection during May–October. Following a structured calendar prevents the emergency repair bills that tropical neglect causes.
