Walking my dogs at Canggu Beach

I choose Canggu Beach to walk my dogs because the beach is the closest to my house and the most important is  it's quite, not busy and full of people sunbathing as in Seminyak, Legian or Kuta Beach.

Here my dogs can run as fast as they want. I know it's not good to let your dog running like that in a public beach but they really enjoy it and since I feel guilty not taking them for a walk everyday, therefore I just let them enjoy their freedom as long as they don't bother people.

Visitors at canggu beach are mostly surfer and they surf far in the middle of the sea, sometimes I really enjoy seeing them show off their talents in surfing. Some Japanese girl surfer ussually also love playing with my dogs too. "Kawaii, Kawaii! " they said. It's mean cute. I think they're cute too :-)

Here is some picture of my dogs enjoying their day at Canggu Beach

Balinese Style Hotel around Legian/Seminyak

There are many hotels now built around Legian and Seminyak, most of the new hotels are new modern building, although they look nice and minimalist, my all time favorite is still a Balinese style hotel which is now rarely found. Some Balinese style hotels are mostly the most expensive hotel. You should pay a huge amount of money when you want to experience Balinese Style hotel in Bali, like The Oberoi Bali that have a unique Balinese villa and Lanai, they also have a huge garden with lots of beautiful old trees.


Here I would like to share some Balinese Style Hotels around Legian and Seminyak that are not too expensive. I don’t know their exact rate so I checked their rate on Agoda.

• Puri Dewa Bharata

My boss in London who are about to come to Bali with her children once asked me to find hotel or villa near Seminyak’s busy street. The hotel should be quiet and Balinese style and not so expensive. So I surprise myself when I found this hotel. They have Balinese style villa, a cozy swimming pool and located not far from Jalan Raya Seminyak. The price is around USD 60++ per night and they have a huge open air living room area.

• Desa Muda Village

This also located at the main street of Seminyak, but they’re quiet. I used to swim in this villa every Saturday. They open their main pool for outside visitor but still sometimes only I was the only person using the pool, it’s nice and quiet. I guess nobody swim in the main pool because each villa already have their own swimming pool. The price is around USD 150 for one bedroom pool villa, they alo have 2 bedroom pool

• Hotel Villa Lumbung

I know this hotel only from review of our hotel guests that said the hotel is very nice Balinese Style. I saw it only from outside and they do look Balinese style. Price start from USD 100

• Taman Ayu Cottage

This is a small hotel but very nice and cheap. My friends stayed here before and I visit them and thought this is nice and quiet. They’re not too modern but room amenity is good for USD 40++ per night

• Putu Bali Villa

This is also a small nice villa style hotel. Price is about USD 70++/night. They have a small nice and green Balinese Garden. Great location not far from famous restaurants in Jalan Oberoi

So Other hotel Balinese Style I can’t found their rate is:

• Tony’s Villa
• Melasti hotels

Whenever I know other Balinese Style hotels I’ll update them here ^_^ Or if any of you have some suggestions? you're welcome to comment.
