IHG’s Regent brand has expanded its portfolio with the opening of Regent Bali Canggu.
Nestled on the shores of Canggu Beach on Bali’s southwestern coast, the resort marks the first Regent Hotels & Resorts opening in Indonesia since IHG Hotels & Resorts’ acquisition of the brand in 2018.
Regent Bali Canggu comprises 150 suites and villas, many offering sea or garden views and direct lagoon access. Studio Suites, beginning from 818ft², include oasis bathrooms, complete with hand-carved teak bathtubs and rain showers.
A fresh interpretation of the Balinese tropical experience, WATG has designed the 14-acre resort to harmonise with Bali’s geography and cultural heritage. The use of timber and andesite stone across the low-rise development pays homage to Bali’s abundant resources, leaving a lasting impression of Balinese architectural significance by blending the island’s rich charm with modern luxury.
Interior design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates has crafted the resort’s aesthetic with vibrant colours, textiles and intricate craftsmanship, with interiors celebrating Indonesia’s diversity through the integration of batik and Balinese imagery and a curated colour palette that reflects the ethereal beauty of the island.
The property also features illustrations that capture the essence of the location – artwork is inspired by The Legend of The Bali Strait, intertwined with the Besakih Temple on the slopes of Mount Agung. Created by Romanian artist Saddo, the pieces feature symbols such as Manik Angkeran, the Besukih Dragon and the Canggu waves.
Landscape architect John Pettigrew has harmonised the resort’s architecture with its natural surroundings, using local plants and reclaimed materials to create gardens that soften the building’s geometric lines.
Regent Bali Canggu features five distinctive dining venues, including signature restaurant Taru, Spanish hideaway Sazón, and modern European venue Cure, set to open later in 2025. “Sazón and Cure are very close to my heart and hospitality ambitions,” says Chef Andrew Walsh. “Our Spanish neighbourhood tapas bar and grill, Sazón, draws inspiration from the lively streets of Barcelona, reimagined with the vibrant spirit and boundless energy of Canggu. Cure, opening later this year on the beachfront, will present my signature refined modern European cuisine infused with influences from my journey through Asia. Rooted in the Latin meaning of ‘to take care’, Cure embodies life’s finest pleasures: exceptional food, wine, culture and tradition.”
The property is home to the first Regent-branded spa, developed in partnership with Raison d’Etre, and set to open in late 2025. The spa comprises seven restorative treatment rooms, including a couple’s suite, sauna and plunge pool. Additionally, a dedicated Beauty Hub will offer a range of services, while the Health Club will be complete with a mat-based studio and a Technogym-equipped gym. The property also features nine pools, each accompanied by private cabanas.
Finally, Regent Club, a full-service lounge, will provide an elevated guest experience for select one-bedroom suites, villas and two-bedroom penthouses.
Manish Puri, General Manager of Regent Bali Canggu, comments: “What a great opportunity it is for us to reintroduce Regent to Indonesia! With a 50-year legacy of innovation, extraordinary views, landmark destinations and exceptional service, the Regent brand has returned to reimagine luxury here in Canggu.”
