Best Private Pool Villas in Canggu

Desa Hay Canggu is adults-only, so I cannot recommend it to families travelling with children, despite its other qualities. For parents taking a break on their own, it is exceptional: private pool villas set in lush gardens, an infinity pool, a romantic restaurant and wellness and yoga facilities. A 9.9 score from 244 reviews is close to perfect. Families with children should look at other Canggu hotels.

Two Thirds Villa Canggu offers private pool villas with a garden, a terrace and a year-round outdoor pool. Private check-in, free WiFi and daily housekeeping are included, and family rooms are available. It is described as a base for surfing and exploring Canggu. Its distance of 8 km from Petitenget Temple means it is not in the middle of the busiest area. A 9.5 rating from only 13 reviews is promising, not proven.

Sanata Luxury Villa is a five-star property in Canggu built around private pool villas, with a sun terrace and a lush garden. There is also an outdoor swimming pool open all year and a hot tub. Rooms have air-conditioning, free WiFi and private balconies, and the 24-hour front desk and concierge service handle the practical side. The listing points to luxury, surf and wellness stays. A 9.5 rating from 532 reviews is outstanding.

Munno Villa in Canggu has family rooms with air-conditioning, private balconies, kitchenettes and free WiFi. The sun terrace, lush garden and year-round outdoor pool are shared, and there is a hot tub, an outdoor seating area and free private parking on site. Breakfast, continental or à la carte, is served daily. A 9.4 rating from 84 reviews is excellent, on a small sample.

The Prime Canggu Bali is a collection of comfortable private pool villas, which gives a family its own water and its own space. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, streaming services and free WiFi.

A 9.2 rating from 753 reviews is strong.

Inori Villas works well for families or two households travelling together. Each apartment has two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a terrace and a balcony, so everyone has space and meals are easy to manage. The outdoor pool is open all year and has a view, while parents can use the fitness centre and sauna. No kids' club is listed, but the 9.2 score across 60 reviews is reassuring.

Lokale Pererenan Resort Hotels & Villa can work for families thanks to the kitchen in every room, which makes breakfasts and children's meals easy. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and a terrace or patio, and the swimming pool has a view. The restaurant serves halal Asian and international dishes for lunch and dinner, and there is a bar. No kids' club or playground is listed, so plan outings around Pererenan. The 8.9 score across 20 reviews is promising.

This modern one-bedroom loft sits less than 1 km from Echo Beach in Canggu, with a shared Art Deco style pool and a fully equipped kitchen. With a single bedroom, it suits a couple with a baby or one young child better than a larger family. The kitchen makes meals and bottles easy, and the pool gives children somewhere to swim between beach trips. Rooms are air-conditioned. It scores 8 from a single review, so I treat that score with caution.
