On my third visit to Bali, I found myself falling in love all over again with a stunning villa nestled in Canggu. This architectural gem blends clean white walls with a serene blue pool, warm wooden floors that exude comfort, and luxurious marble surfaces that elevate the space to pure elegance. Sheer white curtains dance softly in the breeze, while lush tropical plants bring the outdoors inside, creating an oasis of tranquility.

Even just standing there and snapping a random photo feels like capturing a masterpiece.

🏡 Makali Temple Village
📍Pererenan, Canggu

Makali is perched right in the heart of Pererenan, one of Canggu’s most exciting up-and-coming areas (I’ll be writing a separate piece on why this neighborhood deserves your attention). If you’re looking for a laid-back yet stylish retreat with trendy vibes, this spot is perfect for a few days of relaxation.

Just a short stroll away, you’ll find charming cafes, gourmet restaurants, rejuvenating spas, state-of-the-art gyms, chic hair salons, and more—all highly recommended by locals and travelers alike. The quality here speaks for itself, and the streets are cleaner and more peaceful compared to Canggu’s bustling central hub.

Plus, it’s only a stone’s throw from Labrisa Beach, where the ocean whispers its secrets at sunset.

The check-in experience at Makali sets it apart as one of the most professional and brand-conscious villas I’ve encountered in Bali. A detailed manual greets you upon arrival, introducing not only the premium bedding brands but also the thoughtfully curated bath amenities and the villa’s commitment to sustainability.

No matter how late you return at night, attentive staff are always on hand, and communication with your personal butler happens seamlessly through WhatsApp—a touch that feels both modern and considerate.

We opted for the one-bedroom option, which cost us 2.7k for two nights, but they also offer two- and three-bedroom configurations, each boasting unique styles while maintaining their signature beauty. Every essential amenity is provided, but what truly stood out were the little luxuries: the BOSS speaker delivered impeccable sound quality, perfect for setting the mood, and the beach towels were not only high-quality but also stylish enough to double as accessories during our coastal adventures.
