When you come to Bali and stay in Canggu specifically, Canggu is no ordinary place. It’s a lifestyle that people can easily call home, whether you’re here for a week or long-term. In Canggu, you have endless options to choose from, including surf sessions, world-class fitness studios, specialty coffee, and nourishing meals.
And here’s how to get the best Canggu experience in a day.
6:30 AM – Catch the Sunrise
One of the best ways to start your day here is by enjoying the majestic sunrise in Canggu or Pererenan. You can soak in the ocean water by taking up a sunrise surf session or simply walk along the beach with a coffee or coconut in hand. Canggu mornings are known to be more on the slower side. The streets are quieter, the air is cooler, and you’ll find everyone embracing the Canggu mornings.
8:00 AM – Fuel Up with a Healthy Breakfast
After a morning workout in the waters or at your favorite gym, it’s time to refuel.
It’s essential to have a balanced breakfast that gives you energy, rather than makes you sleepy. So, look for cafes that offer high-protein, healthy fats, fresh vegetables, and carbohydrates that will give you lasting energy throughout the morning.
Canggu has become a hot destination for healthy breakfasts as it offers an extensive range of fluffy scrambled eggs, smoothie bowls, protein waffles and pancakes, avocado toast, or freshly brewed coffee. The options are endless.
At Motion Cafe, our breakfast menu is built around wholesome ingredients, generous portions, and food that not only tastes great, but also makes you feel even better.
10:00 AM – Work, Explore or Unwind
Canggu also offers a great mix of productivity and relaxation. There’s an activity and place for everyone.
You’ll find a herd of digital nomads working from cafes and co-working spaces, creatives meeting over specialty coffee, entrepreneurs building businesses, and travellers planning their next destination.
If work isn’t part of your agenda, spend the morning exploring local shops, visiting nearby rice fields, or simply slow down with another coffee or coconut – Remember to stay hydrated!
12:30 PM – Choose a Lunch That Keeps You Moving
It’s always easier to grab something that is quick and heavy, but Bali afternoons are much better when you don’t feel weighed down and sluggish.
A high-protein salad, hearty bowl, or a wrap provides enough sustained energy without the post-lunch nap. The ultimate healthy lunches are not only colorful, but balanced with fresh ingredients and high protein that will leave you satisfied without feeling entirely full.
If you’ve got a busy day in front of you, from heading back to work, exploring Bali, or hitting the gym, then what you eat at lunch sets the tone for the rest of the day.
3:00 PM – Recharge Without the Sugar Crash
By the time most people hit the afternoon, they may want to grab another cup of coffee or something sweet.
Instead of a sugary treat or a highly caffeinated beverage, it’s better to consume something light such as a fresh smoothie, protein shake, or a light snack that provides sustainable energy.
Small and healthy choices throughout the day often make the biggest difference in how you feel by dinner.
5:00 PM – Move Your Body
In Asia, Canggu has become one of the trendiest fitness and wellness communities.
Canggu has something to offer for every fitness level, including CrossFit, Hyrox training, Pilates, strength training, yoga, running, and surfing.
The Canggu fitness community is welcoming, motivating, and one of the reasons why many people end up staying longer than expected.
Movement isn’t just about fitness. It is a part of everyday life in Bali.
7:00 PM – End the Day Well
After a busy and full day, your body and mind deserve and need another nourishing meal.
Fresh vegetables, high protein, and healthy fats help support recovery while allowing you to enjoy a nice dinner with family and friends.
Healthy eating isn’t just about saying no to great food. It’s about choosing the right meals that make you feel good after you’ve finished eating.
