Pererenan, the Next Canggu — a Field Guide

North of Canggu proper: black-sand surf, rice paddies running to the road, and the restaurant row everyone moved to.

Editor at large

Pererenan is what Canggu was before it became Canggu. It sits a few minutes north, where the paved café strip gives way to rice paddies and a black-sand beach with a workable left.

For two years it has quietly absorbed the restaurants worth driving for, so you get the table without the traffic that comes with it. The villas here are newer, set among the fields, and longer on garden than the Berawa end.

We send guests to Pererenan when the brief is "Canggu, but calmer" — close enough to the beach clubs to dip in, far enough to sleep.

Pererenan is the quiet you came to Canggu for, fifteen minutes before Canggu finds it.

Tell us how long, who, and how close to the surf — the concierge will shortlist the houses that match.
