The Regent Bali Canggu has officially opened, marking the brand’s first property in Indonesia under IHG and debuting the world’s first Regent Spa.
Located on Bali’s south-west coast, the hotel, which began operations in February, features 150 rooms and suites and six dining venues. Two signature restaurants led by Michelin-starred chef Andrew Walsh are included: Sazón for Mediterranean cuisine and Cure for Asian cuisine, scheduled to open in early 2026. Other options include Taru for all-day Indonesian and international dishes, the Beach House, a pool bar and the Regent Lounge.
The Regent Spa, developed by IHG’s consultants Raison d’Etre, offers Balinese-inspired therapies across seven treatment rooms. A highlight is The Massage Revolution, performed on a warm quartz sand bed. The spa also includes hydro-wellness facilities with a vitality pool, cold ice baths and saunas.
General manager Manish Puri said the resort’s arrival in Canggu was timely, noting the area had evolved beyond its surf spot reputation. He described Canggu as increasingly vibrant, with restaurants, nightlife and wellness facilities, and said feedback confirmed demand for a luxury hotel. He emphasised that wellness was now a necessity, making the spa central to the hotel experience.
“It’s not all about party but it’s also about wellness and a little bit of spiritual, a little bit of taking care of mind, body and soul,” he said.
The resort targets affluent travellers, including honeymooners and families, and is developing multi-generational programmes and a Regent Kids club to cater to peak seasons such as Chinese Golden Week and Australian holidays.
Puri highlighted the resort’s focus on special events, observing a trend of guests celebrating milestones with friends and family. He said Bali’s hospitality made it an ideal setting for memorable occasions, and the hotel had already hosted several intimate weddings. Cure will continue the celebration theme with private dining rooms for groups of 20 to 100 people.
To address a market gap, the resort is building a flexible ballroom and event space, expected to open in early 2026. As the area’s first large dedicated meeting venue, Puri commented that the space will be “designed to host exhibitions, performances, theatre, and other creative events inspired by the culture of Canggu”.
