Berawa/Canggu was once a quiet village not that long ago. The locals are very happy sharing with the tourists but please be mindful and respectful of their customs and traditions. You may see cows in the middle of the road, roosters are a common household pet, dogs roaming around and plenty of local ceremonies which are always worth stopping for and watching the colourful parade if you're lucky enough to see one. The Balinese people are very friendly and enjoy the tourists coming to their beautiful island. You can always expect a smile and greeting most of the time.

A free shuttle bus service is available on a 20 minute loop with stops at popular destinations like Milk & Madu, Finns Rec Club and Finns Beach Club. The closest stop is G3 at the front of Secana which is the hotel 50 metres away from the villa.
