Regent Bali Canggu stands as a refined reimagining of modern luxury where thoughtful design, deep cultural reverence, and artisan excellence converge on the island’s coveted southwest coast. With a vision steeped in purpose and poise, the resort is crafted as a sanctuary that honours Bali’s spirit through a seamless blend of architecture, landscape, and storytelling.
Regent design philosophy
The Regent brand is all about the beauty of contrasts where discreet maximalism bridges the gradient between serenity and stimulation, revealed through a fresh approach on modern luxury.
The design narrative is conveyed through its brand colour, Celadon, used in Ancient Chinese pottery and enhanced by bold, jewel tones. Iconic architectural and design features will add a touch of elegance and sense of spectacular to each Regent hotel and are complemented by signature flourishes tailored to each distinctive location, including bespoke illustrations, each developed to tell a different hotel story.
Bespoke illustrations
The new Regent design philosophy comes to life with illustrations that depict each hotel’s take on the legendary icon of its location or the well-established legend of luck. Used on inside of envelopes or paper bags, and even on the inner lining of umbrellas, they will become part of our guests’ journey to discover a destination.
The illustration at Regent Bali Canggu is intertwined with the Bali Strait, which was formed to prevent Manik Angkeran from returning to Java. The Besakih Temple, the largest temple in Bali, is believed to be the original grounds of the dragon. The illustration by Saddo features symbols from the legend, including Manik Angkeran, the Besakih Dragon, Mount Agung, coconut trees, rice paddies, frangipani flowers, Bali Mynah birds, and the Canggu waves. This illustration will be used on various hotel materials.
Architectural and Interior
The resort was imagined as more than a place to stay—it was conceived as a living, breathing tribute to Bali’s natural and cultural rhythm. Every detail, from its architectural silhouette to its hand-carved textures, tells a story of place, legacy, and craftsmanship.
The master plan, envisioned by Wimberly, Allison, Tong, and Goo (WATG), draws inspiration from the layered simplicity of Balinese villages and rice terraces. Low-slung structures rise gently from the landscape, guiding the eye from the serene arrival pavilion towards the sea. This sacred visual axis, framed by a temple and grounded by ocean views, creates a quiet grandeur that feels both timeless and elemental.
Inside, Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) deliver a nuanced expression of contemporary Indonesian elegance. The interiors draw from a palette grounded in nature—earth tones, lush greens, and deep blues accented by vibrant hues, subtly echoing traditional batik, songket motifs, and Balinese iconography.
Landscaping
This balance continues through the surrounding landscape, designed by Bali-based tropical specialist John Pettigrew. With over three decades of experience on the island, Pettigrew’s approach is intuitive and respectfully minimal. He lets the land speak for itself, using native flora, gentle water features, and clean sightlines to soften built forms and create immersive calm.
“A landscape should elevate the experience, not overwhelm it,” John Pettigrew shares—a sentiment clearly reflected in the stillness and balance of Regent Bali Canggu’s gardens and walkways.
Materials and artistry
At every turn, artisanal touches elevate the resort beyond mere aesthetics. Guests are welcomed by a monumental Paras stone carving at the entrance, hand-chiselled over 30 days by Balinese craftsmen. Weighing more than five tonnes, the floral motif signals the level of artistry that defines the property.
Throughout the resort, ceramic accents by Kevala, led by Wendy Thomas, offer a tactile sense of place. Each handcrafted piece, shaped on the island, blends technical precision with tradition and sustainability. Even the bathtubs tell a story, where the mythical Barong is carved into the wood as a quiet guardian.
Design at Regent Bali Canggu is deeply symbolic, woven with layers of meaning that honour Balinese heritage. The sacred lotus (Padma) reimagined through architecture evokes spiritual purity, while songket textiles inspire the intricate patterns and textures throughout.
Indigenous hardwoods—Ulin, Bengkirai, Merbau, and Teak—were chosen for their strength and symbolism, linking craftsmanship and culture. Every surface and silhouette invites reflection on the soulful artistry that defines Bali’s spirit.
