Why We Recommend Chalina Estate
Finding a venue in Bali that can genuinely accommodate large groups is harder than you would think. Most large villas max out at 12-14 guests. Chalina Estate is the real deal - 8 bedrooms across a 2000 square metre compound that can comfortably sleep 16 and host events for up to 120 guests. If you are planning a wedding, reunion, or group retreat in Canggu, this should be on your shortlist.
What Sets It Apart
The Pererenan location puts you in one of Canggu's quieter pockets - close enough to Echo Beach and the cafe scene (1km), but set in proper rice field surroundings rather than a busy gang. The estate has been recently renovated with that polished Balinese aesthetic that photographs beautifully.
For events, the landscaped gardens and multiple pavilions give you genuine flexibility. We have seen weddings, yoga retreats, corporate offsites, and milestone birthday celebrations hosted here successfully. The layout means you can have ceremony and reception in different areas without feeling cramped.
Our Favourite Features
- Event capacity for 120 - one of the few Canggu properties that can genuinely host large celebrations
- 8 ensuite bedrooms - keeps the wedding party or retreat group all under one roof
- 2000m² of space - multiple living areas, gardens, and pool mean guests are not on top of each other
- Pererenan rice field setting - rural Bali atmosphere just minutes from Canggu's restaurants
- Recently renovated - contemporary Balinese design that looks great in photos
Good To Know
- Event fees apply: Hosting a wedding or large event incurs additional charges - ask for a quote
- Beach distance: 1km to Echo Beach - walkable but you will want transport with beach gear
- Minimum stay: Likely 3-5 nights depending on season, longer for event bookings
- Noise considerations: Events must wrap up by a reasonable hour - this is a residential area
Best For
Destination weddings, milestone celebrations (50th birthdays, anniversaries), yoga or wellness retreats, corporate offsites, and multi-family holidays. The price per person becomes very reasonable when you fill all 8 bedrooms.
