Why We Recommend Desa Roro Estate

Desa Roro Estate combines two things that are hard to find together in Canggu: authentic Javanese Joglo architecture and genuine walkability to the beach and Finns Club. The estate comprises a 5-bedroom main villa and a 2-bedroom companion villa (Desa Roro Dua), giving you seven bedrooms for up to 14 guests at around US$129 per room per night in low season. Each bedroom occupies its own individual Joglo pavilion with teak furnishings and canopied king-size beds, creating a village-like feel rather than a single building. The Berawa location puts you a short walk from the sand and includes complimentary access to Finns Club facilities, which adds a gym, pools, and restaurants to your stay without additional cost. Add an on-site tennis court and two private swimming pools, and the estate offers more activity options than most properties at this price point.

Our Favourite Features

Complimentary access to Finns Club — adds world-class gym, pools, waterslides, restaurants, and social scene to your stay at no extra charge, a significant perk worth hundreds of dollars per week
Individual Joglo pavilion bedrooms with teak furnishings and canopied beds — sleeping in a traditional Javanese structure surrounded by tropical gardens feels authentically Balinese in a way that modern villas cannot replicate
On-site tennis court — unusual for a Canggu villa and a genuine draw for active guests who want more than just pool and beach
Two-villa format (5BR + 2BR) — the companion villa gives a sub-group or couple genuine independence while staying on the same estate
Walking distance to Berawa Beach — avoids the Canggu traffic problem entirely for beach visits, which is a major quality-of-life advantage

Good To Know

The Joglo pavilion design means bedrooms are separate structures in the garden — romantic and private, but involves walking outdoors between your room and the communal areas
Berawa is the southern end of Canggu, closer to Seminyak — quieter than the Echo Beach strip but busier than northern Canggu or Pererenan
Peak season at US$1,464 per night is 62% above the low season rate of US$905 — reasonable by Canggu standards, especially given the Finns Club access
The open-concept traditional architecture means some living spaces are semi-outdoor — lovely in dry season but rainy season visitors (November to March) should expect some weather disruption
The estate accommodates up to 14 guests across 7 bedrooms — for larger events, the Finns Club venue is nearby as a natural overflow option
