8 min readDon’t let bad weather put a damper on your trip to Bali. You might be tempted to stay inside watching Netflix in bed, but there’s so many reasons to get up and to enjoy Canggu when it’s raining.
Make the most of your vacation with our top five ways to spend a rainy day in Canggu.
1. Indulge your senses at Goldust spa
How could we start this list with any other than Goldust. Step into our inviting, luxurious spa and feel the waves of peacefulness wash through you, providing true solace from the dampness of the day. Let the rain fall outside, watching the droplets ripple on the surface of our turquoise pool as you receive an indulgent massage and a warming ginger tea in the comfort of our poolside lounge.
Or disappear entirely into one of our private suites, leaving the wet weather behind for a few hours as you are taken on a tantalising journey of relaxation. With luscious greenery and all the decadence of a palace, Goldust is the perfect location to visit for a slice of tranquillity. Our treatments will leave you feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and shining even on the rainiest of days. Book an appointment , or if you’re nearby come and say hello, get directions.

2. Cozy cafes
Canggu is a haven for comfortable, cozy cafes. Hide away from the rain for a few hours with the pleasure of a good book, the company of great friends, or for a moment to spend alone. Head to Cocomo for a laid-back spot and enjoy their delicious smoothie bowls and fresh juices or simply grab a coffee and soak up the vibe.
Another one of Canggu’s top cafes is Kynd Community. With captivating aesthetics perfect for Instagram, delicious vegan food, and tasty coffee, this is a real local hotspot and the hours will slip by as you relax in their ambient environment. (Our recommendations - go for the Acai bowl for a supercharged breakfast, the Big Mac for Lunch and Buffalo Cauliflower wings for a plant-based dinner that will leave you satisfied)
One of our absolute favourite local spots is Milk & Madu, within walking distance of Goldust, this gorgeous location has it all. Incredible food, stunning views, all day arts & crafts, and even live music on special nights. The perfect place for a pick me up after your spa treatment, Milk & Madu is not to be missed.

3. Yoga & meditation classes
Continue your wellbeing experience with a serene journey into your consciousness under the expert guidance of meditation yogi’s. Discover a calmness within yourself, embrace your body's movements, and surrender to the process. Re-awaken through breathwork, yoga, and ritualistic healing practices.
For the best in the business, we recommend ADDA Yoga. They are professional, attentive, and keep their environment clean and enticing.
Make this the complete day of self-care, combine a yoga session with your spa treatment at Goldust and by bed-time you’ll be feeling truly relaxed, content, and healthy.

4. Museums and art exhibitions
Most people don’t think of museums or art galleries when they think of Bali, but in Canggu there are a number of amazing exhibitions to visit. Immerse yourself in a world of fascinating design at the Museum of Space, or discover local talent at Endless Sama Sama and Russ Gallery.
One of the best local spots is The Slow, a cafe/bar that hosts exhibitions of artists living in Bali. They change their displays every few weeks and the contemporary art is always breathtaking. It’s just a short walk away from Goldust so if you are feeling inspired after an uplifting facial, it’s well worth the quick trip to see some hidden gems.

5. Shopping
What better way to spend a rainy day than with indulgent self care at Goldust followed up by some retail therapy. There are plenty of shopping boutiques throughout Canggu, so you’ll be spoilt for choice. Discover beautiful jewellery, unique clothing, and locally crafted home decor all within walking distance from Goldust.
Any of these can be combined with a trip to Goldust to make the most of the day. A visit to the spa is a great way to decompress, unwind, and let go for an hour or two, leaving you calmer and more capable to continue on with your day.
