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.
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.
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.
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 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, the world-renowned Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) delivers a nuanced expression of contemporary Indonesian elegance. The interiors draw from a palette grounded in nature that defines earth tones, lush greens, and deep blues accented by vibrant hues, subtly echoing traditional batik, songket motifs, and Balinese iconography. The result is a space that feels both rooted and refined, reflecting the resort’s deep commitment to craftsmanship and context.
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. Each handcrafted piece, shaped on the island, blends technical precision with tradition and a commitment to sustainability. Even the bathtubs tell a story, where the mythical Barong, a protective figure in Balinese culture, is carved into the wood as a quiet guardian.
Design at Regent Bali Canggu is not merely ornamental, it is deeply symbolic, woven with layers of meaning that honour Balinese heritage in every form and finish. The sacred lotus, or Padma, reimagined through architectural expressions, evokes the spiritual purity of the Padmasana throne, offering both a visual and philosophical anchor throughout the resort. Songket textiles, once reserved for sacred rituals and royal ceremonies, inspire the intricate patterns and textures found in the interiors—each thread a tribute to tradition, ceremony, and cultural pride.
The material palette further deepens this connection to place. Indigenous hardwoods such as Ulin, Bengkirai, Merbau, and Teak were chosen not only for their enduring strength and natural beauty, but for the stories they carry, stories of resilience, craftsmanship, and the elemental ties between land and legacy. In every surface and silhouette, the resort extends an invitation to pause, to feel, and to reflect on the soulful artistry that defines the spirit of Bali. [sources/photo special]
