The Tugu is a 5-star hotel with attentive staff, fine linens, and best of all, a flood of art and antiques that made the place entirely unique and special. Among other things, an entire temple had been saved from destruction and moved, piece by piece, to become one of the central rooms in the restaurant.
After the relatively basic living aboard the boat, it was a refreshing change to stay at the Tugu Hotel Bali…
The owner of the Tugu chain is a collector of Asian art, and uses his hotels and restaurants as museums — filling them with fascinating objects from all over the world.
One expects fine things at any resort hotel of this caliber, but as always, it’s the details that make a stay truly unique. Having a bath strewn with flowers, for instance. Or a lovely welcome massage.
The Tugu Bali, set on the west, in Canggu, is popular with surfers too, who can get to a great break that’s literally steps away from the hotel. An expansive restaurant and sushi bar graces most of the second story, allowing for ocean views while you eat your meal.
