After you’re done with perfecting downward dog, you might need something more upbeat. Enter in Laughing Buddha Bar. Halfway up from the Monkey Forest, you’ll find one of the liveliest spots in the area. Live bands play a mix of jazz, blues, rock, and ethnic music with the occasional salsa night. Order from their “Buddhalicious” line of signature cocktails or if you if you prefer, opt for a virgin icy cold juice.

CanSurfers and skaters know that Canggu is a phenomenal place to hang 10. The eight-mile stretch that makes up this fairly underdeveloped area is one of Bali’s surf meccas for wave catchers of all levels.
There are a handful of surfing schools here, including Surfcamp Bali at the Raja Ombak Surfers Resort. The camp is one of many in the area offering lessons to aspiring athletes or pros. It’s surrounded by the best surf spots, including River-Mouth, The-Stairs, Sandbanks, and Echo-Beach.

Nightlife around these parts is low key compared to nearby Seminyak but luckily Aussie-owned Old Man’s Bar is for a surf break, lunchtime provisions, and evening entertainment. The drink list might be basic but it has all the essentials, and its happy hour at sunset is divine. Activities like table tennis make it feel like a rec room at summer camp (“This one time at surf camp…”). Live bands play on Fridays and a DJ spins on Sundays.
