Villas for sale in Pererenan, north of Canggu.

What Pererenan is actually like.

Pererenan is north of Canggu across the river: beach access, a strip of its own, and the most built up of the areas north of Canggu.

It sits between Canggu to the south and Seseh to the north, with a black sand beach, rice field edges and much of what Canggu has, a little quieter.

Inland, Tumbak Bayuh and Buduk are more rural, with larger plots and rice fields, and Buduk is the furthest from the beach. Babakan, between Pererenan and Canggu, is part of Canggu village rather than Mengwi, which matters when you check which rules apply.

Compared with Seseh, it is busier and more built up, with more services close by. Compared with Berawa, on the Canggu side, it is quieter. Both comparisons come down to how much you want on your doorstep.

• Whether the plot sits inside the protected buffer from the river or the beach, where building is restricted
• Flood history. Heavy rain in September 2025 cut access roads across Badung
• The zoning colour: green for farming, yellow for housing but no daily letting, pink for tourism
• What is on the neighbouring plots, and whether anything is approved to be built on them
