Field notes

The Bukit has fully overflowed from Canggu's congestion since 2023 — Bingin, Padang Padang, and Pecatu are the new nomad anchors, and rents have closed most of the gap with Canggu. The E33G remote-worker visa applies the same way as elsewhere in Bali. Surf is the structural draw — the Uluwatu reef cluster is one of the world's best, and it's why people commit to the scooter-only access and limited grocery infrastructure.

Bukit Peninsula sits slightly drier than Canggu — the limestone cliff geography catches fewer afternoon storms. Dry season (May–September) is the structural draw and aligns with the Indian Ocean dry-season swell. Wet season (November–March) is genuinely wet but rarely cold. Humidity stays high year-round (75–82%).
