RECOMMENDATIONS
Welcome to THE WĀVE BALI villas!
We compiled a list of places to make your 'everyday life’ with us in Canggu as easy and enjoyable as possible – from where to get great coffee just a few footsteps from our villa, how to find a supermarket, where to get cash, etc.
“GoJek” (it's like Uber) – the MUST-HAVE app while in Bali! Download the app and the island will be at your fingertips for transport & restaurant deliveries to your doorstep. Besides car rides, you can opt for a scooter pick-up in the app for a quicker commute, especially in heavy traffic. We recommend selecting 'GoRide Comfort' for a more spacious scooter experience.
Getting a local sim-card, the easiest place to get it is directly at the airport upon arrival. Best provider:"Telkomsel" (red white logo) as they provide the best network.
Scooter: Bali is known for its scooter environment. While you can rely on personal drivers and GoJek taxis, we highly recommend renting your own scooter to fully experience the island in a personalized way. If you need help with renting a scooter our staff will be happy to organize it for you.
