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.
