Villa Waringin — beachfront wedding venue in Canggu, Indonesia

The estate

A place to begin everything.

Villa Waringin stands on the sand at Canggu, on Bali's west-facing coast, and takes weddings of up to sixty guests. The hire is exclusive: the villa and its grounds belong to one party for the day, house, pool and the shoreline in front of them included. Sixty is a number that keeps a wedding in a single conversation, with nobody stranded at the far end of a marquee. A bridal preparation suite sits inside the house, so the morning stays on the property instead of moving between addresses. The ceremony can be set facing the water with the Canggu surf behind the vows, and the afternoon follows the light west, guests moving between the pool, the sand and the shaded corners of the villa as it goes. The house is the venue and the accommodation at once, which gives the day the pace of a stay rather than a booking. Exclusive use is quoted from IDR 80,700,875. Catering, styling, furniture, lighting and sound are separate costs, priced against the plan for the day rather than folded into the villa fee. Villa Waringin suits couples after a small, well-dressed celebration on the coast without the machinery of a larger venue: one house, one shoreline, sixty people.
