Sanur

Sanur is located on the east coast of Bali, just 20 minutes north east of the International Airport, and offers a beach-side reality without the crowds.

Sanur makes an ideal place for your Bali holiday. Tourists especially love the white sandy beaches protected by coral reefs making swimming a whole lot safer than in busy Kuta.

One of the attractions of Sanur is water sports, including canoeing, surfing (outside Sanur Reef), windsurfing, snorkelling and scuba-diving are all based in Sanur.

Bali has hundreds of varieties of orchids and one place to view orchids is the Bali Orchid Garden in Sanur.

Just outside Sanur is the Mangroves Centre, well worth a visit. Stroll along the boardwalks and view the many bird species. You can either pay for a guide or take a leisurely walk yourself.

Eating out in Sanur is a culinary extravaganza. There are numerous restaurants in and around Sanur providing traditional Balinese cuisine which is ideal for Vegetarians and also those following a Gluten Free diet. Many quality restaurants provide tastes from around the World, from the curries of India to the pastas and pizzas of Italy, Chinese cuisine and the delicacies of Japan,caviar from Russia, Australian steaks and of course the traditional Sunday Roast.

Sanur Beach


Sanur beach is like a giant saltwater pool, only with a reef bed instead of a tiled bottom. Its warm 25° - 32° C temperature and calmer water makes the beach suitable for children and families. Adjacent to the beach, stands the Inna Beach Hotel – a war-compensation hotel built by the Government of Japan in 1963, next to the sacred Ratu Ayu Singgi temple where an eerie spirit is believed to reside. The hotel itself has experienced several accidental fires – some say caused by the fact that its 11 levels exceed the height of coconut trees, which according to Balinese Hinduism is the maximum permissible height.


Sindhu Beach


Sindhu beach may lose out in popularity contests to Kuta or Sanur beach, but the hibiscus-fringed sands still have a lot to offer visitors. Its wider sand bed and moderate winds makes it a perfect site to be sluggish or get sporty. Snorkelling, canoeing, and kite surfing are very popular among first timers, although loafing on an armchair is a far easier way to enjoy the surroundings.


Sunrise from this east-facing beach obviously can’t get much better but every full moon the beach becomes a popular spot for night gazers to witness a painting-like panorama of moonlight reflected on the translucent water surface, with Serangan Island silhouetted in the background. Simply magical!
