Sanur Beach is a former fishing village on the eastern side of the island's isthmus and comes to striking contrast with vibrant Kuta, both in location and characteristics. It displays a charming character and a wealth of arts and culture, which makes it an optimum choice to enjoy both classic and contemporary attractions. Sanur was the first area of Bali to be developed for tourism, and it includes a great variety of restaurants, shops and bars.
Sanur is close to the main city of Denpasar and also close to vibrant Kuta, just a 30-minute drive, which is the party-centric choice of Bali and which visitors choose for surfing in the Indian Ocean. It is also close to the famous Nusa Dua (1-hour drive) renowned for its breathtaking sandy beaches. Sanur is approximately 20 minutes from the International airport of Ngurah Rai and it can serve as a base to visit other places such as Ubud, a 45 minutes drive, Canggu, a 1.5 hours drive and Amed, a 3 hours drive.
Sanur is one of the best places on the island to enjoy magical sunrises. Orange and pink colorings of the sky create a romantic atmosphere that will enchant its visitors. A trip along the charming beachfront is definitely a must-do while being in Sanur. As expected Sanur offers a wide range of water sports for younger and older active crowds to have fun! The Sanur Night Market is one of the best local food markets in Bali to eat at and try traditional Balinese cuisine. For some culture, visit Museum Le Mayeur which contains works of the homonymous artist and traditional Balinese art and local artifacts.
