about the location

Sanur is located on Bali’s south eastern coast twenty minutes from the international airport. It can claim to be one of the best located and most accessible of all of Bali’s tourist destinations. The village is a 20 minute drive from Kuta and Seminyak, 40 minutes from Ubud and 15 minutes from the island’s capital city of Denpasar.

Sanur village was Bali’s first tourist destination. It has been attracting visitors since the beginning of the twentieth century. Sanur’s 7 kilometre beach offers the safest swimming on the island.

Surrounded by a barrier reef the beach nestles in a tidal lagoon that creates the perfect environment for every kind of water sport. The beach is lined in places with the local fishing out-rigger canoes and dotted with businesses offering every conceivable water activity including snorkelling, water skiing, jet skiing, scuba diving, inflatable banana boats, parasailing, kite surfing, wind surfing, surfing and bogey boarding, fishing, hobby cats, glass bottomed boat and ‘Seawalker’.

However, although the latest water-sport craze is always quick to be introduced it is Sanur’s cultural significance that first drew visitors to its sleepy shores. It is one of the only villages still run by the Brahma priestly caste. It is not unusual to be walking down the main shopping street to find a temple ceremony with over one hundred Balinese dressed in their temple clothes, with offerings to the gods piled high on their heads to come marching past in the other direction.

Sanur has a special place in the Balinese dance and music culture and there are nightly performances dotted around the village venues.

Sanur offers a combination of modern and traditional that blends seamlessly like no other place on the island. This is the perfect location for families with children seeking a quiet and exclusive retreat where the Balinese tradition of politeness, hospitality and joy of life is in evidence everywhere.
