Sanur is such a great all-round place to stay in Bali.
26 September 2024
Sanur is such a great all-round place to stay in Bali. The beachfront promenade is definitely the place to hangout with all the restaurants and shops along it's 5km length. Great for older travelers as well as families, not so much for younger people looking for beach clubs and nightclubs but they are well catered for in Seminyak and Canngu.
Considerably less crowded that Seminya, Kuta and Ubud.

Considerably less crowded that Seminya, Kuta and Ubud. Sanur still has all of the amenities you need (including really good coffee) without the same hassle. Like everywhere, be careful of back street money changers, but Sanur offers everything you need.

The locals call it sleepy sanur because there is not much night life. By Balinese standards the traffic is light. There are lots of restaurants along the beach and the main road. We go here for a quiet relaxing holiday. If you want a quiet place this is the place to be as it is only 30 minutes from the airport. It doesn't take long to get to the activities that people like to do for tourism. It is a lot closer to the good region than is Kuta etc.
Sanur was the best town for me to visit with an 8year old.

Sanur was the best town for me to visit with an 8year old. Not nearly as congested as the rest of Bali with good eating, swimming and sightseeing activities. Its NOT dirty and full of litter as a lot of reviews suggest - but then again - if you want 5 star instagram holiday - go to the rest of Bali and live in the virtual world - Sanur is REAL.....Thank you
Sanur is one of the original old settlements.
10 September 2024
Sanur is one of the original old settlements. Really interesting area with lots of various things to see and many various places to eat, relax and refresh. Main St offers shade in both morning and later afternoon, so there is sun protection for sight seers / window shoppers. Doctors and pharmacies available if needs must. Lots of choices for shopping. Bartering still available in most shops, so give it a go. The seaside corniche / promenade is a wide path accommodating both bikes and pedestrians can stroll, taking their time to enjoy the ambiance of the seaside spots. Fabulous - it just feels so exotic - the balinese people are so lovely and you truely have the feeling of being away from your usual grind. Looking forward to returning already!
Sanur used to be a place for relaxing.
8 September 2024
Sanur used to be a place for relaxing. Unfortunately it is now full of people. The music on the beach is not there. The atmosphere has gone and the ladies in the beach and stalls are rude and pushy. Locking you in shops till you buy something or following you on walks and grabbing you.
