Sanur Beach is a former fishing village that still has a relaxed coastal ambience. It’s on the eastern side of the island's isthmus and is the opposite of Kuta, both in location and characteristics. It has managed to cling on to its charm and a wealth of arts and culture, making it a great place to enjoy both classic and contemporary attractions.

Sanur was the first area of Bali to be developed for tourism and contains some of the islands first hotels and beachfront retreats, together with an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops and bars. It’s not a place that lives in the past, though, as you’ll also find an assortment of innovative and modern entertainment venues.
