Sanur Beach Bali

Sanur Beach was the first area in Bali to have beach resorts developed. Sanur is still one of the best and most relaxing places for a holiday in Bali. For couples, singles or families Sanur is the place to come and relax. The ocean is flat out the front of Sanur, with no waves for surfing but there are plenty of watersports available including jetskis, snorkeling and wind surfing and kite surfing in the months of June through to September. There are loads of high end luxury beach resorts on the beachfront in Sanur, or plenty of cheap, budget accommodation in the back streets, just a few minutes walk to the beach.

Sanur has a stretch of 6km coastline which is lined with several beaches including Sanur Beach, Sindhu Beach, Cemara Beach, Segara Beach and Karang Beach.

Located 14.4Km from Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport, the drive takes just 25 minutes drive even with traffic which can be busy during the day.

Sitting on the East coast of Bali, Sanur Beach is one of the best places in Bali to watch the sunrises, and the sunrises can be spectacular!
