Location
Attracting artisans and holiday makers since the
early 1930's, Sanur remains the chosen destination for
wellheeled travellers as well as many expatriate residents
and consuls. Long appreciated for its seven kilometre
protected white sand beach and laid back ambiance, the
village offers every conceivable type of water sport
in the safe confines of a protected lagoon shielded
from the Indian Ocean's swells. Unlike other tourist
destinations in Bali, village residents have had many
years to slowly integrate tourism into their way of
life allowing traditional village life to co?exist with
tourist activities. Holding a special place in Balinese
culture, the village of Sanur offers visitors a tantalising
glimpse into Bali's famous culture without straying
far from some of Bali's best loved restaurants and interesting
retail outlets. Rise early to catch the fishing fleet
set sail from the beach as the sun rises on the horizon,
wander along the shaded promenade to sit with the locals
and sip a cooling fresh fruit juice, take a massage
on the beach under the fronds of the coconut palms,
visit one of the many spas or join in one of the ceremonies
that occur almost daily in the village's holy temples
just a short walk from the villa. The options are endless.
Many Sanur visitors find they rarely leave the environs
of the village. However, Sanur is only a 15 minute drive
from the airport, 30 minutes from the vibrant arts and
crafts village of Ubud and 20 minutes and a million
miles from the nightlife of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak.
