Bali is a breathtaking place with its beautiful crystal blue oceans, tall green palm trees, and pristine white sand surrounded by mesmerizing jungles. With so much to see and do, you don't want to miss any of Bali's top attractions. However, with so much to see, it's important to narrow down your list so you can fully enjoy the experience without worrying about missing out on anything.
Before other areas in Bali such as Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Ubud, and Uluwatu became well-known travel destinations, Sanur was the starting point of Bali's tourism boom. This coastal town, located in southeast Bali and stretching 8 km along the beach, was the first gateway to introduce the world to the paradise of Bali and turned it into a highly sought after travel destination by travelers from all over the world.
Sanur is known for its peaceful and quiet atmosphere, making it a popular choice for families with children and older expats who appreciate the tranquil lifestyle of the fishing village. Sanur is also recognized for its breathtaking sunrises, dubbed as "Morning of the World", and is the best place on the island to watch the sunrise along the coastline from Matahari Terbit Beach to Mertasari Beach.
Today, Sanur has a slower pace of life compared to more busy areas like Seminyak or Canggu and does not attract as many young travelers who prefer the western part of the island for its nightlife. However, in the past, Sanur was the hotspot of the island, attracting European artists and Hollywood celebrities seeking a taste of paradise.
For those who are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, Sanur is the perfect spot. Start your day by watching the stunning Sanur sunrise, which showcases breathtaking colors in the sky. Then, take a leisurely walk along the Sanur boardwalk, soak up the sun on one of the gorgeous beaches, or try out windsurfing or jet skiing in the water. In the evening, be sure to visit the Sanur Night Market where you can sample authentic local cuisine. Sanur will leave you feeling calm and rejuvenated, making you never want to leave.
Sanur is a popular tourist destination known for its clear and warm lagoons, protected by a line of offshore reefs. The area is ideal for water sports such as swimming, snorkeling, and surfing, with some of the best waves in the world found in the right conditions. Nusa Lembongan, located near Sanur, is a great place to dive and explore the underwater world. Sanur is home to several historic hotels and a variety of restaurants and cafes.
The beachfront cycle-path offers a scenic bike ride, and there are plenty of water sports available, including kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, surfing, and paragliding. For a unique experience, visitors can try the Sea Walker, an underwater adventure that allows observation of the sea to a depth of 15 feet without getting wet.
