Sanur stretches for about 5 km along an eastern-facing coastline, with the landscpae ground and restaurant of expensive hotels fronting right onto beach. West of the beachfront hotels is the main drag, Jl Danau Tamblingan. It runs roughly parallel to the beach, with the hotel entrances on one side and wall to wall tourist shop and restaurant on other side
The village of Sanur located on the eastern coast of Bali is the ideal beach for snorkeling as it is protected by a coral reef. Sanur is Bali's first beach resort, it is also Bali's largest traditional village. It is a place of remarkable contrasts: a golden mile of gorgeous hotels that attract millions of paradise seekers every year, and yet, within the very grounds of the 11-storey Grand Bali Beach, a war reparation gift from the Japanese, nestles the sacred and special temple of Ratu Ayu of Singgi, the much feared spirit of Sanur's fabled Black Barong.
Nevertheless village life goes on and visitors can really experience the real Bali. Choose between Balinese or Western style accommodation, both with all the comforts of home. There are also many excellent open air restaurants and cafes offering every variety of food imaginable. The life style here is far different from Kuta and Legian with the accent on relaxation!
