Sanur Located on the opposite side of Bali's southern peninsular from Kuta, Sanur offers a palm fringed white sandy beach and many fine hotels set around a pretty fishing village. Many regular visitors to Bali choose this location away from the hectic pace that surrounds Kuta, yet nearby to the facilities and attractions of the beautiful southern region.
There is a wide choice of fine restaurants offering selections ranging from traditional Balinese, Indonesian, Asian and Western cuisines.
Water sports, including snorkeling, surfing, windsurfing and swimming in Sanur's quiet waters are a specialty of this area. Many of the islands dive shops and tour groups also operate here, allowing the visitor to take the opportunity to mix fun and excitement, with some excursions to explore the scenic beauty that Bali is famous for.
Sanur is one of the main tourist resorts with International hotels. White sandy beaches and village shops, but lacking some of the feel that is experienced in other parts of Bali.
It is an ideal place to shop because afterwards you can cool off by taking a swim and even get a first class relaxing massage at the open air massage cent er right on the edge of the sands. Charming masseurs and very good value.
Some local noise and colour may be experienced in the evenings as the local gamelan (gong) orchestras practice, and the fishermen bring in their brightly painted outrigger canoes. Remarkably, Sanur is famous in Bali for its white and black magic. Several shaman and traditional practitioners live here.
