Where to stay in Sanur
The laid-back east coast — a gentle beachfront boardwalk, sunrise over the water, and the easiest jump-off for the Nusa islands. Unhurried and family-friendly.
Sanur runs along a five-kilometre paved boardwalk on the east coast, and that is the single most useful fact about it: you can walk the whole strip, and the beach is reef-protected and flat. It faces east, so it takes sunrise rather than sunset, and the water is calm enough for children and for anyone who would rather not negotiate a shore break.
It suits families, older travellers, divers heading out to the Nusas, and anyone who values a genuinely walkable seafront over nightlife. It suits people looking for a scene considerably less, because Sanur goes quiet early and always has.
The fast boats to Lembongan and Penida leave from here, which makes it the practical base for island days without committing to staying on one.
