Sanur was the
location for the first beach resorts in Bali. The first international
hotels were built in the late 1960s. Today it is packed with various hotels and
restaurants to choose from to fit every budget. The 5kms of white sandy beach of Sanur is perfect for watching the sunrise.
Sanur lacks the nightlife like the loud bars and nightclubs that are found in Kuta so more a peaceful place for relaxing. There are still plenty of restaurant-bars to choose from so you do not have to travel out of Sanur. Many of these bars/restaurants over look the beach. Sanur is located 18kms, 25 minutes by taxi from Denpasar airport. There is a fixed price of 95,000Rp for the trip. Pernama Travel run shuttle buses from the airport to Sanur for 25,000Rp per person. www.peramatour.com
Sanur has a great selection of water sports to choose from. Sanur gets some good surf breaks between September and March. Other options are windsurfing, parasailing, water-skiing, jet skiing, kayaking as well as various fishing trips. Sanur is one of the last remaining brahman kuasa villages with some impressive processions with the colourful costumes, music and dancing. There are a number of nice hindu temples scattered throughout Sanur including Pura Blanjong, Pura Mertasari, Pura Buruan and Pura Dalam Semawang. In the south of Sanur is the Prasasti Blanjong which is the oldest stone inscription found on Bali. Dating to AD 913 it is now located within the temple at Blanjong village. The inscriptions on the stone tell of the Javanese King who settled in Sanur to begin the Mahayana Buddhist government though the text has diminished over the years.. For such a significant historical item it is tucked away down a lane way with just a small sign on the main road reading Pura Blanjong.
Museum Le Mayeur has been established in the house of Adrien Jean Le Mayeur de Merpes, a Belgian artist who resided in Bali until his death in 1958. Many of his paitings, carcoal and crayon sketches are on display. At the northern end of Sanur is the ferry ports with regular ferries to Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and the Serangan Island.
