Best Sanur Hotels for a Beach Holiday

If being close to the coast is your priority, check the exact location of your hotel before booking. Not every property described as a Sanur hotel is directly on the beach.

Griya Santrian is the standout choice in this selection for travelers who specifically want a traditional beachfront resort experience.

Is Sanur a Good Place to Stay in Bali?

Sanur is an excellent choice if you want a quieter coastal base with good restaurants, beaches and a more relaxed pace than Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu.

It is also particularly convenient for travelers planning trips to Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan because Sanur is one of the main departure areas for boats to the nearby islands.

If you are still comparing different parts of the island, read our Best Areas to Stay in Bali guide.

How Many Nights Should You Stay in Sanur?

Three to five nights is a good amount of time for most travelers. This gives you enough time to enjoy the beaches, restaurants and relaxed atmosphere while leaving room for a day trip.

Two nights can work if Sanur is simply a stop before or after visiting Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan. A longer stay makes sense if your main goal is relaxation.

Things to Do in Sanur

Once you have chosen your hotel, Sanur offers plenty of activities. You can explore the beachfront, cycle along the coast, visit local restaurants, watch the sunrise and use Sanur as a starting point for trips to nearby islands.
