A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Sanur is recognized as a charming coastal town in Bali, providing visitors with a tranquil experience distinct from the bustling areas of Kuta and Seminyak. Families are particularly drawn to its peaceful ambiance and child-friendly beaches. While Sanur lacks powerful surf for wave enthusiasts, it excels as a destination for a relaxing beach holiday in Bali.
Sanur is known for being one of the most tranquil and family-friendly areas of Bali, Indonesia. However, it offers plenty of engaging activities for all visitors.
In Bali, food is art, and this is especially true with the fresh fruit Bali smoothie bowls. You can find them all over the place on the south panhandle of the island (especially in the Canggu/Seminyak area), and the prices can be very reasonable compared to acai bowls in western countries. Here are 15 of our top Bali smoothie bowl recommendations, grouped by location. Let us know if we missed any top ones!
Sanur Beach may not rank up there with Bali’s top beaches, but it does shine as one of the best sunrise spots on the island.
The Pura Uluwatu Temple is an iconic seaside pagoda that sits on a cliff, located in the far south corner of Uluwatu Bali. This 1,000-year-old Bali temple is one of the island’s most famous tourist sights due to its impressive cliffs, stunning sunset views, the traditional Balinese ‘Kecak’ fire dance, and the notoriously sneaky Uluwatu monkeys that like to hang out near the temple. Uluwatu Temple is easily accessible from Kuta, Canggu, Sanur, and other popular tourist areas in Bali. I would rate it as a must-do experience that is very memorable.

The Sanur rice fields feature a newly constructed walking path that is in excellent condition. Visitors can easily take a bicycle or scooter for a scenic ride through this beautiful landscape.
