Sanur was a quiet fishing village and one of the places favoured by Western artists during their pre-war discovery of the island. Sanur stretches for about 3 km along an east-facing coastline, with landscaped grounds and restaurants of boutique hotels fronting right onto the beach. Without the noise and confusion of Kuta this delightful village has much to offer and is a perfect location for a relaxed vacation. It also hosts an active artistic and entrepreneurial business community.
