Sanur Bali Hotels; from big beach resorts to locally owned...

Most of the Sanur Bali hotels are classy bungalows set between trees with colorful flowers, statues and verandas and this style has been copied throughout the rest of Bali.

Sanur is the first tourist resort village on the island and today it's very popular among older European travellers and this explains the clean, quiet streets and the relaxed atmosphere.

Here are the most popular Sanur Bali Hotels that I’ve come across on my travels...

Puri Santrian:
This hotel is one of the Sanur Bali hotels which is Balinese owned and operated.

It's in a class of its own with flowers on every statue, well-designed park, private pavilions on the water and a classy restaurant with a great atmosphere right on the beach. From all the Sanur resorts, this is probably my favorite.

This is also the place to try out the Seawalker...(around US$86-US$105 per night)

Bali Hyatt:
This hotel in Sanur Bali is a great option if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay with beautiful swimming pools and a gorgeous private beach.

Budget Accommodation in Sanur Bali

Even though Sanur Bali is a place mainly popular with older European travellers and package tourists who love to stay in luxury Sanur Bali hotels, it still has some good budget hostels to choose from.

They are often located on the side streets of Jalan Tambligan in the residential areas and offer more value for money than the budget Bali accommodations in Legian or Kuta beach.
