Catering for the more up market traveler, you won't find any budget hotels in the Sanur area. Sanur hotels start from the mid range and go up from there. The mid range hotels still offer an glorious in house service and great rooms. The further you travel from Kuta the more up market the resorts become and Sunar is known for it's quite relaxed atmosphere without the noisy crowds associated with the more budget hotel resorts.
What can you expect when staying in Sanur hotels? The mid range hotels and villas will be offering you what you may expect from a 3 or 4 star hotel in a developed country. All rooms would be air conditioned, with 24 hour room service. There would be a restaurant which has a massive range of dishes on offer, at least one international bar and lounge that you can relax in during the day or in the evening. There may be other entertainment and activities available at the hotel, if not then they may definitely supply you with everything you want to enjoy these outside the hotel. All arrangements would be made for you including transport to and from your chosen destination or leisure activity.
The top tier Sanur hotels would have everything catered for you in house so you would not have to travel to enjoy the activities that Sanur has to offer unless you're going on a Bali shopping trip. With Sanur being an up market area, both the villas and hotels in Sanur that are situated on the beachfront may offer personal beaches for the guests. The top Sanur villas are bound to have this option. The leisure activities like scuba diving, surfing, canoeing and windsurfing should be available from these hotels with personalized tutoring provided if needed.
That is why leisure activities are superb for families that have kids, the beaches are safe for swimming and other water activities, and there is no worry about unruly inebriated groups disturbing your small piece of paradise. As usual you pay for what you get and paying extra to stay in one of the Sanur hotels is easily worth it to get away from the maddening crowds.
Sanur beach is found along the east coast of Bali not more that 25 minutes from Bali international airport. This Balinese beach resort has developed slowly over time, but has become very fashionable for travelers ranging from mid price range all the way up to your luxury international villas and resorts. As with the remainder of the Balinese people on the east coast you'll be welcomed by friendly people looking to make your stay an agreeable one. There is a long stretch of natural reefs running along Sunar beach that produces some of the best waves in the world when the conditions are good. Surfing at low tide could be a bit dangerous for the inexperienced due to the many rocks.
Except for all the water sports available, Sanur's geographical location along the east coast gives you easy access to explore the rest of the island. Staying at one of the Bali hotels in Sanur makes traveling to places like Ubud way easier. Travelling a little way up the east coast you may leave behind the tourist resorts and come across small fishing villages that are so much part of Balinese life. The local fishermen are very pleased to take you out on one of their boats for a little fee. The boats may not look very safe to your standards, but as long as it is a clear calm day you'll be really safe going out with these experienced fishermen. It is actually very interesting to see how they catch the fish without all the modern technology that we are used to.
