Sanur - Sunrise Paradise

romantic sunrise in Sanur Bali
Sunrise in Sanur
Sanur is another magnificent place in Bali, only about 6 km from Denpasar this place is easily to reach.
Sanur beach well known for it's beautiful "Sunrise" which is opposite of Kuta that known for it "Sunset". In general terms, Sanur is more expensive destination than Kuta but cheaper than Seminyak. This place more recommended for middle-aged or older families.
Sanur originates from to words "Saha" and "Nuhur" which literally means a passion to visit a certain place , it was on a beach of Sanur the Netherlad troops set the first foot on Bali in 1906 to attack Balinese People this war known as Badung Puputan, a heroic event that always be remembered among all Balinese until today's generation.
Surrounded with pure sandy beaches, it was an upscale quality and quite relaxed place to visit if you were in Bali.

How to Get There :


By Car,
Sanur is 20 minutes away from Ngurah Rai International Airport, there's many pre-paid coupon taxi cost for Rp. 90,000 from Airport to Sanur. But I recommend you to walk about 200 meters leave the airport and take a metered taxi from there, it cost more cheaper than a pre-paid taxi inside the air port.
If you drive a car by yourself, just find a Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai there's many signposted that will guide you into the heart of Sanur. Takes for about 20 minutes driving from Kuta or Legian, 25 minutes from Seminyak or Ubud, and about 15 minutes from Denpasar.

By Bus,
a bus company Perama offers daily direct transfer to Sanur and any other tourist destinations in Bali such as Kuta, Candidasa, Lovina, Padang Bai, and Ubud.

By Boat,
boats from Nusa Lembongan arrive at the beach at the end of jalan Hangtuah.
Perama also has a boat service to Nusa Lembongan , leaving at 10.30am . This has to be pre-booked the day before. Prices are slightly higher than the public boats. Charter boats are also available for steep prices, feel free to negotiate.
