FAQs
Is It Worth Staying In Sanur, Bali?
Yes. Sanur, Bali is a great place for a relaxing holiday with your family. Sanur Beach is a very pleasant sandy beach where you can swim and do watersports.
There are so many hotels in Sanur, Bali because there’s a demand for much more than one hotel in Sanur, Bali. If you want a beach resort destination that isn’t focused on its nightlife, Sanur is an excellent choice.
It’s also much cheaper than Nusa Dua which has some amazing luxury hotels and lovely beaches but mostly brand name places which tend to charge more.
Is Sanur Better Than Seminyak?
That’s very much going to depend on you. Seminyak is an area famous for its nightlife, luxury hotels and fine dining. You’d find it hard to find a cheap hotel within walking distance of the Seminyak beachfront.
It’s very popular with young people who are looking for somewhere to see other young, hip and well-to-do youngsters and be seen by them in return.
Sanur, Bali, on the other hand, is much quieter. There’s not a whole heck of a lot of nightlife and there are some cheap hotels in Sanur among the more luxurious spots.
That doesn’t mean you can’t find luxury in Sanur, Bali, you can. It’s just a bit more affordable than it is Seminyak.
Which Beach Is Better Sanur Or Nusa Dua?
Nusa Dua probably has a slightly better beach. Both areas have very attractive beachfronts but it’s fair to say that Nusa Dua has more luxury brand hotels and that means they tend to spend more time cleaning up than they do in Sanur.
However, it’s worth noting that in Nusa Dua you may struggle to get access to all the local amenities, whereas in Sanur, you’re likely to be within walking distance of everything you want to reach.
Dining out in Sanur, Bali is often far cheaper than it is in Nusa Dua’s upscale resort settings.
How Many Days Do You Need In Sanur? How Many Nights To Stay In Sanur?
It really depends on what you want from your holiday. If you’re hoping to squeeze as much of the island in as possible, then you might only do a day or two in Sanur, Bali as part of a bigger Bali tour.
However, if you just want to chill out on the beach or by the swimming pool and eat good food, have fun with your family and destress from the working year – you could easily spend your whole holiday in Sanur.
If you’re a fan of watersports, Sanur’s going to keep your attention for a decent length of time too.
How Do You Book A Stay In Sanur, Bali?
We always recommend that you book a stay in Sanur hotels through the awesome team at the Bali Res Centre.
This locally owned and operated travel agency can help you find the best Sanur hotels for your budget and needs and ensure that they use their local knowledge to prevent you from checking in next door to a building site.
Their prices are always competitive thanks to having their finger on the pulse of the local market. Whether you are aiming for the Hyatt Regency Bali or somewhere more modest, the Bali Res Centre team can help.
Final Thoughts On The Best Hotels In Sanur, Bali
Sanur and Sanur Beach have a reputation for being sleepy, but we think that’s unfair.
If you want a relaxed atmosphere and a pleasant beach resort that won’t cost the Earth and don’t care too much about nightlife, Sanur is awesome
It’s one of the more unspoiled parts of Bali and while we expect it to get much more popular in the future, for now, at least, hotels in Sanur are a bargain and you don’t have to compromise on any of your creature comforts for it.
