Sunar Hotels
Catering for the more up market traveler, you will not 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 provide an excellent 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 loud crowds associated with the more budget hotel resorts.
What can you expect when staying in Sanur hotels? The mid range hotels and villas will offer you what you may expect from a three or four star hotel in a developed country. All rooms would be air conditioned, with 24 hour room service. There would be a restaurant that 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'll definitely give you everything you need to enjoy these outside of the hotel. All agreements would be made for you including transport from and to 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 private beaches for the guests. The top Sanur villas are certain to have this option. The leisure activities like scuba diving, surfing, kayaking and windsurfing should be available from these hotels with personalized tuition provided if required.
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 fret about unruly inebriated groups disturbing your small piece of paradise. As always you pay for what you get and paying extra to stay in one of the Sanur hotels is definitely worth it to escape from the maddening crowds.
Sanur beach is located along the east coast of Bali not more that 25 min 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 of the way up to your luxury international villas and resorts. As with the remainder of the Balinese people on the east coast you may be welcomed by friendly people looking to make your stay a pleasing one. There is a long stretch of natural reefs running along Sunar beach that produces some of the finest waves in the world when the conditions are good. Surfing at low tide can be a bit deadly for the inexperienced because of the many rocks.
Apart from all of 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 such as Ubud much easier. Traveling a little way up the east coast you'll leave behind the tourist resorts and come across tiny fishing towns that are so much a part of Balinese life. The local fishermen are more than happy to take you out on one of their boats for a little fee. The boats may not look extraordinarily safe to your standards, but as long as it's a clear calm day you'll be very 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.
