Top attractions in Sanur
Sanur Beach and the paved walk along it, the Le Mayeur museum, and Mertasari at the quieter southern end.
Sanur is Bali's oldest beach resort, a calm, family-friendly stretch on the south-east coast facing the sunrise. A paved boardwalk runs for kilometres behind the reef-protected beach, linking the sands at Sanur and Mertasari with the seafront Le Mayeur museum, once a Belgian painter's home. The harbour here is the main fast-boat port for Nusa Penida and Lembongan. The flat, walkable seafront makes it easy to cover the main sights in a relaxed day.
