The beaches of the Sanur resort are an ideal choice for those looking for calm seas and well-kept beaches with entertainment complexes. For many, this comes as news, but not all of Bali’s beaches are suitable for the kind of beach vacation we are used to — lounging on the sand and splashing in shallow, pleasant waves. Some of the island’s resorts are suitable only for surfing, as the big waves do not allow for comfortable swimming.
Sanur is quite a respectable place, yet without excessive pretentiousness and high prices. Here you will find a gentle sea, clean white sand, sun loungers, and umbrellas. Of course, active recreation is also possible: local travel agencies offer sea fishing trips, and there are also areas suitable for surfing.
It is worth noting that Sanur is considered the best choice for beginner divers — here you can rent diving equipment at pleasant prices and receive training with a certificate upon completion.
Those who like a thrill can take a walk to a very interesting place — the abandoned Taman Festival Park, which was planned as a grand amusement park, with roller coasters and water slides, attractions, and a safari zoo. However, the authorities of Indonesia froze the project, and since 2000 the park’s buildings have turned into something like sets from Hollywood films — an extraordinarily impressive sight and an opportunity to take unique photographs. True, local legends say that crocodiles live in the jungle around the ruins; they were brought to the park and then left to fend for themselves, so be careful and stick to the open paths.
