Posted by Those who are interested in discovering Bali's distinctive culture and natural environment may find some of the top things to do in Sanur appealing. Le Mayeur Museum, the strange and old Blanjong inscription, and even a "ghost village" that only the brave should explore are examples of historical sites.
1. Sanur Beach
2. Seawalker Bali
With Bali Seawalker, you may explore the ocean floor while admiring stunning coral reefs and the tropical marine life that resides inside them. Five minutes away from shore, their pontoon is tethered, and from there, you descend a ladder while donning a specialized helmet beneath the waves.
With trained and knowledgeable guides keeping an eye on the activities from above and below, you may easily spend around 30 minutes exploring the ocean's bottom on foot. Children 10 and older can enjoy Bali Seawalker, and neither diving expertise nor swimming prowess are required.
3. Museum Le Mayeur
Right on Sindhum's popular Sanur Beach, hidden behind a line of art and gift shops, is the Le Mayeur Museum. This memorial museum primarily houses the works of art and personal memorabilia of Brussels-born painter Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merpres, who was inspired by Bali and the Sanur coastline.
Legong dancer Ni Pollok served as his wife and inspiration. His oil paintings prominently display her. The main structure houses the couple's old living quarters, which contain traditional Balinese design elements, sculpted stone walls, and red terrazzo flooring. The majority of the furniture is made of carved wood, and characters from wayang (shadow puppets) are featured in motifs on the window sills.
Location: Sanur Kaja, Kota Denpasar, Denpasar Selatan, Jalan Hang Tuah, Bali, Indonesia
4. Bali Taman Festival
5. Blanjong Temple
One of Bali's oldest artifacts, which dates back to AD914, is on exhibit in Blanjong Temple. Sanskrit markings on a stone pillar lead experts to conclude that it is some kind of victory memorial, primarily for King Sri Kesari Warmadewa. the founding monarch of the Warmadewa dynasty of Bali. He was credited with establishing Bali's first official government.
6. Turtle Conservation Center (TCEC)
7. Sanur dive sites
8. Bali Sailing
9. Kiteboarding
With dozens of rental shops surrounding the coast, kitesurfing is one of the most well-liked water sports in Sanur. A big kite is used to tow the wakeboard instead of a boat in this activity that combines parasailing, wakeboarding, and water skiing. As some of Sanur's top surf schools, like Rip Curl School of Surf, are situated there, Kite Beach is where you'll typically see kitesurfers.
10. Swimming and scuba diving at Sanur Beach
As you can discover various shallow places with colorful reefs and schools of tropical species including parrotfish, pufferfish, and batfish, snorkeling is a well-liked pastime in Sanur. You can hire a dinghy at your hotel or with a dive shop to go to the best areas, or you can join up for a snorkeling excursion. There are day trips available if you'd like to travel further, including to nearby islands like Nusa Penida, Padang Bai, or Tulamben, which are well known for drawing manta rays and turtles.
As Sanur's beach region has a lower tide and milder waves than most Bali beaches, swimming is safe for children there. The main beach can get quite crowded, so travel over to Sindhu Beach at the southernmost point of the coastline, which also has a great saltwater lagoon.
11. Windsurfing and surfing at Sanur Beach
With its opposing twin swells that reach an uneven lava reef, Keramas Beach in Sanur draws surfers. The black-sand beach is located in Gianyar on Bali's eastern coast, facing Nusa Lembongan. The waves often have a quick right-hander and can reach a height of 1.5 meters. To cross the 500-meter gap between the shore and the curling barrels and surf in Sanur, you'll need a boat or a long paddle.
Surfing is less popular in Sanur than windsurfing. Although the beach is always subject to steady gusts and currents, the dry season is the ideal time to practice this sport. Professionals can perform remarkable tricks because the wind at Serangan Island is consistently a few knots greater than it is at other locations on the island.
12. Bali Beach Golf Course
Bali Beach Golf Course at Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel is one of Bali's smallest golf courses, featuring 9- and 18-hole courses with a private country club ambiance. Golf courses are typically only a few acres in size, and the greens are flanked by ponds, fountains, crisscrossing garden bridges, and pine trees, making a round rather difficult. On the second floor of the golf center is a night driving range, and on the first floor is a space for events. There are amenities on-site, such as a pro shop, conference rooms, and a restaurant with a view of the greens.
13. The Sanur beach Cemara
South of Semawang Beach is Cemara Beach, which is a continuation of Sanur's coastal strip. Thanks to reefs guarding the coastline, the waves are rather quiet here. You may explore the rocky pools that are home to starfish, coral, and tropical fish during low tide while strolling on gritty sand. A nice road for cycling, jogging, or strolling is available at Cemara Beach, where you may enjoy stunning sunrise views. If you're interested in going underwater, there are many small warungs (food stalls) providing cold beverages and refreshments.
14. Mertasari Beach
15. Padang Galak Beach
16. Karang Beach
South of Sindhu Beach in Sanur, a short distance away, is a small, undeveloped beach called Pantai Karang. Due to the relatively calm waters, some of the best activities to do here include swimming, playing, and sea kayaking. At Pantai Karang Beach, there are reasonably priced equipment rental businesses, many of which don't have time restrictions. There are tree-shaded areas on the beach where you can go for year-round picnics, yoga, and sunbathing.
17. Pantai Matahari Terbit Beach
A 500-meter stretch of land called Pantai Matahari Terbit Beach may be found 2 kilometers north of Padang Galak Beach in Sanur. In Indonesian, it is known as "Sunrise Beach." Due to wave breakers and a beach footpath that borders the waves, the beach doesn't have a sandy beachfront, yet it is well-liked by locals who want to see Sanur's sunrise. A small section of Pantai Matahari Terbit has a small collection of warungs (local food vendors).
18. Bali's Pantai Segara Ayu Beach
One of the beaches in Sanur's center is Pantai Segara Ayu. It boasts a section of spotless, white sand that is kept up by the beachside eateries and Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel. The beach is well-known for its wide sands and gentle surf, where you may engage in leisure activities and take trips to the Nusa and Gili Islands. A seaside walkway links Pantai Segara Ayu with nearby Sanur beaches, offering a variety of food and shopping opportunities.
19. Bali's Pantai Semawang Beach
You may relax and take in the beach vista at the end of an artificial wave breaker that has a Balinese gazebo. With the silhouettes of Nusa Penida and Mount Agung in the distance, the seascape in the early morning is extremely lovely.
20. Serangan Island
21. Sindhu Beach
Wide sand dunes and mild breezes at Bali's Pasangan Sindhu Beach make it a favorite for both relaxing and strenuous sports. The finest activities to do if you want to stay active while on vacation include snorkeling, canoeing, and kitesurfing.
You may easily ride a bike to explore the remainder of Sanur, and local art galleries and warungs (food vendors) line the pathway leading to Sindhu. When the weather is clear, you can see the broad seascape with Mount Agung and the contours of Nusa Penida Island in the distance.
22. Griya Santrian Gallery
The Griya Santrian Gallery frequently holds art exhibits, book releases, and gatherings of regional and international artists. The gallery displays sculptures and paintings by creators who mostly work in classical forms almost every month. Syahrizal Koto, Ni Nyoman Sani, I Ketut Muja, Le Mayeur de Mempres, Auw Kok Heng, and Sujana are a few well-known artists whose work has been shown at Griya Santrian Gallery.
The same folks who run the yearly Sanur Village Festival also own Griya Santrian Gallery, one of Sanur's most well-known art spaces. It serves as one of the primary locations for the week-long event's art exhibitions.
23. Big Garden Corner in Bali
24. Visit Massimo to get some gelato
This popular restaurant, which contains an Italian restaurant run by an expatriate native, is located in a lush Balinese courtyard and is well known throughout the island.
However, the ice cream shop at the front of the building, which serves up delicious gelato that is entirely made in-house, is the main attraction here rather than the restaurant inside. It is ideal if you are walking by and fancy a sweet treat.
25. Explore the Pasar Sindu Night Market.
The Pasar Sindu Night Market is one of Sanur's main attractions in the evening and is a great place to go if you feel like doing some late-night shopping and snacking.
Unlike many other night markets in Southeast Asia, this one is more static than revolving, but you can still find a wide variety of goods for sale, including some delectable local street food.
The Jalan Pasar Sindu night market typically begins to operate as dusk falls over sleepy Sanur.
26. Bajra Sandhi Monument
Just a 10-minute drive from Sanur is Denpasar, the capital of Bali, where this towering monument is located.
A museum with air conditioning was added inside in 2003 and is dedicated to the sufferings of the Balinese people throughout history.
Personally, I think it resembles the sinister castle of a movie villain, but it's still a cool design.
There is a large courtyard area with some lovely walking paths, which is where many local couples like to take prewedding ph
