6 Best Options for Where to Stay in Sanur

Each option below pairs a micro-location or stay type with the traveler it fits and who should skip it. We give no nightly rates because none were verified for 2026. Check current prices on the official hotel site or a major booking platform before you commit.

• 1. North Sanur near Jalan Danau Tondano
  • Fits travelers who want a base with easy access to the wider Sanur area and a quieter feel than the main strip.
  • Skip it if you want to step straight out onto restaurant-lined streets. Confirm the walking distance to the beach on a map before booking.
• 2. Central strip around Jalan Danau Tamblingan
  • Best for first-timers who want food, shops and massage within walking distance. See our guide to Sanur restaurants for eating options along this area.
  • Skip it if you are noise-sensitive. Choose a room set back from the street and read recent guest reviews on noise.
• 3. South Sanur toward Mertasari and Semawang
  • Best for couples, seniors and anyone who wants the quietest stretch of the coast.
  • Skip it if you plan late dinners out or early fast-boat departures. Check transfer time from your hotel to the harbor first.
• 4. Beachfront resorts
  • Search results surface Hyatt Regency Bali, Andaz Bali, InterContinental Bali Sanur Resort, Prama Sanur Beach Bali and Segara Village Hotel. Confirm each is operating and where it sits on the official site.
  • Best for families and couples who want pools, breakfast and direct beach access. Skip them if you prefer to spend your budget on food and activities outside the hotel.
• 5. Homestays and budget hotels
  • Kamboja Homestay and Peneeda View Sanur Beach Hotel appear in search results for lower-cost stays. Verify category and location on a booking platform.
  • Best for budget travelers and surf-minded guests who want to explore. Skip them if you need a kids' club or on-site spa.
• 6. Villas for groups and long stays
  • Sumitra Luxury Villas & Resort By Pramana is one lead to check. Look for kitchen and laundry access if you stay longer.
  • Best for groups, families and remote workers. Skip them if you want daily housekeeping and restaurant service on site.

How We Chose These Stays

This list is based on location, facilities and guest-review consensus. We did not publish review scores or star ratings. Named properties are leads to confirm on an official site, because listings and categories change. For destination context, see the official Indonesia tourism site.

Getting Around From Your Hotel

One listing for Maya Sanur Resort & Spa states it is 15km from Ngurah Rai International Airport. Treat that as a listing claim and verify it. Traffic changes transfer time, so ask your hotel for a current estimate. Once in Sanur, the beach promenade is the easiest way to walk between areas. Our guide to 8 Best Things to Do in Sanur: Beach, Culture & Day Trips maps out what is close by. Fast boats to the Nusa islands may depart from Sanur, so check current operators and the departure point. Our day trip guide covers onward options.

Booking Tips and Mistakes to Avoid

Check whether a listing says beachfront or only beach view. These are different, so confirm on the hotel's own site. Read cancellation terms and whether breakfast is included. Peak-season rooms fill earlier, so see when to visit Sanur before choosing dates. For rain and conditions, consult the Indonesian weather agency. If nightlife matters, read about Sanur after dark first. Culture-minded guests can look at Sanur temples to pick a convenient area.
