| Sanur
has retained its village atmosphere and tends to attract
a more mature clientele and families, with most younger
people preferring to stay in Kuta. Oddly enough though,
Sanur also hosts the island’s red-light district,
hidden in alleyways away from the hotel area!
A calm, quiet lagoon area, Sanur Beach offers great
conditions for windsurfing, parasailing, and other recreational
activities. The chic address of many of Bali's
rich and famous since the 1930's, Sanur has a lively
history and is still cherished by many. The strecth
from the Grand Bali Beach to beyond the Bali Hyatt is
served by a beach path, making it possible to enjoy
the many hotels and restaurants along the strip. The
calm waters of Sanur beach make it very popular with
families.
Sanur can
be divided into 4 sub-districts:
-
The
Grand Bali Beach Are
-
SINDHU - A classy area with good hotels on the beach,
a boardwalk, an art market and good eating.
-
BATUJIMBA - Mainly villas belonging to the Indonesian
elite and expatriates.
-
SEMAWANG - South from the Bali Hyatt. Home to some
pricey restaurants and the seedy red-light district.
