SANUR
Map of Sanur
Located around 10 km southeast from Denpasar, Sanur is a peaceful haven like nothing
else in the island.
Historically, Sanur was a home for fishermen and holy priests
from the highest caste, Brahmana. It was very famous for its magic and sorcery where many unusual
rites were performed during ancient temples’ celebrations there. Today, many holy priests still live there,
although Sanur itself has undergone major change since the last few decades.
Hotel Bali Beach was Bali’s first beach resort, built during the 1960s and still stands
tall among hundreds of other hotels, restaurants, and houses crowding Sanur today.
In addition, the city has become a famous expatriate center. People from
all over the world came to Bali and have created a unique and strong expatriate community in this area.
