It is funny to know that some people pronounce Sanur as “snore.” And for some good reason because in recent times Sanur has revealed in its reputation as the sleepy, laid back alternative to the more interesting atmosphere on the west coast.
People are always comparing Sanur with Seminyak where the first one sits on the east coast and the other on the west.
At some points they look pretty similar. Sanur with the Jalan By-Pass, Seminyak with the Jalan Sunset. Sanur with the
Seminyak has been receiving all the attention in recent years as the trendiest set up camp; they even have their own magazine and helipad. Sanur on the other hand has been quietly getting on with the business of doing as little as possible.
This condition is pretty much different with that in the mid of 20th century. People from higher social status will prefer to stay at Sanur and leave all the backpackers find their world at Kuta. Many celebrities chose to stay at Sanur as this place has become a traditional center for Balinese magic.

Sanur is probably the best place to be based for a family holiday because the roads are not so bussy and are safe for your children.
You may not find a great place to surf on Sanur but the off shore reef there provides shelter against the strong currents which whip around the island.
Sanur is also good for divers as this place is the starting point for the great dive sites at Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida and Amed.
