Our villas and services are designed to create memorable experiences. If any of these resonate with you, then you're in the perfect place!
Sanur is known for its classic Balinese mixture of beautiful rice terraces meeting the ocean, with huge crashing waves and pristine beaches along the southeast coast. They call it "The Morning of the World", which is a fitting name because you get the most stunning sunrises over Bali from Sanur. The town itself is bustling with local markets, and a long beach boardwalk that goes on for 5 kilometres.
Being one of the first beach resort areas in Bali, Sanur has managed to hold onto its cultural heritage and arts. This makes it a great choice for both traditional travellers and more modern types looking for a beach getaway. As you'd expect from a coastal town, there are loads of accommodations, shops and restaurants right on the seafront.
Some of the nicest villas we've seen in Sanur are the traditional Balinese-style ones, located in residential neighbourhoods just next to the beach. All of the villas in Sanur have a private pool for you to enjoy throughout your stay. The neighbouring area of Ketewel up north is much more relaxed and less developed. Most villas there have their own private access to the beach, so you really feel like you’re in your own tropical sanctuary.
At Villa Finder, we’ll help you choose the perfect villa for you and your loved ones, depending on your needs and wants. We understand how overwhelming it can be to plan a trip, especially when it involves many people and different needs to cater to. Just give us a call, and we’ll help you with all the planning, from choosing the right villa to arranging tours around Bali. Don’t worry, we’re here to take care of you.
Sanur is located up along the east coast of Bali, just north of Nusa Dua and south of Candidasa. It's about a 30-minute to an hour drive from Ngurah Rai airport via toll. When it comes to choosing where to stay, the beach is really the star attraction in Sanur. A lot of the villas and resorts are right in front of the beach or just a short walk away. Some accommodations are located a bit further inland.
For families travelling to Bali, we suggest staying in Sanur Beach itself. This is always a popular choice for those looking to get lots of beach time. Many villas here have direct beach access or are a few steps away from the sand. Nothing beats waking up to the sound of waves and seeing the most beautiful sunrise in Bali.
If you’re looking for convenience, Jalan Danau Tamblingan, the main street of Sanur, is also a great choice to make as your holiday base. This bustling street is lined with restaurants, cafes, shops, and accommodations. It’s also still close to the beach, so staying here would give you easy access to both modern conveniences and the gorgeous waters of Sanur Beach.
For those of you looking to truly escape everything, Mertasari Beach is the place to go. Located at the southern end of the 5km boardwalk of Sanur Beach, you’ll find this quiet yet charming spot with white sands and blue waters. Kite surfing is popular on this beach, and you’ll also find a few eateries along the shore. You’ll find more locals and fewer tourists in this area, so it will definitely be more peaceful compared to other beaches.
Adventure-seekers will prefer to stay near Padang Galak Beach on the northern end of Sanur. If someone in your family or group is really big into surfing or kitesurfing, the waves on this beach are truly amazing. They also host a Kite Festival every July, which is quite a spectacle to see.
For a taste of local culture and traditional Balinese life, staying in Sanur Village provides an authentic experience. You can explore local markets, and temples, and interact with the friendly locals. You’ll get to feel what the real Bali is like, outside of all the tourist traps.
There are several good reasons why you should stay in a private villa instead of a hotel during your family holiday in Bali. And no, we’re not just being biased. After you’ve read this section, we’re sure we’ll have your head nodding.
First off, the privacy is wonderful - you'll have the entire villa all to yourselves with no shared facilities. This means the kids are free to run around and play in the garden or pool area without disturbing anyone. You also won’t have any awkward run-ins with other guests at the lobby or lift.
Second, the space is perfect. The kids will have their own bedroom, and you and your partner can relax in yours. It's like being back at home with separate living and dining areas. Everyone has the space to relax how they want. Say goodbye to tripping over luggage in cramped-up hotel rooms.
Third, the freedom is amazing. You can come and go as you please and there’s no need to dress all proper when going down to get breakfast. You can even sleep in as long as you like because you can just make your own breakfast in the kitchen. Or you can hire a private chef to make a delicious meal for you. You can use the pool whenever you like – if you fancy some night swimming, then by all means, no one will stop you.
And last, the flexibility is brilliant. Tell our concierge team what you need, and we'll take care of it. Need a night off? We can arrange a babysitter. Want tours arranged? We’ll find you a tour guide and a private car with a chauffer. Is it someone's birthday? We'll decorate the villa and even put together some goodie bags. Fancy a massage in the comforts of your own room? We’ll send a masseuse to you. Whatever you require, we’ll do our best to make your holiday stress-free.
At Villa Finder, we've handpicked all the best villas in the area so you can relax knowing you'll have an amazing place to stay during your vacation
Every villa in our collection has plenty of space -– large bedrooms, big open living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and best of all, a private pool where the kids (or you!) can splash and swim to their hearts’ content. If you’re travelling with a baby, we can even set up a cot, pool fence, and high chair. Just say the word!
We work directly with the villa owners to get you the best deal around. That means we can hold the villa for you for 3 days, even on weekends. That gives you time to chat with your family or friends before deciding. And don't worry about paying upfront - you don't need a credit card for the initial reservation.
