Sanur & The East

Sanur has been maligned as a sleepy second cousin to kuta and a poor substitute for Nusa Dua, but dont believe everything your read!

Sanur is a charming area of beach land and genteel development. Graceful cafes, gorgeous restaurants and independent boutiques broadwalk with easygoing cafes and hotels create an endearing atmosphere of relaxation. dont miss the organic market on Sunday at cafe Jimbar nor the Green spa Cafe on jalan Mertasari, which serves raw food dishes ang sells a great range of jams and chutneys on the weekends.
From Sanur there is a straight road to the East that takes you past the windswept coastline of Tophati and past Ketewel to Padang Bai, Candi Dasa, Amalpura and Ahmed. East Bali a popular destination, quiet and coastal it offers much in the way of outdoors activities, healthy living pursuits, and restful beachside accommodations. The slopes of Gunung Agung reach down towards the coast and tucked under the sea lies some magnificent array of corals, marine life and underwater wrecks.
