Where to book, at a glance
Find your Sanur hotel on the map
Live prices from Booking, Airbnb and more — move the map or change dates to compare stays around Sanur.
Sanur runs along a single beach road for about 5 km, so almost every hotel on the map above sits within walking distance of the promenade. Move the pins toward Jalan Danau Tamblingan in the north for the beachfront luxury cluster, or south past Jalan Cemara for quieter mid-range and budget options closer to the harbour.
Search by date rather than by name, since Sanur’s Booking.com and Airbnb listings shift between these same six properties and dozens of smaller guesthouses depending on the season.
Best beachfront hotels in Sanur
InterContinental Bali Sanur Resort puts you on a stretch of lagoon so flat it looks poured rather than tidal, with the outer reef breaking every swell before it reaches shore. Loungers line the lagoon edge under thatched cabanas, and the water turns a pale, translucent turquoise by mid-morning.
The five-star property on Jalan Kusuma Sari holds a 4.2-star average from more than 450 reviewers and ranks 35th of 113 Sanur hotels on Tripadvisor. A standard room runs AUD 311 to AUD 840 a night depending on season, verified against Tripadvisor’s standard-room rate range.
Hyatt Regency Bali claims one of the longest private beaches in Sanur at 500 metres, with three pools stepped toward the sand and gardens buffering the rooms from Jalan Danau Tamblingan behind them. Frangipani trees shade the paths between the pools, and the beach itself stays wide and walkable even at high tide.
It carries a 4.6-star average from over 3,300 reviews, ranks 21st of 113 Sanur hotels on Tripadvisor, and a standard room runs AUD 235 to AUD 554 a night.
Tandjung Sari is Sanur’s oldest boutique address: 26 thatched-roof bungalows scattered under coconut palms right on the sand, no two built quite alike, each with its own garden and shaded sitting area. Hammocks hang between the palms outside each bungalow, with the tide line just steps from the veranda.
The 4-star heritage property holds a 4.7-star average, ranks 15th of 113 Sanur hotels on Tripadvisor, and prices AUD 289 to AUD 686 a night.
Best mid-range hotels in Sanur
Puri Santrian spreads across a beachfront garden at Sanur’s quiet southern end, where three connected pools step down toward the water and a spa sits tucked into the palms away from the road. Palms screen the pool terraces from the beachfront path that runs the length of the property.
It won a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award for 2026, ranks 27th of 113 Sanur hotels, and prices a standard room AUD 164 to AUD 401 a night.
Prama Sanur Beach Bali puts you on the sand with no road to cross, plus a swim-up pool bar close enough to hear the water at high tide, and direct access to the quieter southern stretch of the promenade. It carries 3,813 reviews, the largest review count on this list, and ranks 33rd of 113 Sanur hotels.
Rates run AUD 99 to AUD 248 a night, the widest value gap between beachfront access and price on this list.
Best budget stays in Sanur
Yulia 2 Homestay Sanur trades beachfront views for a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a garden terrace five minutes’ walk from the promenade, where sunrise clears the reef each morning.
It holds a 9.2-out-of-10 guest score across 543 reviews, and nightly rates run AUD 19 to AUD 31, with weekday nights toward the lower end and weekends closer to the top.
A short walk away, Yulia 1 Homestay on Jalan Danau Tamblingan No. 38 offers a similar garden-room setup with a pool, a second verified option at the same price point.
Sanur or somewhere else in Bali
Sanur is one of eight areas covered in our full where to stay in Bali breakdown, which weighs Sanur against Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, and four other bases by budget and traveller type. For island-wide picks across every price tier rather than one town, see best hotels in Bali for the wider view.
When these hotels are the wrong choice
Sanur is quiet and suits families and older travellers rather than anyone chasing nightlife, since most restaurants and bars close by 9 PM and the town has no beach-club scene like Seminyak or Canggu.
The reef that keeps the lagoon calm also strips the water thin and rocky at low tide, so swimming works best a few hours either side of high tide, with the hotel pool filling the gap.
A real reef break runs beyond the lagoon, but it favours experienced surfers on a rising tide and turns hazardous as the tide drops, so anyone wanting reliable, beginner-friendly waves is better based on the west coast in Canggu, Kuta, or Uluwatu.
The trade-off for the quiet is a slower pace after dark, so anyone stacking a Bali trip with late nights and beach parties will feel more at home elsewhere on the island.
Pairing Sanur with Nusa Penida and the rest of Bali
Sanur Harbour is Bali’s main fast-boat port for Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan, running roughly 22 sailings a day between 6:30 AM and 5 PM.
The crossing to Nusa Penida takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the operator, landing at Toyapakeh or Banjar Nyuh Harbour, and a one-way ticket costs AUD 13-17 · USD 10-12 (IDR 170,000-215,000) when booked online.
Basing in Sanur means walking to the harbour for an early sailing instead of arranging a pre-dawn transfer from Seminyak or Ubud, which matters if your Bali itinerary includes a Nusa Penida day trip.
Add the boat fare and any day-tour cost to your Bali travel budget separately from the hotel rate, since Nusa Penida trips are booked and priced independently of accommodation. The same harbour also serves Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan on overlapping schedules, so confirm the island printed on your ticket before boarding, since several operators share the same dock.
