Sanur

Once a fishing village, Sanur is now also a beautiful resort area. Visitors can soak up the sun at a first class resort or soak up the colour and atmosphere of village life at the local markets.
Located on the eastern coast of Bali, Sanur is protected by a coral reef which makes the beach ideal for snorkelling, windsurfing and swimming. Colourful outrigger boats can be hired from the locals for trips along the coast or neighbouring islands.
This area is for those of you who wish to get away from the rush and bustle of Kuta but would like a holiday in an air-conditioned hotel with a swimming pool. The beach is wide with white sand, it is sheltered by a reef which is great for swimming at high tide but very shallow at low tide. The nightlife is sedate compared to Kuta but of course if you want a night out it is only a taxi fare! Denpasar
The capital of Bali, Denpasar has a population of 400,000 and has been the focus of much of the growth and wealth on the island over the last quarter of a century. It now has all the bustle and confusion one associates with the fast-growing cities of Asia. While the traffic, noise and pollution make it a difficult city to relish, Denpasar still retains pleasant, tree-lined streets and gardens and is very much part of the 'real' Bali, given that tourists generally give it a wide berth.
