Good to know

Where's the classic local meal in Sanur?

The long-running beachfront warungs — think fresh fish soup and grilled seafood on Jl. Hang Tuah — are the local institutions people come back for.

Is Sanur good for a calm dinner?

Very — evenings are mild and low-key. It's a place for an easy beachfront dinner rather than a party; nightlife lives on the west coast.

Keep planning
