“Sanur is Bali's oldest upscale resort area in a mature beach-side town” |
Sanur is Bali’s oldest upscale resort area in a mature beach-side town. Despite the abundance of restaurants and accommodation, it has a quiet and relaxed feel to it.
Sanur tends to appeal most to a middle-aged and older clientele, especially Europeans. Another reason for its popularity are the moderate costs for high quality loding and dining out.
Sanur is also famous for the annual International Kite Festival in July, which coincides with the peak tourist season. Traditional Balinese giant kites up to 10 metres in length are made and flown competitively by teams from different villages around Bali. The origins of this event are as a festival intended to send a message to the Hindu Gods to create abundant crops and harvests.
