SANUR EXPAT COMMUNITY
The quiet side. Morning walks on the boardwalk, calm water for swimming, and restaurants that have been here for decades. Bali at a different pace.
OLD BALI, STILL STANDING
Sanur was the first tourist area in Bali. That was decades ago, and while everywhere else has been rebuilt three times over, Sanur has... just kept going. The beachfront boardwalk still exists. The sunrises are still good. The restaurants still have printed menus.
The expat community here skews older, though not exclusively. Plenty of families with young kids who want the calm beach. Some retirees. A fair number of people who tried Canggu, found it exhausting, and moved east.
It's 25 minutes from the airport, which matters. The reef keeps the water flat, so you can actually swim. The nightlife is minimal, which is either a feature or a bug depending on what you're looking for.
