From five-star beach resorts to family-friendly stays with cool kids clubs, wake up to Bali's sunrise views at the best hotels in Sanur.
I’ve been a Sanur local since I first moved to Bali, and there’s just something about it that makes me stay. The calm beach is perfect for sunrise walks, and the cute cafes and Bali’s family-friendly restaurants offer something for everyone. But what I love the most? The fact that despite its growing crowds, Sanur’s slower pace of life remains, and it feels like a real breath of fresh air in south Bali.
If that sounds like your kind of Bali holiday, then I’d say it’s worth staying in Sanur for at least a few nights. From Bali’s best beachfront hotels to budget-friendly guesthouses, here’s my shortlist of the best hotels in Sanur. FYI – We’ve got a whole list Bali’s best hotels if you’re staying in other areas on the island!
Why trust this guide
I first moved to Sanur in 2006, so I know this neighbourhood like the back of my hand. I’ve also reviewed countless hotels in Bali, including those in Sanur. This guide includes my personal picks of the best hotels in Sanur. I’ve grouped them based on how close they are to the beach, as well as pricing. Plus, my tips, who I think each is best for, and what you need to know before you book. Welcome to my neighbourhood!
First time in the area? Here’s my complete Sanur guide, which includes all you need to know, pros and cons, and more!
Where to stay in Sanur by area
You can generally divide Sanur into two halves: the east side of Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai, and the west side. The east is where tourists love to stay, as it’s the beach side of the neighbourhood. This means that you’ll be within walking distance of the shore, larger beachfront resorts, most of the top restaurants, Sindhu Night Market, boutiques and souvenir shops in Sanur. Meanwhile, the west side of Sanur is mostly occupied by local and expat residents living in Bali for a longer period of time.
For this hotel guide, I’ve focused on the east half of Sanur. But, if you want my recommendations on the west side of Jalan By Pass, or you have any suggestions on how I can improve this list, shoot me an email on vici@thehoneycombers.com.

One for the artistic souls, ARTOTEL Sanur is one of those hotels you wouldn’t believe is this good based on how budget-friendly it is. That is, until you’ve actually stayed there. In fact, by the end of my stay here, I didn’t want to leave. It directly impresses with its architecture that’s inspired by Sanur’s annual kite festival, and artwork from some of Bali’s best emerging artists.
I stayed here for two nights, and my Studio 20 room was cosy and super cool! Think a statement mural on the wall, a plush bed, modern designs and essential amenities.

13. Prime Plaza Hotel Sanur
A centrally located Sanur hotel with tropical gardens, a lagoon pool and access to family-friendly facilities.
Location, location, location! Prime Plaza Hotel Sanur stands right by the main road of Sanur, which means easy access to Sanur’s beach, harbour and fab restaurants. But what I love most about this hotel is how it blends tropical Balinese charm with modern facilities. I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff (they all remembered my name!), along with traditional touches and local artwork.
I was staying here solo, so I chose one of the spacious suites. But there are accommodation options for all travellers – couples, families and business trips too. I spent most of my days beside the lagoon pool, which is hidden amidst tropical gardens. It’s a peaceful oasis where you can swim leisurely laps, or simply lounge on the sunbeds – some of which are actually submerged right in the water!

It’s slightly off the main food and shopping strip, but it should definitely be on your radar if you’re coming to Bali for a romantic getaway.
For starters, the vibe here is intimate and tranquil, with just a handful of suites and one-bedroom pool villas, all decorated in soothing earthy tones.
