Sanur is the most relaxed and mature of Bali's expat neighbourhoods. While Canggu hums with house music, Sanur begins its day with a morning walk along the long beachfront promenade, quiet cafes overlooking the lagoon, and unhurried conversations with neighbours. This district on the island's eastern coast has long been a favourite of expat families, semi-retired residents and those seeking Balinese life without noise and chaos.
