Challenges:
- Heat and Sun: Midday sun can overheat your baby; carry sunshade, a hat, and avoid peak hours.

Good beaches in the islands of Bali areas. I like for walking beside beaches front and enjoying nature environments and local foods.
Frank Baltzereit
In short: Sanur appeals to travellers seeking calm, culture, and connection—without the crowds. It’s perfectly easygoing, beautifully scenic, and full of understated charm. If you want a slower-paced Bali experience with a dash of culture and seaside bliss, Sanur won’t disappoint.

Now I wish I had way more time here than other places I went to. There is a volcano that you can s...
