Living, Leasing & Building in Sanur, Bali

Sanur is Bali's calm side: a leafy, established east-coast town where the sea is gentle, the pace is unhurried, and families and long-stayers feel at home. If you are thinking about property, a long-term lease, or a thoughtful interior in this part of the island, here is how Balcoma can help.

01 / Overview

Bali, Indonesia

Sitting on Bali's south-east shore, Sanur has long been the island's quiet alternative to the busier south. It is a place of tree-lined lanes, low-rise buildings, and a beachfront promenade that runs for kilometres past warungs, cafes, and morning swimmers. The reef-sheltered water is flat and safe, which is exactly why families, retirees, and people settling in for the long term keep choosing it.

For investors and expats, Sanur offers something rare in Bali: stability. It is one of the most established neighbourhoods on the island, with mature infrastructure, an international hospital nearby, schools, and a residential community that stays year-round rather than emptying with the seasons. That makes it a sound place to hold property and an easy place to actually live.

Sanur is also well connected. The fast-boat harbour at Sanur links directly to Nusa Penida and the Gili Islands, the airport is a straightforward drive south, and Denpasar, Ubud, and the Bukit are all within reach. You get the quiet of a coastal town without feeling cut off from the rest of Bali.
