Known for its mysticism and for having the first star rated resort in Bali, Sanur is still considered today as one of the areas in Bali where you can feel the true spirit of Bali. Quiet and relatively laid back Sanur has a certain flair about it that appeals to just about everyone. It has a great stretch of white sand beach, with a variety of water sport activities for all ages to enjoy, fine hotels, villas, restaurants, traditional drama places as well as modern entertainment establishments. It is also one of the preferred areas in Bali, where affluent residents prefer to setup residence. Being almost in the center of Bali's major tourist areas, Sanur is a good location to explore Bali.

Puri Gopa can be reached within few minutes walk from the Semawang beach (see the Sanur map below).
