The Meru Sanur

The Meru Sanur is a luxury hotel on Jl. Hang Tuah in Sanur Kaja, Denpasar Selatan, Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, listed with beachfront access, pools, a spa and restaurants. It stands in the northern half of Sanur, along the road that links the beach with the Ngurah Rai bypass. Sanur sits on the southeast coast of Bali, in the Denpasar Selatan district of the provincial capital, and is known for its calm, shallow lagoon, its sunrise views toward Nusa Penida and the long paved beachfront path that runs the length of the shoreline. Ngurah Rai International Airport is roughly 30 to 45 minutes away by road depending on traffic, and fast boats to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan depart from the Sanur shoreline. Rooms are offered as Deluxe Rooms and higher categories, generally with contemporary interiors, balconies and views over the pools or gardens. Estimated nightly rates run from about IDR 3,500,000 to 5,500,000 (about US$196 to 307), depending on room type and season. Facilities include multiple pools, a spa, several restaurants and wifi. Dining generally spans an all-day restaurant, a poolside cafe and evening options, with breakfast covering both Western and Indonesian dishes. The spa provides Balinese massage and body treatments. The service style is that of a full-service resort, suited to families, couples and groups, with the front desk able to arrange transfers, tours and activities. Beyond the hotel, Sanur offers an easy-going range of visitor activities. The beachfront path is popular with walkers, joggers and cyclists from early morning, and bicycles are widely rented. The Le Mayeur Museum, former home of a Belgian painter, stands on the beach in the north of Sanur, and the Sindhu night market and the many seafood warungs provide inexpensive evening meals. Snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding, kite flying and sunrise photography are common pastimes, while traditional markets and the Bali Museum in central Denpasar offer a more local view of the island.
