Sanur is a year-round destination, but ferry routes tend to get crowded from May to September (Bali’s dry season) and during major Indonesian holidays. If you plan to travel during these times, we recommend booking your ferry tickets 2-3 weeks in advance.

In the wet season (November to March), availability is usually higher, meaning you can book your ferry tickets even a few days in advance. However, ferry routes may be affected by weather conditions, so we recommend checking the latest updates on Ferryhopper.

As one of Bali’s oldest seaside spots, Sanur may feel worlds away from the island's more well-known and cosmopolitan spots, such as Kuta or Seminyak, but that is precisely what makes it worth discovering. Here, you can get a taste of authentic island living, a relaxing pace, and an atmosphere of rejuvenating serenity.

A worthy stop on any Bali travel itinerary, Sanur is dotted with quaint cafés, lively local markets, and seaside restaurants that call for dinner under the stars. Sanur Beach, one of the best in Bali, is nothing short of magnificent, its tranquil waters especially perfect for little swimmers, a bit for paddleboarding, or just floating without a care.

If your idea of a Bali getaway does not feature overwhelming crowds, Sanur will reward you with its unpretentious nature and laid-back rhythms. It will also serve as your starting point for some island hopping from Bali, as the Sanur ferry terminal is well connected to some of the best destinations on the Indonesian archipelago, with gems like Nusa Penida and Lombok being only a short ferry ride away.
