With safe, sheltered beaches for swimming and a much slower pace than the Kuta-Seminyak area, Sanur offers a more village feel, making it one of the preferred areas of Bali for families and a more mature crowd. Bali International School (BIS) is a great option for expatriates with children, living in Sanur. The beaches are lined by colourful wooden fishing boats and the long path way along the beach is popular for cycling and relaxed walks.
