Sanur, the bustling beach town in Bali, serves as the primary and busiest port for fast boat transfers to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan. With a 5km stretch of sandy beach, Sanur offers a peaceful escape with bars, restaurants, and various hotels catering to diverse budgets. Originally developed in the late 1960s, it's now a hub for sunrise enthusiasts. Protected by reefs, Sanur provides an ideal base for day trips to the south and north, including Ubud. The port, operational from 7:00 AM, facilitates direct boat transfers from Bali to Gili, making it a preferred choice for those near Sanur seeking shorter travel times than from Padangbai. Fast boat service takes just 30 minutes, with convenient facilities. For those returning to Kuta, Legian, and Seminyak, it's a 20-minute drive, while Ubud is approximately 25 minutes in the opposite direction from Sanur.
