If your impression of Bali is limited to the hustle of Kuta or the nightlife of Seminyak, The Meru Sanur might redefine what ‘Bali vacation’ means to you.

This five-star all-suite resort opened in Sanur in late 2024, with an overall Agoda rating of 9.1, and proudly won the 2025 Traveler’s Choice Award. Located on Bali’s quietest eastern coastline, it emphasizes high-end healing, with every detail—from architecture to dining to Spa—deliberately slowed down, which is quite a feat in Bali.
📍 Location & Surroundings

The Meru Sanur is situated at the northern end of Sanur, right next to the white sandy beach, just a short walk from Sanur’s famous seaside boardwalk (Sanur Promenade). This 8-kilometer path is a local favorite for morning runs, cycling, and strolls. Walking it at sunrise, you’ll feel like the world is just sea breeze and light.
This area isn’t as noisy as Kuta nor as secluded as Ubud—it has that ‘hard-to-leave’ tranquility. Here are some nearby spots worth exploring:
