Ngurah Rai International airport is approximately a 25 minute drive. Bali's capital, Denpasar, is only 9 km to the northwest, and Kuta is 15 km southwest. A five minute walk from the front door leads to the beautiful Sanur Beach. Free from hawkers, this beach is the ideal place to relax and enjoy some recreation. Local stores offer SCUBA diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, sailing, kite boarding, wakeboarding, waterskiing, jet skis, canoes, fishing trips aboard traditional boats, and massages on the beach. Restaurants providing cuisine of all variations share the esplanade along the beach with art shops and markets.
