Sanur (Indonesian:Pantai Sanur Pronounced Sah-Noor) is a coastal stretch of beach of Denpasar city of south east Bali, about 30 minutes drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport, which has grown into a little town in its own right.

The northern part of Sanur beach was used as the landing site for the Dutch invasion troops during the Dutch intervention in Bali (1906).

During World War II, Sanur was again the entry point through which the Japanese forces landed to occupy the island of Bali.

Today Sanur contains a number of resorts such as the Medina and Bali Hyatt (not to be confused with the Grand Hyatt in Nusa Dua) and is a popular tourist destination.
