Sanur Harbour is where Bali’s coastal charm meets easy island hopping—smooth journeys begin with smart planning.
Sanur Harbour, located on Bali’s southeastern coast, is one of the island’s most popular departure points for fast boat trips to Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and the surrounding smaller islands. Unlike Padang Bai, Sanur Harbour is well-known for its calm waters, quick departures, and easy accessibility from popular areas like Seminyak, Canggu, Kuta, and Denpasar.
With new upgrades and modern facilities, Sanur Harbour has become the preferred choice for travelers who want a convenient and comfortable way to visit Bali’s neighboring islands.
Why Choose Sanur Harbour?
Sanur Harbour is famous for its fast and efficient boat services to nearby island destinations. Boats leave frequently throughout the day, especially for Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, making it one of the easiest ways to escape the Bali mainland for a day trip or longer stay.
The harbour now features a modern jetty, meaning you no longer need to wade through the water to board the boats like in the past. This upgrade makes boarding faster, safer, and more comfortable—especially for families, elderly travelers, or anyone carrying luggage.
