Sanur is made up of 7 small districts , joined together seamlessly by the Bypass and tourist trade infrastructure. Driving from Kuta the main points you'll see on the Bypass are the Macro supermarket on the left side on the very southern end of Sanur before Jl. Danau Poso . As the Bypass swings through and heads left the main features you'll notice are the McDonalds at the junction with Jl. Segara Ayu and the KFC at the junction with Jl. Hang Tuah in the north.

• North Sanur:
Jl. Hang Tuah (KFC) is the small road that leads directly to the beach. It has a row of small hotels and Jl. Danau Toba has a good selection of restaurants and shops. Just south along the beach-side pathway is Museum Le Mayeur (open Mon-Thurs & Sun 8am-3pm, Fri 8am-12.30pm, admission 2,000rp, children 1,000rp). The Sanur Paradise Plaza is a fine hotel located at Jl. Hang Tuah and the Bypass .

• Sindhu:
The area between Jl. Segara Ayu (McDonalds) and Jl. Pantai Karang is known as Sindhu. This is a relatively high density set up of hotels and restaurants, including the Gazebo Hotel and The Village restaurant .

• Batujimber:
This area is popular with expats living in Sanur. The Hardy's supermarket and restaurants close by give a slight ‘Seminyak' kind of feel. Many expats prefer living in Sanur due to its proximity to the International School and quieter character than Kuta. Cafe Batujimber is a great place for a lunch stop.

• Semawang:
The coastal strip to the south of Sanur from the Bali Hyatt to Hotel Sanur Beach . This part of the beach is quiet and you will see the brightly colored jukung (local fishing boats).

• Blanjong:
The southern section of Sanur close to the Bypass. The location of the Prasasti Blanjong ancient inscriptions. The Bali Cricket Club is based on Jl. Danau Poso .
