This Sanur Escape Has Been Crowned One of the World’s Top 100

Now, Sanur is making headlines on the world stage, thanks to the recent achievement of The Meru Sanur, which has been named among the 100 Best Hotels in the World and recognised as one of Bali’s Best Hotels & Resorts in the Savour BlackBookAsia Unadulterated List 2025.  Its sister property, the Bali Beach Hotel - The Heritage Collection, also earned a place on the list, adding another layer of prestige to this quiet stretch of coastline.

Managed by InJourney Hospitality, The Meru Sanur is more than just a resort - it is a sanctuary designed around the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasises harmony between people, nature and spirituality. The property sits within the Sanur Special Economic Zone for Health & Wellness, Indonesia’s first health-focused destination of its kind, which has been carefully curated to offer visitors a seamless balance of luxury, wellness, and cultural connection.

Spanning ten hectares along Sanur Beach, the resort unfolds as a journey in itself. Guests are welcomed into suites that combine coastal elegance with wellness-oriented living, each space carefully considered to bring a sense of peace and refinement. Days are spent moving between the pools, the beach and the lush gardens, or unwinding at Taru Pramana Spa & Wellness, where traditional Balinese rituals are reimagined for the modern traveller. Dining becomes a celebration of both global flavours and Indonesian tradition, with the resort’s collection of restaurants and bars positioned to take in the beauty of the ocean and the gentle rhythm of Sanur’s seaside life.

What makes The Meru Sanur stand out, however, is not only its luxury but the way it anchors guests in a holistic experience. Every stay is designed as a three-part journey: Rooting, Rebirth, and Resonance, guiding travellers from grounding moments of stillness to a deeper sense of awareness, and finally, sending them home with a renewed connection to self. It is a rare approach that transforms a simple holiday into something much more meaningful.

Just a short walk from Sanur Harbour and the new Bali International Hospital, and only half an hour from the airport, the location balances convenience with seclusion. It is the kind of place where you can choose to retreat entirely into wellness rituals or step out to explore Bali’s cultural heart in Ubud, the shopping and dining scene in Seminyak, or the tranquil stretches of Nusa Dua, all within an hour’s reach.

A short distance away, the Bali Beach Hotel - The Heritage Collection offers a different but equally captivating experience. Known as one of Bali’s first great hotels, its story traces back to the golden age of travel in the 1960s. Today, it blends nostalgic charm with touches of modern luxury, standing as an icon of timeless Balinese hospitality. With sweeping ocean views and gardens that carry the essence of old Bali, it continues to attract travellers who want to experience history while indulging in contemporary comforts.

Together, these two properties reflect the evolving identity of Sanur. Once seen as Bali’s sleepy seaside town, it is now positioning itself as a global centre for health, wellness, and cultural luxury. For travellers, that means one simple thing: Sanur is no longer just a quiet escape, it is a world-class destination, and The Meru Sanur is at its very heart.
