Sanur is a fantastic destination for young kids in Bali and there are many toddler friendly villas. The pathways are more stroller friendly and the area quieter than Kuta or Seminyak but Sanur still has great shopping and restaurants. I especially love the beach path that is flat and a joy to walk along with a stroller. Also there are wonderful sunrises in Sanur so if the little ones are up early its a great way to start the day watching the sunrise on the beach.

Most of the toddler friendly villas in Sanur are not beachfront but usually a 5-10 minute stroll from the beach. If a beachfront location is important the Fairmont, Prama or the Mecure Hotels are great options with the kids. The each have a kids club and check out my post on hotels with Kids Clubs in Bali for more details. A great place to beat the heat with young children in Sanur is the indoor playcentre Peekaboo. Charlotte and Mason have had great fun playing there over the years and the free wifi and coffee was good. It is located a short taxi ride from the centre of Sanur, just north of Mcdonalds.

Villas we have stayed in

• Villa Kawan 3 bedrooms plus activity room. There is an enclosed AC living space with lovely pool and garden area. 5 minute walk to Hardys supermarket and 10 minute walk to beach. We stayed here in May 2013 and September 2016 with both times thoroughly enjoying our stay. You can check out our in depth reviews of our stays here and here. The owners were fantastic to deal with and organised a pool fence through Bali Pool Fence Hire.
• Zen Villa is one of the privately owned and managed Zen Villas. We stayed here in September 2012 with Charlotte and you can check out more of our thoughts here about our stay. It is a 2 bedroom villa similar to the other Zen Villas and was situated at the end of the villas so was very private. We had our own maid and driver that transferred us to and from the airport. He was very helpful and made our stay fantastic. The pool is smaller than the other villas but was sufficient for our family.

Villas we have viewed

• The Zen Villas has a range of 2 bedroom villas. Some villas also have a 3rd single room for 1 person. Each villa is freestanding and completely air conditioned. The whole villa is enclosed and doors can be locked with keys to ensure safety of toddlers. The villa is surrounded by lovely gardens and is a 5 minute walk to Hardy’s Supermarket and 10 minutes to the beach. It is located next door to Villa Kawan.
