Sanur Sights

  1. Bali Orchid Garden

    Given Bali's weather and volcanic soil, no-one should be surprised that orchids thrive in abundance. At this garden you can see thousands of orchids in a variety of settings. Fans will love everything, others will enjoy the back areas which have a wild tropical feel. The gift shop sells orchid plants as well as books about the flowers. It's 3km north of Sanur along Jl Ngurah Rai just past the major intersection with the coast road, Jl Bypass Tohpati.

  2. Museum Le Mayeur

    The Belgian artist Adrien Jean Le Mayeur de Merpes (1880-1958) arrived in Bali in 1932. Three years later he met and married the beautiful Legong dancer Ni Polok when she was 15. They lived in this compound when Sanur was still a quiet fishing village. The main house must have been delightful - a peaceful and elegant home filled with art and antiques right by the tranquil beach.
