One of Bali鈥檚 best kept secrets, Tandjung Sari has been welcoming guests for over 50 years since it opened in 1962 as Bali鈥檚 first boutique property. Located on Sanur Beach it was originally an extension to a family home and is still owned and managed by that same family.
Named after the small temple on the beachfront, the literal translation is Cape of Flowers. This small, charming hotel offers characterful accommodation set among the larger resorts of Sanur Beach with the convenience of plenty of shops, restaurants and bars on the doorstep.
The beautiful old gardens and rambling character of the pathways create an atmosphere of deep charm and tranquility. With a variety of activities and a great location, Tandjung Sari attracts couples of all ages, as well as families.
OUR OPINION:
The resort was one of the first to be developed in the Sanur area. It is traditional and modern at the same time and ideal for those who are looking for time on the beach but who also want to have easy access to an array of restaurants, shops, bars and water sports.

Sanur is located on the southeast coast of Bali and is relatively peaceful compared with some of the busier, larger beach resorts in that part of the island. One of the oldest resort areas on the island it has a relaxed feel to it.
Although not as quiet and undeveloped as the more secluded beach resorts on the northern and eastern coasts of Bali, Sanur offers the advantage of a wide selection of restaurants, bars and shops. The beach is a long stretch of 4 km of white sand, and running the length of the beach a paved walkway sits between the sand and a string of restaurants and hotels. An offshore reef means the waters here are fairly calm making it a popular destination for families.

Every first and third Saturday of the month the children of the Tandjung Sari Foundation perform a classic Balinese Legong dance, accompanied by a traditional gamelan orchestra of senior musicians, at dinner time in the restaurant.
Room service offers the same menu as the restaurant, allowing for the option of a private dinner in your bungalow, or even breakfast in your bal茅 or on your terrace.
