Bali Beach Hotel

If you’ve ever wanted to stay somewhere bursting with history, charm, and beachfront comfort, Bali Beach Hotel is it. Opened in 1966 by President Sukarno as the island’s first internationally standard resort, it instantly became a symbol of Bali’s tourism boom and remains the tallest hotel on the island.

The setting can’t be beaten—right on Sanur’s sunrise coast, with immediate access to white sand and gentle ocean breezes. There are two spacious pools, lush tropical gardens, and plenty of loungers scattered around for sun dips or fresh coconut breaks .

Inside, the lobby’s high ceilings, warm timber finishes, and soft water features nod to its heritage roots while feeling airy and current . Choose from bright, clean rooms and suites with ocean or garden views—reviews praise the comfy beds, neat bathrooms, and spot-on service.

There are two restaurants on-site (Arunika and Roso) serving everything from breakfast buffets to international favourites, and the food gets consistently good reviews. Extras include a fitness centre, spa, kids’ club, free Wi‑Fi and parking, even an in-house convention centre if you’re travelling with a group .

Guests often highlight the staff as the true stars—their warmth and attentiveness make the stay feel personal and gracious . Yes, the décor is a little dated in places, but it’s all part of the charm—and the hotel is currently undergoing a heritage revival to freshen up while staying true to its roots.

If you want a beachfront stay that weaves heritage and comfort seamlessly, with enough modern perks to keep you happy, Bali Beach Hotel is a classic choice in Sanur.
