  Thinking about living in Sanur, Bali or planning a move to Bali with your family?In this video, Simone from Our Year in Bali shares what makes Sanur one of the most established and livable coastal areas in Bali, especially popular with families and retirees.Located on Bali’s east coast, around 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport, Sanur is known for its relaxed beach lifestyle, strong expat community, and easy day-to-day living.
