Each launch is accompanied by the sound of gamelan music and cheers from the crowd.

SANUR VILLAGE FESTIVAL
Date of event: around October 2025
Sanur is known for its creative energy, and the Sanur Village Festival is the heartbeat of that spirit. Each October, the festival comes alive at Mertasari Beach, where visitors can enjoy a colorful mix of culinary bazaars, art exhibitions, live music, and traditional performances.
Beyond the main event, October is also a wonderful time to explore Sanur’s beachfront. The festive atmosphere lingers on with vibrant decorations, local warungs serving special dishes, and music drifting from seaside cafés.
For those staying with us, it’s the perfect chance to experience Sanur beyond the guidebooks—slower, more intimate, and filled with genuine community warmth.
