Denpasar
Puri Santrian
Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia
Situated on the white-sand beach of Sanur, the Puri Santrian is a quiet hotel just 15 minutes from the village center. Overlooking either the tropical gardens or the ocean, the 182 guestrooms are furnished with tiled floors, all-white bedding, and dark wood accents. The property also includes three pools, beachfront daybeds, floating ocean pavilions, and a Seawalker helmet that enables guests to walk on the ocean floor. Two restaurants serve seafood and Asian-Western fusion, and the hotel also hosts a weekly Balinese banquet with traditional food and dancing. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the on-site spa offers two-for-one massages.
Room to Book:
Although slightly more expensive, the bungalow rooms are much quieter and more spacious than other room types, making them well worth the extra cost.
Insider Tip:
The hotel's exchange rate is better than most in town; go just after noon to ensure there is enough money to cash traveler's checks.
