Guests at The Oasis Lagoon Sanur have complimentary access to a private beach club with lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas a short walk away.
Oasis Lagoon Sanur – Contemporary, with extended pools in an unbeatable spot.
Squeezed into a limited space next to the popular Hardy’s Supermarket, the Oasis is in a prime location for shops and cafés. It doesn’t face the sea but is pleasingly set back from the busy road. All rooms are in four-level buildings overlooking the pool which takes up the entire ground-level area. Rooms are compact and functional, without being overly spacious, and feature an appealing wooden décor that extends to the patios/balconies, which are oddly enclosed on the upper floors. More appealing are the ground-level rooms with patios that open out directly to the main pool. The resort is a block from the sea and has a private beach club nearby.

- Fitness Center: Limited space throughout the resort ensures that the so-called ‘mini-gym’ is undersized.
Oasis Lagoon Sanur – Food and Drink

Oasis Lagoon Sanur – Local Transport
- Walking & Cycling: Walking around Sanur is more pleasant than most places in southern Bali. With flat roads and minimal traffic, cycling is also popular, and bikes can be rented from agencies on the main street. Walking and cycling are ideal along the beachside path that stretches over 6 km, almost the entire length of Sanur.
- Public Transport: Sanur is unique within southern Bali as local bemos (decrepit minivans with bench seats) ply the main street, but won’t go further north than the golf course. Fares are set, but invariably inflated for tourists.
- Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: Driving anywhere in Bali is not recommended, but renting a car is possible at agencies all over Sanur. Motorbikes are also easy to rent and useful for getting around Sanur – less so for elsewhere in southern Bali. Taxis are plentiful, cheap, and comfortable, and the best way to go anywhere in southern Bali. For longer trips, charter a car with a driver. This can be arranged at any travel agency or better, through the hotel.
- Shuttle Bus: To reach any town outside of southern Bali and one that is popular with tourists (e.g. Ubud), buy a ticket at a travel agency for a shuttle bus. Some companies pick up guests from their hotels, but services for Perama, the only island-wide operator, leave from its inconvenient office on Jalan Hang Tuah on the other side of the golf course in northern Sanur. The Kura-Kura Bus company links Sanur with Ubud and the rest of southern Bali, but schedules are convoluted and routes, confusing.
