We Love
- The family angle — where most Bali villa resorts court couples, this one adds extra bedrooms to its villas and lays on children's cooking and kite-making classes, built for families.
- The villas — just 11, unusually large at 400 to 800 square metres with their own pools, a legacy of the property's beginnings as long-stay houses for expatriates.
- The layout — arranged as a traditional Balinese village, the villas linked by a stone path winding under the trees, on a scale that keeps each one private.
- The service — a 24-hour butler, breakfast at any hour, afternoon tea and a daily-restocked minibar, in the all-in Kayumanis style, plus the famous cinnamon cookies.
- The setting — Sanur, Bali's original and most laid-back beach town, calmer than the busy south, with the resort's own beach facility a short shuttle away.

Expert Review
Origins
Kayumanis Sanur began, around fifteen years ago, as a set of houses leased to expatriates living in Bali. The model never quite took off, but it left an unexpected legacy: villas and pools far larger than a resort would normally build, made for people settling in rather than passing through. Today that translates into 11 private-pool villas of 400 to 800 square metres, among the most spacious you will find at this size of property.
It is the smallest of the four Bali Kayumanis resorts, and the one built for families. Where the group's Ubud and Nusa Dua siblings are adults-only and squarely aimed at couples, Sanur adds extra bedrooms to its villas — two- and three-bedroom options alongside the one-bedrooms — and lays on children's cooking and kite-making classes. The whole resort is arranged as a traditional Balinese village, the villas connected by a stone path that winds beneath the trees, each walled into its own garden for privacy, with a 24-hour butler and the all-in Kayumanis approach throughout.
The setting is Sanur itself, which is part of the appeal. Bali's first proper beach town, it is the island's most laid-back and genteel — old-Bali calm rather than the noise of the south — long favoured by a returning, often older crowd. The resort is not on the beach, but runs a shuttle to its own beach facility on Sanur's sheltered white sand, where it lays on loungers and picnic lunches. Dining is at Gong, an upmarket Balinese restaurant in an open-air pavilion, and the name Kayumanis — cinnamon — turns up where you would expect it, in the freshly baked cookies left in the villas and cars.
Top Secret
Eat the cookies. The freshly baked cinnamon cookies left in your villa and in the resort's cars are a small house signature, and a genuinely good one — tell your butler how much you liked them and you may well be sent home with a couple of beautifully packed boxes. It is a small thing, but it captures how the place works: warm, personal, and quietly generous beyond what you asked for.
The Review
Kayumanis Sanur is the smallest and most family-friendly of the four Bali Kayumanis resorts, and that combination is its niche. Where the Ubud and Nusa Dua siblings are adults-only and built for couples, Sanur is geared to families — extra bedrooms in the villas, children's cooking and kite classes — while keeping the group's hallmark privacy, space and all-in service. With just 11 villas, it feels more like a private compound than a hotel.
The villas are the draw: 400 to 800 square metres, walled for privacy, each with a large pool, a legacy of the property's start as long-stay expatriate houses. Service follows the Kayumanis pattern — a 24-hour butler, breakfast at any hour, afternoon tea, the cinnamon cookies — and dining at Gong, the Balinese restaurant, is well regarded. The whole resort, laid out as a village along a winding stone path, has an intimate, residential feel.
The setting suits the brief. Sanur is the calmest and most old-fashioned of Bali's beach towns, low-key and unflashy, which makes it a relaxed family base even if it lacks the drama of Ubud or the gloss of the south; note too that the resort is not beachfront, but shuttles guests to its own facility on Sanur Beach. For families who want villa space, privacy and butlered ease in a quiet corner of Bali, Kayumanis Sanur is one of the few genuine luxury options pitched at them rather than at couples.
