Andaz Bali review — who it's for, best room, local notes | Moments

Curator verdict

A village-style resort on Sanur's calm beachfront, built around a shared lagoon pool and a food-court-style dining square that reviewers call reasonably priced for a resort. The beach itself is unremarkable by Bali standards and the airport is about 30 minutes away, but it's an easy, walkable base for a first, gentle stretch of a Bali trip.

Read the full take

Andaz Bali reads as a modern take on a Balinese village: low-rise blocks around courtyards and a shared lagoon pool that some rooms step straight into, on Sanur's beachfront. Village Square does the heavy lifting for food — four counters (Indonesian, Mediterranean, Korean barbecue, a deli) at prices reviewers call reasonable for a resort — while Fisherman's Club handles a sit-down seafood dinner by the water.

Three pools cover most of the resort's water time, including an ocean-view aerial pool; the adult pool itself is on the smaller side, with no jacuzzi or waterslide. Sanur's beach here follows the area's usual pattern: calm and unremarkable rather than a postcard swimming beach, which is why the pools carry more of the day than the sand does. Kemu Mai Kids Club and Camp Hyatt run activities for ages 6-12, and a lagoon-access room puts the pool right outside the door for families who want it.

It's about 30 minutes from the airport, further than the Jimbaran hotels. Meal plan varies by rate. A shopping street sits right behind the property, and Sanur's night market and the harbour for Nusa Penida boats (booked separately) are both a short walk along the same beach.

Book it if…

First-timers wanting calm — Village-style layout, lagoon-access rooms, no big crowds.
Families with school-age kids — Kemu Mai Kids Club and Camp Hyatt run activities for ages 6-12.
Value-minded diners — Village Square's four counters are priced reasonably for a resort.

Skip it if…

Beach purists — Sanur's sand here isn't a swimming beach; use the pools instead.
Big-pool loungers — Three pools, but the main adult pool is on the smaller side.
Pet owners — Pets aren't permitted anywhere on the property.

Know before you book

Guests describe the adult pool as smaller than expected for a resort this size, with no jacuzzi or waterslide.
→ Use the ocean-view aerial pool for the view and treat pool time as a shorter stop, not the day's main event.
Sanur's beach here isn't really a swimming beach — reviewers call the sand and water underwhelming next to west-coast Bali.
→ Book a lagoon-access or pool-view room and rely on the pools; save the beach for a morning walk instead.
It's about 30 minutes from the airport, further than the Jimbaran hotels closer to arrivals.
→ Budget the extra transfer time, especially on a late-night arrival with young kids.

Our second stay within 4 months - love it.
Beautiful resort, well maintained, quiet and luxurious
— Great for relaxing but not a lot of ‘vibe’ otherwise. No music or activities at the pool for instance. Everything else is great.

Questions before you book

Is Andaz Bali adults-only?

No. It runs the Kemu Mai Kids Club, Camp Hyatt and Little Chef cooking classes for ages 6-12. The one restriction that applies to everyone: pets aren't permitted on the property.

What is the beach like, and can you swim there?

It's a beachfront Sanur property with a village-style layout, but the sea here is calm rather than a swimming draw — reviewers rate the sand and water as unremarkable. The three pools, including an ocean-view aerial pool, are the more reliable water.

How far is the hotel from the airport?

About 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport, per the hotel's own transportation page. Ask about transfer arrangements when you book, and note meal plan varies by rate.

Which room should I book?

Room, 1 King Bed (Lagoon Access) for the terrace-to-pool setup at 76 sqm. King Room is the value pick, the same standard category at 51 sqm without lagoon access.

What's nearby, and can I walk anywhere?

Yes — a shopping street sits right behind the hotel, Cafe Batu Jimbar is a short walk up the same road, and Pasar Sindhu's evening food stalls (Friday-Sunday) are about 10 minutes on foot. Sanur Harbour, for boats to Nusa Penida and Lembongan booked separately, is along the same stretch of beach.
