🍽 4. World-Class Restaurants, Shopping & Entertainment

What Sanur once lacked has now flourished:

✔ Major supermarkets & international grocery stores

Grand Lucky and others offer everything seniors need.

✔ Dozens of first-class restaurants

International cuisines at up to 70% less than major tourist destinations worldwide.

✔ The new Icon Mall (opened last year)

One of the most beautiful malls anywhere in Asia.
Yesterday I toured it again with my family—world-class design, cinemas, cafés, and shops.

Dinner for my family was 70% cheaper than in Western resort cities, followed by a Hollywood movie for Rp 60,000 (USD $4.50) per person in a top-class cinema.

✔ Easy, affordable home help

Full-time housekeeper:
👉 3 million IDR per month (~USD $190)

No more dishes. No more cleaning. Total peace of mind.

🚶 5. Sanur’s Walkability Has Been Completely Transformed

Sanur’s 6-kilometer beachfront—one of the most beautiful in the world—now features:

✔ A fully redesigned beach walkway

Safe, smooth, and accessible for seniors, including those who may be sight-impaired.

✔ A separate bicycle lane

No more mixing pedestrians and cyclists.

✔ Sweeping sunrise views

A magical experience every morning.

✔ All sidewalks rebuilt

Governor Koster quietly transformed Sanur:

  • Old sidewalks removed

  • New sidewalks twice as wide

  • Drainage and flood-prevention system upgraded

  • Completion expected soon

This is something even major Western cities have failed to do.

🏥 6. The Final Missing Piece: World-Class Healthcare (Now Solved)

For many years, Sanur had great, affordable general healthcare but lacked facilities for serious medical needs.

That has now changed.

✔ The new Bali International Hospital

Opened only months ago.

During my private inspection, I saw:

  • Two major foreign medical partners:

    • A top Australian medical group

    • Mount Elizabeth Hospital—one of Asia’s finest

  • International specialist doctors

  • Oncology, cardiology, neurology, major surgery

  • Advanced diagnostics (PET scans, CT, MRI)

A friend of mine recently stayed there for two nights—excellent care at a fraction of Singapore’s cost.
PET scans alone are one-third the price.

Sanur now has healthcare retirees can trust.

🌅 7. The Retirement Dream Has Arrived

Everything retirees need is now in place:

  • Affordable villas

  • Senior-friendly beach paths

  • Wide sidewalks

  • Electric shuttle buses

  • Top hospital

  • Low living costs

  • Excellent food

  • Beautiful climate

  • Kind, honest people

  • Strong expat and senior community

Sanur is no longer “up-and-coming.”
It is now the world’s most attractive seaside retirement destination—not just in Bali, not just in Indonesia, but anywhere.
