Location and History

Villa Frangipani is conveniently located in the village of Sanur, twenty minutes from the international airport, the shopping centre and night life of Kuta and the restaurants of Seminyak. It is only a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Sanur has a unique history and here one can get a taste of the real Bali and experience how the Balinese live. Sanur is where troops from the Netherlands first came ashore in 1906 and went to war against the Balinese, who fiercely defended their island against Dutch colonization.

It was here that Le Mayeur, a Belgium artist, made his home in the 1930s. He fell in love with the people and the abundance of nature, which inspired him to paint hundreds of paintings.

By the 1960s, Sanur was the in place. Walter Spies, Sophia Loren and royalty came to stay in Sanur where they were able to keep a low profile and immerse themselves in paradise. In the 1990’s Mick Jagger and his former wife Jerry Hall married in Sanur in a traditional Hindu Balinese ceremony.

Today, Sanur retains its laid-back atmosphere with a few changes for the good. Many new restaurants that offer a wide variety of both Western and Indonesian cuisines have opened. A supermarket, specialty and tourist shops and traditional Balinese massage salons are within easy walking distance of the villa.

Recently, all Sanur beaches have been reclaimed. Tons of sand was brought in from the ocean to replace the sand that had been washed away. The boardwalk was also repaired providing a pleasant beach stroll. The beach at Sanur provides all the water sports facilities that are expected of a tropical beach setting.

The location of Villa Frangipani is within easy access of Ubud, the art capital of Bali and the mountainous region of Mount Kintamani and Lake Batur. The location is within a 5 minutes drive of a 9-hole golf course and two well equipped modern gymnasiums.
