April to October (dry season) for sunnier days and calmer seas; shoulder months like May and September offer fewer crowds.

Tropical climate — warm and humid year-round. Dry season (April–October) is sunnier; wet season (November–March) brings short heavy showers and occasional storms.

Nearest airport: Ngurah Rai International Airport (Denpasar) — about 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic. Sanur is well-served by taxis and ride-hailing apps; local bemos (minivans) and buses run limited routes. Sanur is flat and walkable; the beachfront path is bicycle-friendly.
