i agree that Sanur beach has a very romantic panoramic view.. no doubt for it.

it just a matter how the hotel has to manage the garbage from the river upstream.

i am currently assisting 4 hotel developments throughout bali (sanur, bukit, jimbaran and ubud). soon there will be more hotels i will assist in Bali (nusa dua, kuta, karang asem and turtle island)..

bali will become more attractive with those new branded hotels, including the big brand from USA

in Bali you walk on the beach, and no walk more romantic than Sanur, and you swim in the pool, therefore the previous comments on water quality make no sense to me. With Ferragamo coming to Bali, they will surely add another jewel to Bali’s crown of top top fantastic Hotels. Unlike the Bulgari, which lacks style and sensitivity for Bali’s heritage, Ferragamo’s legendary taste for beauty and style will be a unique addition to Bali’s image.

I wondered about the river effluence, too. Not only the sea water but also the beaches must be affected. In the rainy season, the river will bring down all of the garbage from upstream, which will wash up on the beaches.

You’re probably right that the Bukit would make more sense. Could be a neighbour to Bulgari. Then invite Versace to make a hotel there, too. Then Gucci, Pucci and Fiorucci. It would be like a large theme park: LuxuryLabelLand.

The site is not too fantastic because the sea water is affected by the river near the site.

Ferragammo should open the hotel at the Bukit area where all the big brands are present.

Phuket of course has the Aman resorts and the Four Seasons, VERY pricy, but if you can afford it none better. Katie Yacht
