La Taverna is a small comfortable hotel right on the beach in the heart of Sanur, the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Of the resorts in Bali Sanur is famous for its beautiful beach which fringes a blue lagoon and further out waves crash on the reef edge. La Taverna is a traditional Balinese style hotel with bungalows set in beautiful lush gardens. It has a swimming pool and restaurant which nestle beneath the palms overlooking the beach. The staff are traditional Balinese people, world famous for their smiling faces and gentle manner. This is the old Bali, the Bali that has built a reputation for being paradise on earth, the island of the Gods.

La Taverna was one of the first hotels built in Bali. Its owners selected one of the best locations on the island and in the years that followed Sanur grew up as the first resort area of Bali. In those early days La Taverna became recognized as a luxury hotel where many famous people wined and dined. The restaurant gained a high reputation for its fine cuisine with an emphasis on Italian food. These days La Taverna is situated right on the main street in the heart of Sanur but with a large driveway and mature gardens the hotel has retained its original concept of privacy and tranquility. Little has changed over the years including the restaurant and its reputation for fine food and excellent service. Culinary skills have been handed down.
