There are paved footpath connected to all these coasts that can be places for a great morning jogging and scenic cycling.

Le Mayeur Museum

Before becoming a museum, this is the former home of noted Belgian impressionist Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merpres. He arrived in Bali in 1932, and married the beautiful Legong dancer Ni Polok three years later, when she was just 15. They lived in this compound back when Sanur was still a quiet fishing village. After the artist’s death, Ni Polok lived in the house until she died in 1985

The house is an interesting example of Balinese-style architecture. Notice the beautifully carved window shutters that recount the story of Rama and Sita from the Ramayana. The museum also has a naturalistic Balinese interior of woven fibres.
