Don’t expect less because of its location – Sanur is loaded with stores, boutiques, antiquities, art shops, and much more. Its development into a site for top rated hotels and properties has affected the value and exclusivity of the commodities. The shopping area in Sanur is divided between three main roads; Jalan Tamblingan, Jalan Mertasari, and By Pass Ngurah Rai. By Pass Ngurah Rai is mainly just a highway that connects Bali’s main towns such as Nusa Dua, Kuta, Denpasar, and Sanur.
It is populated with mostly wood based art galleries, selling a range of products from antique teak doors to dining furniture sets. Tamblingan Street and the lengthy Mertasari Street are a haven for pedestrians and shopaholics as they are jam-packed with art shops, boutiques, retailers, and cafés. So put on your most comfortable outfit and head out for a stroll.

The pearl is the only gem that is extracted from an actual living organism. This process requires a certain period of time – to achieve its perfect shimmering best, a pearl oyster naturally takes four years to cast layered nacre into a single pearl. For those who want to experience both leisure and education, Atlas South Sea Pearl farm at Penyambangan Village, Buleleng regency in northern Bali is a perfect eco-trip to see the natural and environment-friendly husbandry as their commitment to preserve nature’s most precious gift.
This widely expanded company remains focused on certain types of pearl - white, silver, and south sea gold. Their premier store is located on the southern side of Dewa Ruci roundabout.

They sell similar item of art and handicraft but the price and quality are varied. And you are expected to bring cash and do bargain. On the other side of the road, you will also notice few outlets of local famous brand such as uluwatu which sell Balinese embroidery clothes or Mama Leon (another fashion boutique for women and men).
