Absolute Beachfront - a location unparalleled...
Tucked between a five star hotel and an ancient temple, the 60-metre frontage of Villa Cemara edges the golden sands of Bali's oldest beach resort.
At Cemara Beach, relaxation, water sports and local life intermingle like shuffled cards. Morning beachcombers watch dive boats heading out to the offshore island of Nusa Penida, where upsurging currents bring mola-mola and other rare sea creatures.
As sun worshippers settle into their lounges, fisherman in pandanus hats wade into the shallows with lines and nets, windsurfers skim past and parasailors glide overhead. A kilometre out, silver waves break over the reef that shelters Sanur from undertows and crashing surf.
Now and then, processions wind across the sands as local families and communities hold ceremonies at the water's edge or at tiny temples shaded by sea almonds and coconut palms. After dark, the sound of gamelan practice mixes with western music from scattered café's, candles glow on restaurant tables and the lamps of the night fishermen shine beneath the stars.
