Sanur is truly magical after sunset. The last light of the day burns with a soft brilliance, and in the afterglow the clouds and the sea often reflect the rosy glow that promises good weather on the following day. Gamelan music echoes on the sea breeze from groups honing their skills. Traditional dance performances are to be seen in a number of restaurants and hotels. The Hyatt's Piano Bar is a cozy enclave. Elegant nightspots like the Bali Hai Supper Club on the rooftop of the Bali Beach Hotel and the sumptuous Matahari discotheque at the Bali Hyatt offer dancing and entertainment till the wee hours.
