Sanur’s Health Special Economic Zone (SEZ) has been recognized as one of the top five destinations in Indonesia, marking a significant milestone for the area’s transformation into a premier health and wellness tourism hub. With an investment exceeding IDR 2.29 trillion, the zone spans 41 hectares along Sanur’s picturesque beachfront and is on track to be fully operational by 2025.
Sanur's Special Economic Zone Rated Among Indonesia’s Top 5 Health and Lifestyle Destinations
This innovative development is the first Special Economic Zone in Indonesia dedicated entirely to health. Ranked fourth overall and second in the services category nationwide, it highlights the potential of Sanur to become a leader in integrated healthcare and wellness services. The zone combines state-of-the-art medical facilities with luxury lifestyle offerings, catering to medical tourists, expatriates, and Indonesian residents seeking advanced healthcare and rejuvenation in a serene setting.
Sanur's SEZ was designed with a focus on providing a seamless, holistic experience for visitors. From world-class healthcare services to diverse wellness and lifestyle facilities, it ensures that guests’ needs are fully met. Beyond medical care, the area will feature shopping malls, entertainment venues, and other conveniences to enhance the overall experience for short- and long-term visitors alike.
A key component of the zone is the Bali International Hospital, set to open its doors in early 2025. This advanced medical facility will offer specialized treatments in oncology, cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, and other critical areas. It will also pave the way for international clinics and private practices to operate within the zone, providing cutting-edge services such as cell therapy, fertility treatments, plastic surgery, and hair transplants. These offerings are expected to redefine Bali’s role as a global destination for medical tourism.
The seamless integration of services is a defining feature of Sanur. SEZ Visitors will benefit from a streamlined process that includes airport transfers, accommodations, medical appointments, and recovery—all managed from a centralized hub. This cohesive approach ensures a stress-free experience for medical tourists, allowing them to focus on healing and relaxation.
The development is complemented by luxurious accommodations, including two five-star hotels and exclusive villa complexes designed for comfort and privacy. Exhibition halls with a capacity of up to 5,000 attendees will serve as venues for international medical conferences and summits, further establishing Sanur as a hub for innovation and collaboration in healthcare and wellness.
Situated along the coastal villlage's tranquil beachfront, Sanur’s SEZ offers breathtaking views and a peaceful environment, ideal for recovery and rejuvenation. The natural beauty of the location enhances the appeal of The Sanur, blending modern infrastructure with Bali’s signature charm.
The development of The Sanur represents a significant leap forward for Bali’s medical tourism industry, which has traditionally focused on affordable dental care, basic optometry services, and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. With the introduction of advanced healthcare and wellness services, Bali is set to compete with established medical tourism destinations such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.
Despite its modern advancements, Sanur aims to complement, rather than disrupt, the existing charm of the area. The original Sanur resort community will remain a laid-back, family-friendly vacation spot, known for its safe-to-swim beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Leaders are actively implementing traffic management strategies to minimize disruptions for both residents and tourists navigating the Denpasar area.
With its anticipated full opening by 2025, Sanur Special Economic Zone is poised to elevate Bali’s global profile as a leader in health and lifestyle tourism. Combining cutting-edge healthcare with a luxurious and serene environment, Sanur is set to deliver an unmatched experience that redefines the possibilities of medical and wellness travel.
