Location & Access

Genius Cafe sits a bit off the beaten path in Sanur, along the beach near the Mercure hotel.

If you're getting there by Grab or Gojek, a motorbike taxi is your best bet.

Vehicles can't drive right up to the café, so you'll hop off at the beachside promenade and walk the rest of the way.

Sanur, effortlessly comfortable

On a side note, that promenade is a fantastic spot for a stroll.

If you're in Sanur, it's worth walking it at least once — beautiful at dusk, but also stunning in the early morning when the sun rises over the water.
