Exciting news for wellness enthusiasts and medical tourists! The Indonesian National Council for Special Economic Zones has recently announced that Sanur is now among the top five destinations in Indonesia dedicated to health and lifestyle.
Sanur Achievement: A New Era of Wellness
Sanur has attracted over IDR 2.29 trillion in investments, and it’s gearing up to fully operational by 2025, transforming the area into a global hub for medical tourism and wellness facilities catering to medical tourists, expats, and Indonesian residents opting for private care.
In a statement released this week, Rizal Edwin, the Acting Secretary General of the National Special Economic Zone Council, expressed enthusiasm about the project, saying, “The Sanur Special Economic Zone is now ready to operate in less than three years.” This reflects the optimism surrounding Sanur’s potential.
A Pioneering Health Zone
Sanur holds the distinction of being Indonesia’s first Special Economic Zone focused on health, ranking fourth overall and second in the services category. It’s not just another development; it’s a visionary approach to healthcare in a tropical paradise.
Fostering a Healing Environment
One of Sanur’s primary goals is to provide medical tourists with a healing environment where they can receive essential care and take their time to recover. Imagine being able to have a medical procedure and then retreating to a serene space designed to promote healing and rejuvenation.
To support this vision, Sanur is also developing wellness services, alongside a variety of lifestyle amenities, including shopping malls and entertainment facilities. This ensures that visitors can enjoy everything Bali offers during their stay, whether for a short getaway or a more extended period.
With construction starting in December 2021, The Sanur has employed over 2,800 workers, culminating in a major phase of development. Among these projects is the Bali International Hospital, set to open in early 2025, specializing in areas ranging from oncology to cardiology.
A Bright Future for Medical Tourism in Bali
As the Sanur Special Economic Zone approaches completion, it positions Bali against regional competitors like Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore in the medical tourism arena. Historically, Bali has attracted tourists for dental care and basic optometry. But with the emergence of Sanur, it’s poised to elevate its status dramatically.
The Sanur will not only feature the Bali International Hospital but also a range of international clinics and private physicians providing a comprehensive array of medical services. These include cutting-edge offerings such as cell therapy clinics, aesthetic surgery, fertility treatments, and hair restoration, all aimed at enhancing the wellness experience for visitors.
Guests can expect a seamless journey from airport pick-up to accommodation, medical appointments, and recovery—all managed from one exceptional location. It’s a concept that reflects a holistic approach to wellness and care, making it easier for patients to focus on their recovery.
Luxury and Comfort Abound
The Sanur will feature two major five-star hotels and luxurious villas, ensuring comfort for everyone. There are also expansive exhibition halls capable of hosting medical conferences and summits, solidifying its status as a leading destination for health tourism.
One of the beautiful aspects of this development is that it won’t detract from the existing Sanur resorts, which will continue to offer their laid-back charm and family-friendly ambiance on Bali’s idyllic coastline.
Community and Traffic Management Efforts
As tourism traffic increases, local leaders are proactively discussing traffic management strategies to ensure that the influx benefits visitors and the surrounding communities. This foresight helps maintain the quality of life for residents while enhancing the visitor experience.
In summary, Sanur is not just bringing new facilities and services to Bali; it’s redefining the very experience of medical tourism. Whether you’re seeking medical care, wellness, or simply the tranquility of Bali’s splendid landscapes, Sanur is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a holistic approach to health and lifestyle.
