Location Guide

If there’s one word to describe Kuta, it is “fun”. Some people might find it overwhelming and a little bit crowded but the sights, scents and quirky features of the neighborhood add to its unique ambience and character. Kuta was where it all began all those years ago, back in the 1970s when the first group of adventurous surfers found their way to its pristine sandy shores to ride the challenging waves and bask in the Kuta sun.

KUTA NEIGHBORHOOD

The neighborhood has grown since then and what was once a quiet fishing town filled with wooden huts, alang-alang roofs and waving coconut trees is now a booming play town for both tourists and locals.

Kuta retains some of its original charms which can easily be found in its many narrow streets and alleys. Despite its incredible growth and the presence of monolith hotels, malls and traffic, the town manages to retain its original essence and soul, which can be easily found if one took the time to look closely.
Kuta is the only place in South Bali - aside from Sanur and Legian - to still offer gorgeous, antique villas, hotels and homes from the early years. Some are beautifully maintained, some not so, but this only adds to its appeal. A few days or weeks in Kuta can be just like going back in time, especially for those who love to meander and discover.

There are restaurants, cafes and hotels and bars here that have withstood the test of time such as Kopi Pot and Warung Made. These are almost historical establishments with a fascinating and proud history which are proudly displayed on walls via faded photography and signed memorabilia. There are also shops, inns and warungs dating back to the early 90s and with the owners and staff who wear the same friendly welcoming smile that they wore all those years ago.

Needless to say, Kuta’s charm is irresistible. Its occupants add fascinating textures to its character. Just a few minutes away is its sister town Legian, the “entertainment capital” with non-stop partying, music, shopping and great food and drinks.
It is a town that welcomes everybody from all walks of life. There is no dress code, no appearance to maintain - you can come as you are and you’ll be welcomed with a smile. Most notably, Kuta is the ultimate sunset destination in South Bali, for the most spectacular blazing red, pink and purple skies every day at sundown.
