Kuta Bali

Kuta Sunset

 Kuta Beach and Roundabouts

Kuta, one of the main tourist destination in Bali. Kuta is well known by its beach, shops, night clubs, cheap hotels and lifestyle.
I decided to stay here since 2010 'til now. And years by years this place continues to develop its own identity, to be a great melting pot of people around the world.
it only takes 10 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport to the beach. never have any worries that you won't be welcomed. ever since you arrived at the airport, Taxi drivers, Ojek (Public Transport by bike)
Waiting for the sunset
or some guys with sun glasses will greet you and offer you transport service (it's a warm welcome, isn't it?). it's all yours, just make up your choice fast (sometimes they won't wait) cause Kuta has tons of choices, and don't forget to bargain & bargain.
Along the road you will discover shops, spas, hotels, cafes, pubs, everything you want is available 24/7. but sometimes everything which is available might not comfort you. over crowded population, noisy environments and traffic jams are common here. you might have to get used to it :D
soonest your feet step on the beach, everything surrounds you, surfboard rent, sellers, tattoo artist, even you will find ladies who offers you a massage & hair-do (crazy isn't it?)
the crowds often gather here for the sunset, they wait all day long for this one. but if you might consider yourself wouldn't be fully comfortable to just sit on the beach. Kuta provides you lots of restaurants beside the beach. there are Rosso Vivo (italian resto), Hard Rock Cafe (with their famous balcony view) or just throw yourself to
McDonald's (there's McCafe, with well cappucino & ice cream)
Kuta Square full of shops


when the night comes by, the mainstream always flairs to night clubs in Legian Street / Jalan Legian (just 10 minutes from the beach). they arrange party all night long & there's no entrance ticket for tourist (but local will be charged around 5 USD). There are 2 most famous night clubs in Jalan Legian, they are Sky Garden & Bounty. it's easy to spot those 2 night clubs, Sky Garden is quite like a complex with tall modern building (beside the Ground  Zero)
and Bounty is quite like an amusement park from outside with lots of flags & banners. they always have lots of guests. they hold the party from 9pm 'til 3am & they're likely closed at noon.

that kid with red shirt thinks like I do :D
Kuta always offers you different choices, and the choice is always yours. it never waits what you want to decide, but it always has their own identity. 
bit of a suggestion, you might have to stay a little bit longer here, cause Kuta always gives you a surprise & "wonderful sightseeing"
