Sightseeing in Kuta - what to see. Complete travel guide

Kuta was a small village until 1936. Local people were mostly farmers and fishermen. Once, a couple from the United States, the Kokes, was traveling in Bali and visited the poor village. The beautiful Indonesian region deeply impressed them, and so they decided to build several bungalows and offer them for rent for other tourists. Soon after that, one more American girl decided to build a hotel in the village. However, the period of Japanese occupation, which started in 1942, changed all plans. The hotel and bungalows were destroyed.
Where can tourists relax in Kuta? There are four most popular beaches on the coast of the Indian Ocean. The urban village’s beach is the first one. It is widely recognized as one of the best beaches in Indonesia. Every year, gold sand and comfortable wide coast attract thousands of tourists to Kuta. There are many trees near the beach that protect vacationers from the scorching heat. Kuta Beach has a well-developed infrastructure, so this coastal area is suitable not only for leisure sunbathing but also for having fun and participating in various local entertainments.

Legian is another coastal area that is suitable for beach recreation. Situated just north of Kuta, Legian is less crowded. If you are searching for high waves, Legian will not disappoint you. Soft white sand and a comfortable area for swimming only add popularity to this beach. There are sun umbrellas and loungers available for rent.

Kuta Theater welcomes residents and guests of the resort every evening. It regularly offers fantastic and colorful shows with the Balinese lights. All performances include pleasant music and traditional dances. Impressive visual effects turn the performances of the theatre’s actors into unforgettable shows, each of which lasts approximately one hour. Even if you are not a connoisseur of theater arts, these performances will not leave you indifferent.
