It is often confusing when you mention the word from Kuta. Just try to do a Google search and it will return at least a hundred different restaurants and hotels. Officially, Google is right. After all, Kuta is actually the name of a district in Kuta Bali, covering a total area of 17.52 km2. But the heart of Kuta - where all the emotions occur, children build their sand castle, the novices are picking up the surf - extends about 1 km long.
Kuta Bali
Kuta Bali
The line of Kuta beach area is segmented into three parts - Tuban Beach, Kuta Beach and Legian Beach. So the next time you head to Kuta Bali, make sure you go. As the name suggests, Kuta Beach is "central" beach, accessible from Jalan Raya Pantai Kuta. In recent decades, Kuta Beach has evolved into the magnet central Bali. When you enter Jalan Raya Pantai Kuta, you will be greeted by the Hard Rock hotel. With its aggressive marketing in places like Singapore, many beginners who come to Bali for a short 3 days 2 nights gateway think Hard Rock is the best that Bali has to offer. As you walk down the street (Jalan Raya Pantai Kuta), you'll find Harris followed by Mercure Hotels. Personally, I think these three hotels are comparable. The view from the pool of Mercury is unbeatable. As you continue to walk the streets, you can find variety of dining choices - from Pizza Hut to McDonalds, the Nanxiang restaurant offering fine Chinese cuisine for dinner offering Rosso Vivo and experience show.
If you prefer something that is low budget but great taste, there is a food court in the center of Jalan Raya Pantai Kuta. You can get seafood Traditional Chinese Indonesian western dishes. Just be prepared to be aggressively courted by vendors stall. They will not force you to buy, just politely tell them that you want to look around first before deciding on your choice.
As you continue down the road, a few more decent hotels - Grand Istana Rama Kuta Seaview Cottages Kuta Bali Hotel - add to your list of accommodation choices. Choose one of these hotels (along the main street) only if you plan to spend your whole day doing nothing other than hanging out at Kuta Beach. Otherwise, small (but not less than descent) hotels and hostels offer budget alternatives to the environment.
Kuta Beach
Hundreds of thousands of tourists annually visit the beach of Kuta. Absent from any disaster or major disruption, the beach is crowded during the year. It is a place where many Balinese (and migrants of the earth as far away as Java and Sumatra) depends on their life.
What you can do. At Kuta Beach, there is much you can do. You can just bring your own towel or sarong (or buy one if you do not provide), it was lying on the sand and begin your tanning treatment. If you want something hassle-free, you can rent a range of awnings and even wood or a plastic chair (if you do not sit on the sand). If you are a little more adventurous, you can sign up for a surfing lesson, which covers a little theory and practice. After all, the Kuta beach used to be a favorite surfing destination. Today, because of the crowd, advanced surfers are forced to seek a green pasture. Or if you want to know how it feels like a queen for a day of Kuta, you can choose one of the area under the tree. Sit on the towel or chair. Pamper yourself from head to toe. Hair braiding than your cost between U.S. $ 2-5, depending on the number of nodes that you do (and of course your negotiating skills). Tattoo cost you between U.S. $ 2-3 and it lasts two weeks. Manicure and pedicure cost $ 5-10 each. Back shoulder massage or foot reflexology costs U.S. $ 3-5 for 90 minutes each. (Have covered everything from head to toe? I hope I did not miss a thing)
After a Royal Queen and you begin to feel hungry, you can try some of the stalls. It is soft rojak (Javanese style), Nasi Padang (Sumatra), Nasi Uduk (Jakarta), bakso (Obama says it's delicious). When you are thirsty, give the Botola (bottled iced tea) a try. But be warned that these stalls do not come with a guarantee of hygiene. So try them at your own risk if you think your stomach can work with your taste buds.
Just sitting by one of the stands, enjoying the gentle sea breezes and watch people of all kinds - age, race, nationality and fashion - make my day. In the evening you can sit back, relax and watch the sun disappears from the horizon.
With so much to see, do, try to discover it is not surprising to Kuta is probably one of the most famous beaches in the world.
