sport and relaxation. For thrill seekers, the opportunities

beach breaks for beginners at Kuta, to the awesome swells
at Uluwatu and Nusa Lembongan, which regularly attract
the world’s most adventurous surfers.
The beach of Kuta is one of the first favorite beaches
discovered by tourist.
On the south, the beach is fenced by the airport's runway,
which gives you a breathtaking landing experience. The
beach stretches as far north as the eyes can see.

your surfing.

is readily available to take you from and to Kuta to and
from anywhere else in Bali. Along the north of Kuta, Legian
street offers a number of high quality boutiques, excellent
restaurants, cafes and bars influenced by western style.

alternative health professionals will work hard to help
you achieve the perfect state of equilibrium as you lie
on the beach or the massage table. With excellent spa
facilities, a full range of natural treatments are available
for both men and women.
Nor does the fun stop when the sunsets.
Kuta’s bars and discos offer something for everyone,
from quiet, open air-bars near the beach where you can
have a soothing drink before bed as you gaze at the stars
or into the eyes of your lover and let the sound of the
surf wash over you, to elegant hotel lounges where you
can enjoy a grasshopper or an Irish coffee, to rollicking,
raunchy beer barns that are very much designed with young
singles in mind. So what are you waiting for?
