For a more traditional experience, families can learn about local culture by visiting one of Kuta’s sacred temples or the Kuta Art Market.

Exploring Kuta’s Surrounds

In the northern region of Kuta is low-key Legian, a coastal town with a quieter beach and equally great surf. A little further up the coast lies trendy Seminyak, which is studded with upmarket-fashion and homeware shops, chic bars and glitzy restaurants.

South Kuta is home to the idyllic shores of Nusa Dua Beach on the east coast, as well as the picture-perfect Uluwatu Temple in the south, which is set on a magnificent cliff overlooking the ocean. An hour-long ferry trip will take visitors to Nusa Penida, an island off southern Bali’s east coast, and its even tinier neighbour, Nusa Lembongan, which is popular for its coral reefs and bohemian beach cafes.
