Kuta Beach,Bali,Indonesia.
Kuta is a tourist area, administratively an urban village (kelurahan), and the capital of Kuta District, Badung Regency, southern Bali, Indonesia. A former fishing village, it was one of the first towns on Bali to see substantial tourist development, and as a beach resort remains one of Indonesia's major tourist destinations. It is known internationally for its long sandy beach, varied accommodation, many restaurants and bars, and many renowned surfers who visit from Australia. It is located near Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport.
Kuta is mentioned in "I've Been To Bali Too", the single by Australian folk-rock band Redgum from their 1984 album Frontline. It is also home to an Indonesian punk rock band Superman Is Dead, most famous for its English song "Kuta Rock City.
đźš— Get There
Denpasar International Airport (DPS) is about 15 minutes away from Kuta by taxi. The standard prepaid fare from the airport costs 50,000 IDR. However, if you walk away from the airport you can find non-airport taxis (that are still metered) that will do the trip for about half of that — around 20,000 IDR. Since that’s only a savings of around $1.75 USD, you might as well just go with the standard airport taxi.
You can also catch a bus from outside the airport for around 4,000 IDR, but again it will take much longer and be much less convenient when compared to what you’re saving.
If you’re coming from Ubud you can take a bus for around 80,000 IDR each way. There are several departures from Ubud to Kuta daily, and the journey will take around an hour (the journey is only around 35km but traffic can be bad the roads sometimes flood during the rainy season).
