HOTELS IN BALI
KUTA AREA
Bali's famous surf beach is now known for its shopping
& exciting nightlife. True to its surf heritage Kuta
has many small, inexpensive hotels as well as larger hotels
with all the bells & whistles.
To the north of the Bukit peninsula is the popular beach
resort of Kuta. Its claim to fame owes much to two things:
its beach (originally Bali's best) and the sunset. The
beach front is now host to star hotels, except for Legian
and Seminyak, where much of the social scene is now centered.
The main shops are located along Legian street.
Beach bungalows first opened in Kuta in the 1930's. But
mass tourism did not start here until the late 60's when
it became known as a hippie haven. Kuta soon boomed. The
bamboo beach bungalows were turned into losmen, then into
hotels. T-shirt sold on the beach were replaced by a thriving
garment and handicraft industry. The hippies either left
of struck it rich, and Kuta has become one of the most
dynamic places in Indonesia, a place to encounter new
ideas and lifestyles and a place to experience all manner
of pleasures.
