Kuta, once a sleepy fishing village until half a century ago, was discovered by travellers from Asia and wandering surfers from nearby Australia.
Although most of the serious surfers have moved on to newer areas, mainly on the southern tip of the island, all the way up the westcoast, or even to Lombok, Kuta still has preserved its repuptation of a nonchalant – easy living – daydreamer’s paradise where the bohemian meets up peacefully with the comfort-seeking multinational package tourist frequenting the more fancy resort hotels.
This is the centre of the disco- and beer-hall scene, but also a shopper’s paradise with posh malls, hip boutiques for the fashionista and literally thousands of souvenir shops, Kuta manages to please a wide range of tastes and expectations at the same time.
Stretching north from Kuta, Legian is comparably more on the quiet side, especially the closer you get to bordering Seminyak. Tuban, or more commonly called South Kuta, over the past few years has become a prime resort area and a favourite amongst families with a good variety of shops, restaurants and family entertainment establishments (bowling, waterpark etc).
