World-famous, with good reason, Kuta is the jewel in the crown of the Bali surfing experience. Widely known as one of the best surfing beaches in the world, Kuta is a popular tourist hub to the south of Bali, famous for its food, entertainment and shopping, but above all for its world-class surfing beach.

Once upon a time a tiny fishing village, Kuta was discovered by surfers decades ago, and has since developed a reputation as one of the great surfing destinations. Featuring a long, curved beach facing onto the Indian Ocean, Kuta is a clean, safe surf-spot with a range of varied surfing conditions to suit every surfing holiday-seeker. From easy stretches of mild surf for the beginner, to more challenging breaks for the hardened surf veteran, and everything in-between, Kuta and its neighbouring beach areas Legian and Seminyak has everything the surf-seeking vacationer could ask for, no matter what their skill level.

For the novice boardrider, there are numerous opportunities to learn some new skills or polish some old ones, with a huge range of surf schools catering to newcomers. More experienced surfers will be well looked-after with a range of quality breaks, and everyone will be well-serviced by the dozens of vendors offering quality equipment for hire at reasonable prices, so you won’t even need to bring your own board! Even if you just want to sunbake or swim, you’ll feel right at home on Kuta beach, with calm stretches for swimming and several patrolled areas, so you can rest assured that your safety in the water is top priority here.

Easily reached by Denpasar, Kuta is the centre of tourist facilities in Bali, and services such as shopping and accommodation to suit every budget can be found here, making Kuta a highly attractive destination for every traveller, and for revellers there is always a party going on somewhere after a long day of surfing. Kuta is also a stepping-off point for a range of other activities, such as diving, trekking, and exploring, and is in easy reach of many other activities and destinations around Bali.
