Kuta
Insider's Guide - What to do and Where to go in Kuta
Notoriously known as Bali’s most hardcore party scene, Kuta is incomparable to any city on the island. Having received an unfortunate reputation as the ultimate party destination for Bogans, seasoned tourists tend to avoid it like the plague.
Although, as locals, we truly know what Kuta brings to the table and we want to show you that it effortlessly can be the dream vacation you’ve been wanting to have.
Luxury Accommodations
Have you ever imagined having a personal butler? Kuta can make that possible! The best decision you could make for your vacay even before it starts is to book yourself into the luxury hotel or villa of your dreams.
An endless selection of premium resorts (at exceptionally affordable prices) patiently await for your families arrival to pamper and tend to each of your needs.
Mastering a great balance between family bonding and parent’s alone time, Grand Mirage Resort is #1 in our hearts as the most family-friendly resort!

Water Activities
Surfing
Iconically known for their waves, Kuta has thousands of novice swimmers dashing to the sea every year! With West Bali having its shoreline divided into 3 different beaches (Seminyak, Legian, and Kuta), Kuta is known as the safest and most adapted for beginners.
We totally recommend hitting the beach to rent a board and possibly take a lesson or two! Imagine that feeling when you stand on your board and take in that Bali view from a different perspective!
Release Sea Turtles
Handled responsibly by the Bali Sea Turtle Society, Kuta Beach gives tourist the chance to create the most adorable family memory – releasing newly born sea turtles into the wild!
Nurturing rescued eggs from the endangered species from March to September, the society has eggs scheduled to release from April to October.
This is a special opportunity that the city has opened up for tourists to participate in. Seeing the little babies swim for the first time is so magical! Don’t forget to name yours!

Local Culture
We admit that it’s super easy to get distracted with the variety of luxuries Bali has to offer – we all know how effortless it is to come live your island paradise dreams.
As travelers, it’s our responsibility to take the initiative to connect with the local culture of the countries we visit.
Filled with immense pride, traditional customs, and the kindest souls, Balinese culture is absolutely beautiful. Ask any local and they will always go out their way to teach you.
Eat at a Warung
Famous to Indonesia, Warung’s are a small family business in the form of a restaurant, café, or mini-convenience store.
Usually constructed into a bamboo shack with a small kitchen, Warung’s that sell food specialize in having a variety of options such as fried rice (Nasi Goreng), fried vegetables, seasoned meat curries, and our favorite noodles (Mie Goreng). Even though you’ll often find Indonesian food sold at high end restaurants, it’s an experience on its own to support local businesses by dining at a local Warung!
As locals begin to cater to foreign crowds, you’ll even start to notice a bigger selection of vegan options now being served!

Cooking Class and Local Fruit
Once you’ve eaten at a Warung, you’ll 100% have fallen in love with Balinese food and want to bring it all home with you! One of our all-time favorite activities is taking a cooking class hosted by a local cooking school!
Kuta has a great selection of schools through the city, but Mexx – The Cooking School has won us over as they go above and beyond to provide proper cooking stations, clear instructions from attentive teachers, and a variety of fresh poultry and produce!
Depending on the selected class, you will also receive the opportunity to visit a local market to purchase your ingredients!
At the market, your instructor will introduce a number of really tropical and delicious local fruits you’ll get hooked on too! Have you ever had snake fruit before?
