Kuta is situated on the southernmost part of Bali, one of the many islands that make up Indonesia and is conveniently close to close to Ngurah Rai Aiport. Bali has long been known as a fabulous beach destination and Kuta is popular as a resort area for tourists. It was once a simple fishing village but is now a major tourist destination in Indonesia and especially in demand when it comes to surfing tourism. Several well-known Australian surfers are known to visit here often. From magnificent beaches and waterparks to traditional theatre houses and Buddhist temples, Kuta has got it all. If you are thinking of heading out on a vacation to Bali, Kuta resort options such as Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali and others are available for you to stay at during your holiday. While many of these resorts provide a comprehensive set of entertainment facilities within their own grounds, do make sure to venture out and sightsee at some of the following destinations. Bali’s got more to offer than its beaches.
Make a splash at the Waterbom Bali, one of Kuta’s water adventure parks. This recreational park features many water slides that are sure to get your heart racing as you cool off from the tropical heat. It also has many eateries should you get peckish or feel thirsty. If you are in the mood for a dose of culture and want to see something exotic, book a seat at Kuta Theater. The shows here are far from boring, and sometimes showcase the talents of fire-wielding magicians who show off their pyrotechnic skills to eager audiences. Leeng Gwan Kuta Temple, also known as the Vihara Dharmayana, is a Chinese Buddhist temple that counts over two hundred years of history. The architectural style and decor take after Eastern sensibilities, and so expect to be greeted with lots colour, especially red. This is in stark contrast to the more monotone, fully white Buddist temples that are iconic of South Asian countries such as Sri Lanka.
