Kuta was founded in the 40s of the XIX century. Previously, it was a rather poor fishing village, where you could see fishing gear, fishing boats and smell the unpleasant odor of fish everywhere. The local inhabitants were considered to be peasants who worked the land and survived on the gifts of the sea.
The pattern of this town changed after a family of travelers, Robert and Louise Cauk, stumbled upon the area. They were so delighted with the local nature that they immediately decided to improve the area and built the first hotel here. However, during the Japanese occupation, everything was destroyed.
The first tourists who dared to visit Kuta were hippies. The first tourists who dared to visit Kuta were hippies, and Australians were no less frequent visitors to the area, who took to the city's beaches for surfing.
Gradually the town began to expand and by 90 years of the last century became saturated with fashionable hotels, bars and restaurants. To find out where Kuta is today, everyone is eager to visit. In the peak season the population of Kuta increases to 200 thousand people.
In general, Kuta can be called a typical resort town with cheap food, booze and night entertainment. This resort will not appeal to everyone, but if you want to get a cheap vacation on the beach with various options for entertainment at night, it will suit you quite well. The currency unit of the country is the Indonesian rupiah (IDR).
