Local Area

Downtown Kuta is a tourist hotspot with a buzzing beach scene, food stalls and souvenir hawkers. It has vibrant streets lined with shops, restaurants, markets, cafes and bars. In the evenings, the area transforms into a colourful nightlife hub. Some of the most popular attractions in and around Kuta include Waterbom Bali (a huge children's water park), Discovery and Beachwalk Malls, plus many more

Visit the sacred Uluwatu Temple, an ancient pagoda perched on a cliff top overlooking the Indian Ocean, stopping on the way to admire the magnificent Vishnu statue in GWK (Garuda Wisnu Kencana) Cultural Park. Alternatively, make the 30 minutes journey from the Holiday Inn Express Baruna Bali at sunset to watch the nightly Balinese Performance.

Spoil yourself with a calming massage at Tea Tree Spa in one of our beachfront gazebos, surrounded by the cooling waters of the tranquil pond and warm tropical breezes. Stroll along the beach to the new Segara Art Market to haggle in stalls loaded with multi-coloured handicrafts, sarongs and baskets.

There are plenty of taxis for hire on the roads around Kuta and Tuban or look out for the Blue Bird taxis, as they are the most reliable. Before you set off, always check that the driver has the meter turned on and running.
