Kuta
Kuta, just a short drive from the airport in southern Bali, has
become the island's most popular and most crowded holiday resort,
blessed as it is with a lovely sweep of golden sand, crashing surf
and spectacular sunsets. The natural attractions have now been
complemented by the tourist trappings, and Kuta is bursting with
hotels, shops, restaurants and an energetic nightlife. It is also
teeming with touts and vendors offering everything from sarongs and
'Rolex' watches to hair-braiding and tattoos.
Kuta's atmosphere is relaxed, cheerful and friendly, where
holiday visitors find it easy to wear a smile and enjoy excellent
accommodation with good food. A holiday must for every visitor in
Kuta is a visit to the nearby Temple of Tanah Lot, Bali's most holy
place and a magical experience when viewed at sunset, perched on a
wave-lashed rocky islet.
Information & Facts
Language
Bahasa Indonesia is the official language, but many
dialects are spoken. English is widely understood in Jakarta and
tourist resorts.
Money
Rupiah (IDR) is the official currency and is divided into 100
sen. Foreign currency can easily be exchanged at banks, hotels and
money changers in major tourist destinations; US dollars is the
most accepted currency. Cash often yields a better exchange rate
than travellers cheques, which are not always accepted. It is
recommended that travellers cheques also be in US dollars. Most
major credit cards are accepted at hotels, restaurants and stores
catering to the tourist trade. ATMs are available in main centres.
Small change is often unavailable so keep small denomination notes
and coins for items like bus fares, temple donations and cool
drinks.
Time
Indonesia spans three time zones. GMT +7 (West, including
Java and Sumatra), GMT +8 (Central, including Bali, Sulawesi and
Lombok), GMT +9 (East, including Irian Jaya).
