The peak tourist season in July and August brings vibrant energy but also larger crowds. The rainy season, from November to March, sees occasional heavy downpours, but the area remains lively and offers a quieter experience.
Getting Around
Kuta is compact and easy to navigate on foot, especially around the beach and main streets. Renting a scooter is a popular way to explore the surrounding areas, but traffic can be busy. Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Grab are convenient for short distances. Many hotels and resorts offer shuttle services to nearby attractions.
Traveler Tips
Pack lightweight clothing, sunscreen, and flip-flops for Kuta’s beach lifestyle. Learn basic surfing at Kuta Beach, or head to nearby beaches like Legian and Seminyak for quieter options.
