footnotes = Kuta is a town in southernBali ,Indonesia . A former fishing village, it was one of the first towns on Bali to see substantialtourist development, and as a beach resort remains one of Indonesia's major tourist destinations. It is known internationally for its long sandy beach, varied accommodation, many restaurants and bars, and substantial Australian population. It is located near Bali'sNgurah Rai Airport .Kuta was the site of the
October 12 ,2002 Bali bombing (202 killed) and theOctober 1 ,2005 Bali bombing (26 killed).Kuta is now the center of an extensive tourist-oriented urban area that merges into the neighboring towns.
Legian , to the north, is the commercial hub of Kuta and the site of many restaurants and entertainment spots. Most of the area's big beachfront hotels are in the southern section of Tuban.Legian and
Seminyak are northern extensions of Kuta along Jl. Legian and Jl. Basangkasa. They are somewhat quieter suburbs with cottage-style accommodations, where many of the expat crowd live. Also to the north are Petitenget, Berawa, Canggu, and Seseh - new and quieter continuations of Kuta's beach. They are easy to reach through Abian Timbul orDenpasar and Kerobokan. Several large hotels are located in this area: the Oberoi Bali, Hard Rock Hotel Bali, the Intan Bali Village, the Legian in Petitenget, the Dewata Beach and the Bali Sani Suites in Berawa.To the south, Kuta Beach extends beyond the airport into
Jimbaran . Other nearby towns and villages include Seseh (6.4 nm),Denpasar (4.5 nm),Ujung (1.8 nm),Pesanggaran (2.0 nm), Kedunganan (2.9 nm) and Tuban (1.0 nm).The Balinese Provincial Government have taken the view that the preservation of the Balinese culture, natural resources and wildlife are of primary importance in the development of the island. To this end they have limited tourist development to the peninsula on the extreme southern aspect of the island; Kuta beach is on the western side of this peninsula and Sanur is on the east. To the north of the peninsula no new tourist development is supposedly permitted.Fact|date=February 2007.
