Head to Kuta Beach for day and night adventures
Kuta Beach is one of the most visited attractions in Bali, largely due to its daytime and night time activities. During the day, you can soak up the sun and relax with drinks, massages, hair braiding, and even get a temporary tattoo. Or you can make a splash in the crystal-clear waters by swimming, surfing, and snorkelling. Once the sun sets, it’s time to grab a drink (or several) at the numerous restaurants and bars on the entertainment strip before heading to popular clubbing venues where you can party till dawn.
