The Balinese Provincial Government has 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.
To the south, Kuta Beach extends beyond the airport into Jimbaran. Other nearby towns and villages include Seseh, Denpasar, Ujung, Pesanggaran, Kedonganan and Tuban.
There are 2 nearst place to rest from kuta beach, They are Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel, a five star hotel. Its about 0,16 Km from Kuta Beach and Bali Dinasty Resort about 0.22 Km from the beach.
