Bali is one of the main islands that form part of the Indonesian archipelago. Along with the capital, Jakarta, Bali is one of the major tourist destinations within the country. Although the island is renowned for its beaches, Bali actually has diverse landscapes that will appeal to all nature lovers. In addition to beaches, the island is famous for its nightlife and shopping opportunities. From tiny kiosks to massive department stores, tourists who love to shop will have plenty of options to occupy their time. Although prices tend to start high at most little shops, a certain degree of bargaining is expected. There are numerous choices for tourists who want to do a spot of shopping, and paying a visit to Kuta Square is one of them.

Kuta Square is a shopping and retail area located in the quaint little village of Kuta. Many of the shops in the area sell branded goods imported from abroad. Unlike the prices in Bali’s markets, the cost of goods at shops in Kuta Square is fixed and one usually cannot negotiate a lower price. People generally come here to buy high quality, branded goods. Although it is only a small street, there are a lot of shops packed into it. The Matahari Department Store is one of the biggest and most popular shops located here. The department store is the best place to acquire a variety of clothes, furniture, books, cosmetics and an assortment of other goods.

The square is walking distance from the famous Kuta Beach. One can head over to the square for a bit of shopping after a day lounging at the beach. The area is also home to many restaurants where one can grab a bite to eat. These eateries range from local places, where one can sample delicious Indonesian cuisine, to global franchises, for those who want something a bit more close to home.

Travellers who want to enjoy the finer things in life can take a luxury retreat Bali. Those looking for a quality accommodation choice can try the Uma Bali. This stellar option of an Ubud hotel is situated amidst lush forestry and is elegantly designed. The hotel features nearly fifty rooms and is the ideal option for tourists who want to get away from it all and bask in nature.
