THE fabulous
south coast of Lombok, with sweeping bays and craggy
headlands protected from the full force of the Indian Ocean
swells by colourful coral reefs, finds its most 'urban'
expression in the little community of Kuta (or Kute: this
side of the Wallace Line the spelling is optional), around
30 kilometres south of Praya in the Central Lombok lowlands.
It is the major centre of tourism development on the south
coast, but still a sleepy place of only a few permanent
residents. It's a great place for Lombok-made clothing and
artefacts. And it is also the base for exploring Lombok's
southern beaches and the many points of interest in the
region.
An easy 90-minute drive from Senggigi, Kuta makes for a
wonderful day trip from other points in Lombok, or indeed an
alternative holiday destination for sun lovers. The
four-star Novotel Lombok is there to provide a definitive
range of creature comforts.
Kuta and the surrounding region also has an international
reputation for some of the best surfing destinations in
South-East Asia and it is here that the Indian Ocean's
regular big swells form great surf breaks and offer
fantastic vistas of cliffs, headlands and beaches carved out
of the southern coastline.
