The small Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort features a nice pool surrounded by lush tropical gardens.
Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort – Surprisingly spacious and admirably tranquil, even in the midst of chaotic Kuta.
Unlike its neighbors, this is a genuine boutique resort, well-established and not just a part of an international chain. The resort is only a minute’s stroll from the world-class Beachwalk Shopping Center and just across the (busy) road from the famed Kuta Beach with its legendary sunsets. And all accommodations are far from the incessant traffic. Those in the three-level block are comfortable, featuring chic wooden design, but are not as alluring as the cottages which offer seclusion and privacy behind vine-smothered stone walls. The pool is enormous for the limited number of guests, the extensive tropical gardens are covered with abundant Balinese statues and shady palms, and there’s even a tiny rice field.

- Smoking Rooms: No smoking in the rooms but permitted on the balconies/patios and elsewhere.
- Best Room: Best possible sea views are from the Royal Ocean Suites which are also twice as spacious as the Deluxe Rooms.

Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort – Local Transport
- Walking: Walkable to everything that Kuta has to offer.
- Public Transport: In lieu of any public transport, the Kura-Kura Bus company links Kuta with Ubud and the rest of southern Bali, but schedules are convoluted and routes confusing.
- Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: To go anywhere within southern Bali, hire metered taxis which are abundant, cheap, and comfortable. For longer distances, organize a chartered car with driver (for a negotiable fare) at the hotel. Driving a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali, and renting one in Tuban/Kuta is madness. Motorbikes are easy to rent and useful for getting around the backstreets of Tuban/Kuta/Legian but not so elsewhere in southern Bali.
- Shuttle Bus: To reach another town outside of southern Bali, e.g. Ubud, buy a ticket at a travel agency for a shuttle bus. The main operator, Perama, provides services all over Bali from its office on Jalan Legian street in Kuta, 800m away (quicker on foot than taxi).
