Located just south of Kuta, Tuban is a within easy reach of the busy cosmopolitan resort and shopping areas, but offers a distinct change of pace for those seeking a relaxed get-away. There are many new hotels and restaurants, mostly of a high standard, and the area is well suited to families.
The shopping area of Tuban features a fine selection of boutiques gift and souvenir shops and an excellent art market. Kuta and its popular market area are also within walking distance, either by road or along the beach.
Beaches in this area are generally quiet and are far less crowded than its famous near-neigbour, and have fewer hawkers and stalls to detract from the scenery.
An added attraction is Waterbom Water slide Park, which features giant water slides and other aquatic adventures. This is of course a major attraction for children and the young at heart.
