Kuta District (Indonesian: Kecamatan Kuta) is an administrative district (kecamatan) within Badung Regency of Bali, Indonesia. It is Bali's and Indonesia's most internationally oriented and touristic district, home to the world famous Kuta Beach[1] and the fishing village Jimbaran. The district covers 17.52 km2 and was home to 86,657 people as of the 2010 census,[2] after phenomenal growth in the previous decade as workers moved in to support the tourist industry. To the north is Kuta North District, and the south is Kuta South District (which encompasses the Bukit Badung Peninsula). It contains five villages, listed below from south to north with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[3] and 2020 Census,[4] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[5]
