Tuban, Bali

Tuban is a tourist area on the southern part of Kuta. Originally a separate village, Tuban is now absorbed into the contigous tourist development of Kuta, and usually the name Kuta is used to cover the entire tourist area from Seminyak and Legian all the way to Tuban.

Tuban is also the home of the Ngurah Rai International Airport. Along its coastline are luxury hotels with much more spacious grounds than the hotels within Kuta or Legian. You also get a feeling that Tuban is more orderly and free from the hustle and bustle of crowded Kuta.

On the northern part of Tuban is the Matahari Department Store, one of a chain of department stores found throughout Indonesia. Tuban also has a water theme park, Waterbom, with slides and pools.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
