Pecatu
Pecatu is a village (desa) in South Kuta, Bali, Indonesia. Located in the western side of the Bukit Peninsula, its hilly landscape creates smaller, more isolated beaches than at Nusa Dua on the eastern side of the peninsula. It is popular with surfers and also with nudists. The Uluwatu Temple is also located at Pecatu.
Pecatu is located in South Kuta District of Badung Regency. It is at the western end of the Bukit Peninsula in south Bali, and has a hilly topography with limestone cliffs isolating small, short beaches that have been privately developed. Nusa Dua, on the opposite side of the peninsula, is flat and is a government-run resort with free access. Beaches at Pecatu have historically been popular with surfers and because of limited access, with nudists.
Ungasang is east and Jimbaran is north-east.
Beaches at Pecatu such as Dreamland Beach, now New Kuta Beach, were well known to surfers and also prized by nudists; Dreamland was named by Australian tourists. Warungs (refreshment shacks) and cheap accommodations grew up on and near the beaches.
Development started in 1996 with Pecatu Indah Resort, on a site including Dreamland Beach, by Bali Pecatu Graha, a company owned by Tommy Suharto. Macadamed roads and a golf course had been created when the 1997 Asian financial crisis caused work to be stopped. The financial crisis and the 2002 Bali bombings reduced tourism in Bali, but tourists returned and development resumed in the mid-oughties, including Kuta Golf Links Resort, developed in partnership with Made G. Putrawan, and another golf course resort, Hole 17, developed by Panorama Development Utama. The warungs were removed and have been replaced with permanent shops that are not on the beach. The development of New Kuta Beach was planned to include a convention center and several luxury hotels.
The area lacks fresh water. A seawater desalination plant with a production capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per day has been constructed.
A waterpark named New Kuta Green Park opened in December 2010 and fully opened in January 2011. According to Tommy Suharto, it was hoped that this attraction would also be affordable to local people who could not afford the resorts.
The village has several beaches that are particularly popular for surfing.
