Kubu Beach is a small, secluded
gem, known for its serene atmosphere and calm waters.
Access to the beach is restricted since it is located within the private grounds of Ayana Resort and Spa and the Biu Biu villa complex. As a result, the beach is usually reserved for guests of these properties.
Although Bali’s beaches are
technically public, gaining access to Kubu Beach can be challenging. For those
interested in attempting to visit, here are some insights from those who have
tried:
“It’s easier to enter the resort
grounds—and thus access the beach—by car; motorbikes are usually turned away.”
“We spent the entire morning
trying to reach Kubu Beach. Initially, we tried from the Biu Biu side, but a
security guard turned us away. We then wandered around with Google Maps, only
to end up in a residential area where we were chased by local dogs.”
“Finding the entrance was
difficult due to construction at the Ayana Hotel. When we finally located the
path down, we found signs saying ‘swimming prohibited.'"
“A security guard allowed us to
descend the stairs to Kubu Beach, but once there, another guard quickly
escorted us back up, ensuring we didn’t stay long.”
Kubu Beach remains a hidden and
exclusive destination, primarily accessible to those staying at the surrounding
luxury accommodations.
