Which part of Bali is best for families?

South Kuta is a popular choice for families as this area offers a quieter atmosphere (compared to central Kuta, ofc). You'll find easy access to white sandy beaches that kids will love. Plus, its location just a few minutes from the airport makes it easy for families with young children to travel.

On the flip side, the Nusa Dua area is known for its clean neighborhoods, family-friendly hotels, and beaches that tend to be quieter, making it ideal as well. Now, if you want a more localized experience, Sanur can be a great option with its laid-back traditional atmosphere, beachfront bike paths, and plenty of kid-friendly restaurants. All you have to do is make your choice!

Is Bali good for a family holiday?

Absolutely! Bali is a paradise for family getaways, babes, c'mon… Imagine your kids playing with sand on the beach, trying snorkeling for the first time, or laughing at a splashy water park. Meanwhile, you can relax at a Balinese spa or chow down at a beachfront restaurant.

Beyond the fun adventures, Bali is packed with exciting cultural activities, too! Whether it's learning the traditional dance, making batik, or exploring the majestic temples.

How many days is enough in Bali with family?

I would say that ideally, 7 to 10 days is enough time for a family vacation. With that time, you can enjoy various activities, from kid-friendly beaches to amusement parks and nature activities like hiking or snorkeling. Also, enough time allows you to explore different areas of Bali, such as Kuta, Nusa Dua, and Ubud, which all offer different experiences.

Can't decide from that long list? Don't worry, I got you, babe — I've summarized it into a super handy table! Check it out below to find the best family hotels in Bali for you.
