9 Best Family-friendly Hotels in Bali

Bali is an island of superb, family-friendly hotels. For families looking to splurge on their accommodation, here’s some music for ears: there are many luxurious options around Ubud and Nusa Dua, particularly in Seminyak and Kuta where guests can expect all sorts of amenities, including kids clubs, swimming pools, and saunas.

Whether the accommodation is beachfront or not, Bali’s unique culture means that most hotels have activities for children; however, this does vary from one establishment to another. Before booking a hotel for your destination, you should always check whether any activities are available for your children at your chosen resort. More importantly, ensure the activities align with your kids’ interests. Guests can choose from cooking classes, table tennis, a top-level kids pool, and a variety of activities. If you want some alone time to catch a few shows or get on a private tour, check for the availability of babysitting services as well.

When you think of Bali, you likely imagine yourself in a world different from where you live. You probably see this as your ticket to lounging on endless white sands and soaking in the tropical sun.

Expert Opinion

I have been living in Bali for ten years, living far away from my family. Sometimes I do invite them to a holiday getaway in Bali. Most of the time my nieces will be joining the holiday! So, choosing the hotel must mean including kids’ activities that are still uniquely Balinese; otherwise, the kids won’t have fun. Happily, all of these resorts in Bali offer a bunch of interesting kid’s activities compared to city hotels!

Here are my best three selections of family-friendly hotels in Bali:

Four Seasons Bali Sayan, Renaissance Bali Nusa Dua, St. Regis Nusa Dua

The reasons why I choose these as my three best Balinese family hotels in Bali are their service, their locations, the vibe, and the overall area being clean and safe for kids. The perfect natural scenery is obvious from sunrise to sunset! They have amazing kids’ playgrounds, kids’ facilities, and kids’ activities. Also, these hotels provide the best breakfast buffets for kids! You can give them a break from the usual water slides or rides at theme parks and go for something more grounded.

Having kids on your holiday can be a challenge. Of all the lessons you can learn as a traveller, here’s something you shouldn’t forget: you also deserve to have fun and enjoy the holiday. So picking the best family hotels will be the best option if you want to bring your kids on your holiday. I advise inquiring in advance if the staff can use a language you’re comfortable with to avoid miscommunication.

Happy parents, happy kids! Enjoy Bali! If you want more data on various hotel destinations on this popular getaway, our site contains more info on everything about Balinese tourism.
