Parents, we know – holidaying with the little ones can be a lot of work! So it’s simply sublime when you come across a family-oriented resort that offers so much for all family members.

Case in point: Bali Dynasty Resort!

An exciting array of daily kids’ activities (from arts and crafts to kids yoga, Balinese costume dress-ups, limbo contests, card games, Indonesian lessons, indoor games… the list goes on and on)? CHECK! This is headed up by the complimentary Kids Club — double bonus.

An impressive outdoor playground? CHECK! Nothing beats the thrill of zooming down a 56-metre-long water slide. Just ask your kids! Here, there’s also a special kids-only pool as well as a Kids Water Fun Zone.

A Gamers Room (with the latest VR, PlayStation 5 and XBOX) to keep your teens happy? CHECK! Or how about a special zone for teeny tots below four years old? You bet and CHECK, just head to the resort’s Pupa Toddler Room.

Why is it that children love bunk beds so much? Matching the on-site facilities are the numerous family rooms. The Family Studio sleeps five members; equipped with a bunk bed, trundle bed and a king-sized bed.

There’s also the four-sleeper Family Garden View option on the ground floor and a Family Lagoon Pool Access option if you’re a household of water babies. The funky ground-floor Kids Suite sleeps five and opens out to a garden.

Ever had to deal with a hangry child? Not fun! Keeping stomachs happy are a multitude of different restaurants, including the Italian-inspired Café Piazza for a super cute Afternoon Tea and the Golden Lotus with its All You Can Eat Dim Sum option (every Sunday from 10.30 am to 2.30 pm). Celebrating all there is to love about Chinese cuisine, the red and gold-accented interiors, rich woods and the artfully illustrated mural match in authenticity. Feast from the a la carte menu while lanterns dangle above you, with seafood, barbeque and roast options, too.

If you plan on spending over a week at Bali Dynasty, consider signing up for the Golden Lotus’ Silver Chopstick Membership programme and enjoy some scrumptious savings.

In need of a date night or day without the kids? Book the babysitting service and head to the recently renovated, open-air H20 Restaurant, Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub, or Oasis Rooftop for romantic sunset cocktails.

You’ll never want to leave…And that includes every single member of the fam. Clearly, Bali Dynasty Resort understands when it comes to travelling with the whole family!

2. Your perfect vacation soundtrack: Hard Rock Hotel Bali

Let’s get the party started at Hard Rock Hotel Bali! All the little and big rockers rush to the paradise of music, fun and family parties where everyone becomes a rock star!

To get access to all the fun activities such as rockwall climbing challenge, your young ones have to join the Roxity Kids Club for the special adventures. Take part in the Kids Olympics and maybe you’ll bring a medal home with you!

For the tired parents, get that well-deserved rest on the Sand Island, surrounded by the largest free-form swimming pool in Bali. Find shelter in the cabanas, order food and refreshments from Splash Bistro and enjoy it under the shade with your feet cooling off in the pool.

Meanwhile, you can watch your kids go down the waterslide ecstatically, splashing into a supervised, child-safe pool. They would love walking on the water in a giant zorbing ball and other pool activities!

For lunch, we recommend Starz Diner with indoor and outdoor seating and serves international cuisine. Kids who are members of Roxity Kids Club can have lunch for free!

And this has to be the favourite part for every child (or child-at-heart) – ultimate foam party, held every Saturday at 4pm! Have a family foam fight and see who gets lost under the foam as first!

Your littlest babies (kids under four years old) can now have their fair share of fun at the newly opened Lullaby Playroom, but they must be accompanied by an adult. The playroom is located within the TABU Teens Club — an epic space with a private cinema, Play Station 5, Xbox One and Wii U facilities, and a gaming lounge. Any kids under 13 years require adult supervision while hanging out at TABU.

After that long day of excitement, retire for the night at the Roxity Family Suite, which is piled full of children’s entertainment such as PlayStation 4. Teenagers can even rent a guitar and take TV guitar lessons or become DJs with a rented mixer and iPad!

3. No matter your age or who you travel with, let everything be taken care of – Padma Resort Legian

Travelling with kids can be quite a hassle, it becomes even more of a challenge if you’re travelling with various people of different ages! You need to make sure to find rooms that will accommodate everyone (or at least interconnecting rooms), and preferably have lots of activities for the little ones.

Beyond that though, you need to find a resort which will allow you and the rest of your crew to enjoy yourselves as well!

Located just a stone’s throw away from the beach, and incredibly close to the airport, Padma Resort Legian isn’t lacking in all things sun, sand and sea.

Their best feature though? The swimming pool, or should I say ‘pools’! Decked out with five different pools, you could easily spend the whole day hopping in and out from one to another!

While the main pool is the perfect place for the family to base themselves, the lagoon pool is great for transporting yourself to a tropical paradise! The family pool will be the apple of all the kiddo’s eyes, featuring multiple slides, and a colourful mushroom fountain for endless fun!

For those who are a little older and looking to get away from all the commotion that the little ones cause, there’s an adults-only infinity pool which serves as the ultimate sunset location.

Relax by the swim-up bar with one of Padma Legian’s giant martinis in hand as the lowering sun makes the waves glitter around you! Don’t worry about letting the cocktails flow too much, your little ones will be safe and sound at the kids club.

For in-house guests aged 4 – 12 years old, their Wolly Kids Club provides supervised indoor and outdoor spaces to play, interact, and relax. Supervised activities like arts and crafts, Fun Yoga, Balinese Dancing, Towel Origami, Duck feeding, Turtle Feeding, Fish Feeding, Canang sari Decoration, Paper origami, and Bingo Games are on the program.

And when it comes to food, Padma Legian doesn’t exclude either; whatever your dietary needs they’ll accommodate! They even provide gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options or any other dietary requirement you might have. If you’re feeling a bit more creative, make your own sandwich or salad in the Deli where they cater your meal completely to your liking!

Probably most essential, you also get to enjoy a departure lounge that welcomes guests for free – an absolute comfort when you have a late-night flight and need of a shower and rest after having explored the last bits of Bali!

4. Enjoy one of the best areas in Bali with this incredible stay – FuramaXclusive Ocean Beach Seminyak

Seminyak is one of the most renowned areas in Bali, much better than its older brother Kuta, and more established than the now-overcrowded Canggu. You’ll find a mix of both the hipster, the modern, and the traditional in Seminyak, which makes it the most convenient place to base yourself with your little family!

FuramaXclusive Ocean Beach Seminyak lets you enjoy this hip beach town – it is family-friendly like no other!

Now, of course, one of the best features of this place is the pool. Meandering through the different buildings, it almost feels as though you’re swimming in the canals of Venice!

If you’re feeling a little worn out though, the massive Slide ‘n Splash water park will keep the little ones busy! Decked out with multicoloured slides, seasaws, a trampoline, endless places to climb, and a steady flow of fountains, it’s a literal child haven.

With Double Six beach just a simple hop over the street from it, and an endless row of gourmet restaurants next to it, there’s really nothing else you need during your stay in Bali.

A quick walk down the road takes you to all the souvenir shops you can imagine, massage parlours are plentiful, and anything else you may find yourself wondering about is merely a short taxi ride away!

5. Laze in the infinity pool, or swoosh down super fun slides – Bali Mandira Beach Resort

Family Resorts with Waterslides in Nusa Dua

6. Come in for an all-inclusive royal treatment – Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Bali

Seriously though, there’s nothing better than a beachfront resort. Being able to walk from your room to the sand without having to leave the hotel always gives off such a satisfying feeling, it’s like the ultimate luxury! What’s even better is when the pool overlooks the ocean, so that they blend almost seamlessly together at certain angles, it’s pure bliss.

And when it comes to activities and amenities, Grand Mirage has plenty to choose from! There’s the adults-only infinity pool, perfect for escaping the crowds and the noise. But also, there’s the incredible family pool equipped with a huge slide. Now for the cherry on top of the icing – their mini waterpark, which your kids will be raving about for months!

7. Thrilling Slides and Camel Rides – Hilton Bali Resort

Take a dip in the pool after sliding down the 30-metre slide – how do you like the sound of that?

Unwind at the sprawling connected pools while the kids have their own watery fun. But, the fun, it seems, is only beginning!

Throw in the aptly named Serenity – a secluded beach for hotel guests – and you are bound to have the time of your life!

Entertainment for families with children is one of the major USPs (unique selling points) of the resort, and their Kid’s Club & Game Cave for children is all the proof you need.

With both indoor and outdoor playground areas, arts and crafts, books and board games available for children aged 4 to 12, they’ll be having fun to their heart’s content! For the more active kids, they may also have fun on the trampoline and rock climbing facilities under the watchful eyes of the resort’s trained team.

The comfortable family rooms only make your stay more worthwhile, with 2 options to choose from. One features fun bunk beds for the kids (while the parents enjoy a king-sized bed, of course), and the other family room comes complete with 2 queen-sized beds!

8. The family vacation with style, and kids’ spa treatments too! – Grand Hyatt Bali

A stay at Grand Hyatt is nothing short of the ultimate family bliss.

The hotel has five swanky pools – take a plunge into the lagoon pool and marvel at the breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean just off the pearly white coastline, or let the Balinese-featured pool take you straight to fabled lands.

Let the children find their own splash extravaganza at the River Pool, making the most of the slides amidst lush surroundings and lily ponds.

The resort has a well-mapped out treasure trove of activities to make your holiday a memorable and luxurious one. For example, indulge in various activities like kite-flying on the beach, and cycling tours with the entire family!

Also, how cute is this? There’s now also the Westin Kids Spa for when the young ones want a little pampering. (Just because you’re not an adult doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy some TLC, like mini manicures and hair braiding!)

For more quality bonding over food, enjoy a great time at the Prego Family Brunch (available every Sunday) that’s sure to be the cherry on top of your perfect weekend!

The Westin’s contemporary Family Suites offer two bedrooms and a family room with plenty of space for everyone to relax after a fun and exhilarating day.

This stay offers everything your family hearts could desire in a family-friendly stay, including plenty of exciting games, activities, pools and clubs for little ones.

Race friends down the double-sided identical slide and see who can make the biggest SPLASH in the Kids Water Slides & Splash Pad area. But there’s also a separate kiddies pool, and a family pool which all ages can cool off in, and mom and dad can keep a watchful eye. Speaking of pools, an infinity pool beckons for when parents do need a little break.

Share an extra cheesy pizza with your toes in the sand at the Ayodya Beach Club & Grill, and there’s even a Häagen-Dazs gelato stand (which is where you’d find me 90% of the time).

Family Resorts with Waterslides in Jimbaran

13. Enjoy facilities from two resorts all at once! – RIMBA Jimbaran BALI by AYANA

RIMBA and AYANA are two incredible resorts, which only become even more impressive when you realise that each one gives access to the other (perfect considering they are right next door to each other!).

It’s really the pools though that take the stage, RIMBA’s lower pool hides a bright green water slide, and when your kids go on it, they’ll exit to a cascading waterfall giving the illusion that they’re in a different realm! Their famed kids’ club? Hidden through a secret entrance via one of the poolside cabanas, merely a stone’s throw away from the slide! AYANA’s pool is nothing to scoff at either, equipped with two different slides, these two resorts are a family’s dream!

Besides, the resort comes with expansive gardens to explore, an absolutely gorgeous tea lounge covered from top to bottom with orchids, and spectacular sunken lounges to watch mesmerising sunsets from. In fact, there’s really no reason why you wouldn’t want to stay here the whole day.

So while there are big plus points for solo travellers, couples, and people looking to have a good time, what’s in it for those with families?

14. All Kids Aboard the Fun-ship at the Movenpick Resort and Spa Jimbaran

At Movenpick Resort and Spa Jimbaran, besides its luxury rooms and amenities, the children are kept in mind – toddlers to teenagers alike!

In total, this property has 4 outdoor pools altogether. One of which is a children’s pool complete with waterslides and fun water features. They also have an artificial beach pool for you to have a “beachy vibes” in the middle of Jimbaran!

Their children’s pool is actually connected to their kids’ club! This is so that children can enjoy an “indoor and outdoor” playground feel.

Its kids’ club, also known as Meera Kids Club, is a fun pirate-themed club the little ones love. Taking up a two-storey area, the first floor is meant for toddlers and younger children. Complete with indoor playground, trampoline and ball pit, your kids will get excited the moment they step in!

The second floor is where the pre-teens hang out. Movenpick has crafted a cosy environment for them with console games and comfortable bean bags for them to socialise and have fun!

These projects are awesome for the little ones wanting to take a break from all the swimming or outdoor fun!

You’ll definitely have a memorable family vacation to talk about for years to come!
