There’s no doubt that Bali offers jaw-dropping resorts around its coastline, but not all of them are designed to spark imagination and ignite adventure for kids of all ages, with plenty to offer for Mom and Dad.

In fact, we would only title some areas of the island to be ultimate kid-friendly spots, namely:

Seminyak/ Kuta/ Legian: Where families enjoy exciting times at the beach, learning to catch waves or stroll along busy shopping streets lined with cafes and boutiques.

Nusa Dua: This attracts restless families on the lookout for thrilling watersports, extreme sports and clear turquoise waters.

Sanur: As a peaceful refuge from the chaos of other touristy areas, here’s where families with toddlers enjoy calm and shallow waters. As a peaceful refuge from the chaos of other touristy areas, here’s where families with toddlers enjoy calm and shallow waters, and relax in family-friendly resorts.

Jimbaran: A paradise for foodie families where you get seafood by the beach while kids enjoy the wild space to run free!

Now come on, where better to yank your children from their all-consuming gadgets and immerse them in everything Bali has to offer? These family beach resorts in South Bali’s top kid-friendly areas offer ultimate fun with kids’ clubs, water slides and more!

Note: The prices reflected below are the low season rates, and they exclude tax and service charges. Accommodation rates often change with room availability, and low or high seasons. We recommend double checking for the final prices before confirming your booking.

Family Beach Resorts in Seminyak/Kuta/Legian

For families who like excitement and shopping

Probably on every first timer’s itinerary, the coastal towns of Seminyak, Kuta and Legian are known to be action-packed spots with interconnected shopping streets and an expansive stretch of beach that is ideal for a beginner surf lesson with the young ones.

You’ll find water theme parks the kids will love and you’ll probably dine somewhere new every day, as there’s no lack of restaurants, shops and cafes.

1. This resort’s name is even whispered among kids at school gates!: Bali Dynasty Resort

Moms know best, am I right? That’s why most of them opt for a stay at Bali Dynasty Resort when travelling with the kids! The exciting resort located in action-packed Kuta guarantees family-friendly fun in the sun with a collection of exhaustive activities for the kids.

While you’ll have direct access to the beach, perhaps your kids will fancy the pool that comes with a thrilling splash waterslide. It’s quite a set-up they have here and incredibly impressive as the popping primary colours and cartoon characters extend to their Kupu-Kupu Kiddies’ Club that offers a daily programme of fun activities.

Food-wise, kids will be in seventh heaven (as will parents!) – you will find an extensive menu with kid-friendly options (including cartoon-inspired dishes) made available for every little picky eater out there, so you can be sure they’ll behave at the table!

When it comes to your sleeping arrangements, the well-appointed family room options will give you a large space to relax in while your younger ones nap on their bunk bed behind a sliding door.

Oh and remember telling your partner that having children wouldn’t change your holidays? This could be as close as you’ll ever get to prove it, without actually leaving the little ones at home, as at Bali Dynasty Resort, adults are also entitled to some lavish attention too!

Between swooning away at their onsite Ashoka Spa for a traditional Balinese Massage or setting a sunset date at The Upper Deck at H2O, you’re bound to rekindle romance even on a family vacation, but perhaps you’ll prefer some live entertainment while downing beers at their Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub (they’ve got you covered with babysitters to help when needed)!

2. 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 multiple people of different ages! You need to make sure to find rooms that will accommodate everyone (or at least which have interconnecting doors), a place which will 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 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!

Not only that; this gorgeous resort seems to have endless greenery, great for kids to run around and perfect for a post-breakfast stroll around nature!

Coming back to the essentials – 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’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.

Now, if you happen to be there on a Friday, you’re in luck as you can party it up with their live music sessions! And when it comes to food, Padma 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 to 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 in need of a shower and rest after having explored the last bits of Bali!

4. A beach lover’s paradise right by the mall (shops, cinema and more!) – Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort

Some of our favourite memories with family as a child, involve the beach, and most of them involve sunset. When we go on holiday, it’s not rare for the whole family to be spread out in different parts of the resort. Especially when it comes to resorts like Sheraton Kuta. Given that there are so many different activities available for kids, adults, and teenagers alike, we’re able to do our own thing comfortably during the day.

It’s at sunset, though, when most families come together. It’s those moments when we sit down and bond altogether. With the beach located just across the street, a gorgeous swimming pool that overlooks the horizon, and endless grass and greenery to run around, Sheraton has almost everything that a family could need.

If you’re wondering what to do the whole day, you can always lounge on the sand of the ever buzzing Kuta beach, or surround yourself with the cool waters of the swimming pool. Indulge your senses at their Shine spa or feast on their 5-star quality food.

Family Beach Resorts in Sanur

For families who want peaceful dips in shallow waters

Sanur has long been a favourite among families travelling with younger kids as the beaches here offer calm, shallow and safe waters that invite peaceful dips all day long. It is the perfect pick for those who believe that no childhood vacation is complete without some time underwater as you get to enjoy one of Bali’s clearest waters for ultimate snorkelling sessions.

15. For a laid-back family getaway in the ‘real Bali’ – Hyatt Regency Bali

If you ask me; there’s no better place to escape busy Kuta and Seminyak than a getaway to the tranquil and laid-back Balinese beach town of Sanur.

Everything here seems to be more enjoyable. During my visit, I could feel the real “community” vibes – locals know and simply respect each other. Eventually, I am sure that as a parent, all you ever look for when travelling with kids, is a safe area – that’s exactly what you’re in for when booking a staycation at Hyatt Regency.

There’s an expansive garden for your little ones to run free and tire themselves as well as a fun kids club that runs daily activities – and they aren’t confined to a four-walled room as several activities on their programme are conducted outdoors (Balinese Dance, Fish and Duck feeding, Hulla Hooping and more).

On Sundays, most families reunite around their delectable Sunday Brunch that takes place at their Pizzaria Restaurant, right by the beach. It’s one special time and I’d recommend you to drop by even though you aren’t staying overnight.

Rooms are also super family-friendly with their premium category offering a small green area (perfect for toddlers) while their family suite features partial ocean views and a balcony – it accommodates up to three adults so it’s ideal if you have a teen!

Needless to say, they have a pool too. Oops I mean… three pools! The kids’ pool comes with a cave and slide. I guarantee you’ll have so much fun!

Before we talk about Prama Sanur, let’s talk about 3 potential adventures your kids will enjoy on Mertasari Beach.

Come down to the beach during low tide, and have fun exploring the marina around. Crabs, shells, starfish and more – the kids will get to have fun hands on experiences with marine life.

There’s a great variety of watersports available on the beach if you’re interested. (Prama Sanur provides watersports with RipCurl.)

Lastly, if you’re here during kite season, your kids will enjoy watching the kite teams keep the kites up in the sky – just imagine a beautiful scene of a sky full of kites!

Back to Prama Sanur, this property provides 2 outdoor pools for swimming and poolside lounging and a splash zone pool for the kids!

They also have tennis and volleyball courts; pampering spa services and yoga; and fitness center. You may also want to know that they have a kids club, so parents get to drop off their kids and take some time out for romance.

Surrounded by 15 acres of tropical gardens, this beautiful beachfront resort comes with 3 in-house restaurants and 2 bars (including a swim-up pool bar!).

Whether it’s a mix of International and Asian cuisine at Tirta Restaurant; authentic hearty Italian at Basilico Restaurant; fine Indonesian dining at Lada Restaurant; or cocktails, pizzas and tapas at Bamboo Bar and Lounge – Prama Sanur ensures your body, belly (and spirits) are kept happy and content!

18. The secluded beach paradise that’s all yours and more – Peneeda View Beach Hotel

Imagine walking along secluded white sandy beaches where paradise is all yours – then hopping into any of the 3 pools (+1 kiddy pool!) at Peneeda for a refreshing swim.

When you’re famished from all that walking, and swimming (and dare we say it – rest and relaxation) – simply head to the beachside restaurant. Enjoy your meal with the playful sea breeze blowing through your hair, and the sounds of the lapping waves.

If you’re ready to get back to the pool after eating, there’s also a pool bar for drinks where the adults get to relax at, while the kids go swimming in the kiddy pool, or the other 3 pools!

Other than that, there’s also a library and an Acoustic Music Bar for you to bring the kids to. For snacks, do try the Roadside Kebab and Crepes available at Peneeda. Something savoury, and something sweet for the perfect mid-day treat.

One fun fact to know: the rooms at Peneeda seem to have this pop art meets traditional Bali vibe. The walls are colourful with different textures and patterns, combined with traditional Balinese fittings and furnishings. It all comes together to create a cheerful environment that lifts your spirits rather unexpectedly.

Lastly, don’t forget to spend some time on the lovely beach, and simply unwind to some well-deserved family bonding.
