Just imagine – after waking up in the morning, all you need to do is to open your terrace door to enjoy a quick swim before breakfast!

And regardless of your preference to stay in Ubud, Jimbaran, Sanur, Seminyak or Nusa Dua, we‘ve found the best lagoon access accommodations for you.

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.

2. Families’ favourite pick! – Meliá Bali

Checking into Meliá Bali is a bit of a tricky decision and let me tell you why – you won’t ever want to leave!

Located smack bang on the beach and in Bali’s most family-friendly coastal town, Nusa Dua (20 minutes’ drive from the airport), the hotel possesses an air of tropical luxury like no other – lush tropical gardens surround the property and their stunning lagoon pool sits right in the middle, making you feel like you’ve just stepped into a little sanctuary that’s also absolutely worry-free when it comes to health and safety!

As part of their ‘Stay Safe by Meliá’ initiative, a series of preventive measures have been put in place to ensure you’re living the ultimate tropical paradise experience. Daily health monitoring and disinfection are conducted, while the staff has been trained and certified by the Bali International Medical Centre. Besides, guests are also kept informed about the situation in Bali prior to their arrival and the hotel’s facilities have also been altered to meet health and safety standards – protective screens in the reception, digitalized systems and more!

Now coming to the best part – you can actually jump from your bed to the lagoon pool when staying at their Lagoon Access Junior Suite which has direct access to the cooling waters! No longer will you ever have to wake up extra early to be the first one fighting for some space at the pool!

And the spectrum of things to do within the resort makes it particularly compelling for families who often mix marine activities with other life enriching cultural programs taking place during their stay – Balinese offering workshops, Balinese dance class and so much more. Of course, that is when the kids aren’t at the exciting kids’ club that runs all day long from 9am to 9pm!

Not to forget, Meliá Bali boasts a collection of exceptional theme restaurants and bars with world-class cuisine that will blow you off your feet with a tantalizing gastronomic fantasy. There’s definitely something for everyone – from Sakura, their Japanese Restaurant which features its own sushi bar and teppanyaki tables, to the delectable Sorrento Spanish Restaurant and Tapas cuisine serving paellas and seafood dishes at the Sateria Beachside Restaurant as well as their own versions of Asian cuisine at the Lotus Restaurant, while the International Restaurant and Coffee Shop available 24 hours!
