The Best Family Resorts In Bali For Kid-Friendly Stays In 2025

Set among Uluwatu’s cliffs and greenery, Grün Uluwatu is a relaxed, family-friendly stay with rooms that look out to either the ocean or the gardens. Each one comes with air-con, a private bathroom and all the modern comforts you could need.

Around the property, you’ll find an infinity pool made for long, lazy afternoons, plus a spa, sauna, fitness centre and a dedicated kids’ pool. There’s a restaurant and bar on site, free WiFi throughout, and plenty of quiet corners to curl up with a book.

The restaurant keeps things simple with a crowd-pleasing menu (Indonesian, American, Italian and Mexican) and breakfast covers everything from vegetarian and vegan to gluten-free and Asian options.

Located between the volcanic shores and dramatic mountain ranges of Candidasa in East Bali, The SEED is a private oceanfront estate with eight bedrooms (including a room with bunk beds for the little ones) and expansive open-plan living rooms across four villas. You’ll also find g a private whole food focussed restaurant, jungle gym, infrared sauna and cold plunge pools, waterfalls, yoga shala, outdoor cinema and a private beachfront making it the perfect getaway for multi-generational family reunions, friends’ gatherings, retreats or special occasions for mixed groups.

Once a string of fishing villages, Candidasa moves at a gentler pace than other regions in Bali. The property looks out across the ocean to the Nusa islands with its own piece of coral reef for you to snorkel. A recently discovered surf break—Jasri—is also attracting surfers to the area.

The property includes multiple entertainment areas for all ages—there are two pools: the 22-metre oceanfront swimming pool and waterfall pool, both with shallow areas for children. There are also ladders to the birdnest 5-metre diving board including secret treetop seating, lookout platform, snugs and a Peter Pan style pulley basket to ferry snacks to the Captain’s lookout.

As far as epic hotels go, you can’t go past the safari-themed Mara River Safari Lodge situated within the beloved Bali Safari and Marine Park near Mount Agung.

Not only are there gorgeous pristine suites, restaurants and spas on site, but more importantly you can watch the graceful elephants, zebras, hippos and other majestic animals in their natural habitat from your windows grazing on their lunch like you’ve transported into some prehistoric land before time. A true treat that everyone will remember. 

The new nature-inspired Umah Rare Kids’ Club at Four Seasons Resort Bali helps the little ones learn all about ancient Balinese culture giving them incredibly special opportunities to learn how to weave palm leaves into decorative ornaments from a Balinese priestess whilst dancing with the local children,  play coconut bowls, fly hand-crafted kites on the beach, make local fruit-based desserts with the chefs and the list just goes on and on.

For a truly beautiful and stimulating experience for the kiddies (and more time for parents to recharge too), this is a great pick.

Many families love the peaceful shores of Nusa Dua for its tranquil beachside calmness away from the craziness and chaos of inner Bali, particularly if you have little ones you have to constantly keep an eye on.

Not only does The Westin have a dedicated kids only freshwater pool with a 12 meter long water slide, but they also have endless water activities like canoeing, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding to keep them entertained (and wear them out by bedtime too we hope.)

This forest haven is for those wanting to be surrounded by lush jungle in absolute luxury from the moment you arrive.

The safe and protected 90-hectare estate at RIMBA by Ayana has access to a whopping 11 pools, a private beach club, 14 restaurants and bars and two iconic bright colourful kids clubs that kids can sneak into through a ‘secret’ poolside entrance making them feel like the stars of the show.

This spectacular all-inclusive resort was crowned in the World Travel Awards in 2022 thanks to its beachfront luxury and unparalleled level of service that enables you to customise your own dream holiday.

For little adventures, there’s plenty of snorkelling, canoeing and paddle boarding gear if you want to hit the water, as well as supplies for tennis, basketball, badminton, yoga and dancing anytime you feel like it. 

Located in the heart of Nusa Dua, The Ritz-Carlton is a luxury resort that caters to guests of all ages with an immersive and adventurous Ritz Kids program, finely crafted luxury experiences for adults, and plenty of activities to enjoy together.

Bonus points if you book the Ritz Kids Night Safari, which turns your suite into a mini adventure zone. Little travellers get their own tent, a wireless lantern, a Leo the Lion plush and even a cute campfire toy — basically everything they need for a cosy indoor “camp-out.” It’s an easy win for parents and a guaranteed hit for kids who love a bit of make-believe.

There’s a lot to love about Alila Seminyak—not only is it nestled into an eight kilometer stretch of stunning beach or that it has some of the best restaurants, bars and spas on site, but they also offer a fabulous ‘Family Spa’ package where parents can get pampered alongside their little ones with a range of treatments that the whole crew can enjoy. 

A three-storey waterslide and bright, whimsical kids only waterpark? Yes please.

The Dynasty has become a cult favourite with families thanks to their family style rooms that feature bunk beds and a separate parents retreat so you can still get a bit of distance while knowing they’re still close by. 

If you’re keen to head up to the hills towards the rolling rice patty fields and spiritual heartlands, then Padma Resort is a glorious option.

Tucked into an unspoiled river valley overlooking enchanting endless greenery, this luxe five star resort has everything you could need for a truly memorable vacation.

Picture yourself sitting out amongst the stars on a balmy Bali evening with twinkling festoon lights above while you watch a private outdoor screening of the kids’ fave film.

It’s this attention to detail and outstanding hospitality that makes St Regis such a fabulous family destination.

Sitting right on Kuta Beach, Hard Rock Hotel Bali is all fun. There's Bali’s largest free-form pool (complete with a sand island), rock-and-roll decor and plenty to keep both kids and adults entertained—alongside free WiFi, on-site parking, and a stacked lineup of restaurants, bars and activities, so you can go full holiday mode without leaving the property.

Days here can be as chill or chaotic as you want: hit the spa, try the climbing wall, record a track in the hotel’s studio, or let the kids loose in their own clubs. Come evening, there’s poolside eats at Splash Bistro, Asian and international fare at Starz Diner, and live entertainment firing up at the Hard Rock Cafe and Centerstage Bar.

InterContinental Bali Resort boasts everything you could need for a family-friendly holiday including six pools, a 500-meter prime stretch of white sand beach, extensive gardens for little ones to run around, a delicious kid-friendly menu, and even a dedicated child-care facility called Planet Trekkers.

Catering to young guests between four and 12 years of age, Planet Trekkers offers a range of indoor and outdoor activities to keep the kiddies entertained including garland and greeting card making, paper crafts, egg hunts, games, drawing, and so much more. There’s also plenty of toys and soft play equipment on hand. For activities the whole family can enjoy, we recommend checking out the kite making, bike tours, and mini soccer games.

A stroll down to Seminyak’s Double Six Beach, The Courtyard delivers a seamless blend of modern luxury and family-friendly fun. With 287 contemporary rooms and suites designed for comfort—think rollaway beds, cots and thoughtful little touches—it’s the perfect base for families wanting to stay close to Bali’s buzzing beach scene.

The resort’s Little Savana Kids’ Club is the heart of the action, open daily from 8am to 8pm for children aged five to twelve. Each day includes two complimentary hours of jungle-themed adventures, from arts and crafts to kids yoga, movie sessions and ball pit escapades, all fully supervised by the friendly staff. Parents can relax knowing the little ones are in safe hands—whether that means lounging by one of the resort’s three pools (including a dedicated children’s pool with cabanas), joining a beachfront yoga class, or sneaking off for a soothing hot stone massage at the spa.

Set in the lush hills of Indonesia’s southern peninsula overlooking the sparkling blue waters of Bali, the Renaissance offers a five-star escape with a theatrical twist. Inspired by traditional Balinese theatre, the resort’s design is bold, imaginative and full of colour—perfect for creative families seeking something a little different from the usual beachside stay.

Each spacious room and suite comes with plush bedding, generous living areas, and private balconies or terraces overlooking the ocean or gardens. The indulgent bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring or, let’s be honest, for the kids to splash about before bedtime. For dining, you are quite literally spoilt for choice. The beachfront Roosterfish Beach Club slings plates of fresh seafood by the water, while Lion X puts a playful spin on classic Szechuan and Cantonese dishes.

Set along the sparkling sands of Nusa Dua’s famed boardwalk, the Sofitel brings a touch of French sophistication to family holidays in paradise. With 413 beautifully designed rooms, suites and villas—many with private pools and direct beach access—it’s luxe living with all the warmth of island life.

For families, the heavenly kids’ club is a total win. Open daily from 9am to 6pm, it keeps little ones busy with dance and yoga sessions, cooking classes, beach games and pool time, alongside a well-stocked reading nook and cozy nap room for winding down between adventures.
